Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

I was very tempted. I’m glad I missed the really bling wheels

Oh I was heein and hawin over it for a while. I could tell there was only 1 pair when I tried to add 2 to the basket just to check.
My current frame doesn't even take 12x142 so I'm playing the long game with these wheels really.
Ages ago the Canyon outlet website had a really bling set of Reynolds carbon disc wheels for with something ridiculous like 65% off. I hesitated for a day then decided to get them only to find they had sold. Was kicking myself. So I couldn't let that happen again...

Yeah I’m on a set of hunts, albeit 30mm but couldn’t justify even at that very good price.
I’m hoping there might be some higher end returns!?!

Also noting the 2 basket tactic for future

50+ boxes of these lined up on the shop floor today - i actually went to take a look at these having missed out on the Enves, then the Zipps and the 240 versions. All sold, oh well! Next time :)

Holy shit. Over 5o boxes of the ffwd wheels I've bought?!

I actually hadn't heard of triuk until one opened up in a retail park near me. Its a strange set up, its a triuk on the ground floor which you have to walk through to get to the evans on the second floor. The chap explained that they were owned by the same company.

But I remember being surprised at how well stocked the triuk part was. Had loads and loads of really high end bikes on display. The wheel set section had more enve wheelsets on display than I'd ever seen in any other shop.
So I'm looking forward to having a look tomorrow but imagine that all the good stuff is gone...

Where is this holy land of which you speak? If you could have a look for Zipp firecrest disc I’d appreciate it.

It's just outside Glasgow. I'll certainly have a look for you. I'll pm you if there's anything there.

I've realised that I've not had a confirmation email for the wheels o ordered though which is worrying me.
Ive placed two other seperate orders for shoes and a helmet and both got a confirmation order immediately.
I paid via PayPal and the account has been debited. Have emailed triuk but online reviews suggest they have non existent customer service.

Recent online reviews are from people who place an order ignoring the 14-17 day dispatch notification and then chase their orders. CS is probably inundated. Thanks to @Saffronspokes for the heads up. TRI UK have always been a good store. Fingers crossed everyone gets what they ordered.

Yeah to be fair that does seem to be the case looking at trust pilot. Loads of folk moaning about delivery times. But a fair few saying they paid then weeks later told item wasn't actually in stock.
I'm starting to suspect that I'll soon get an email saying similar. Wont be the end of the world I suppose.

The one and only time I've been in the Glasgow store the staff were quite pleasant and helpful. I'm about to head there right now.

Mine just came through. Order cancelled. Quelle surprise

My cancellation email just came through for some shoes I ordered before I shared the link here :(

Ttm was it the ffwd f4d wheels you had ordered?

No, it was a carbon seatpost

My TRI UK orders have changed from processing to received to packing.
Ever hopeful

I realise now I only have a PayPal email... Not a thing from Triuk.
Spoke to a couple of the staff when I was in there; they're advertising floor stock online and having to check online orders at till point to see if they can sell it.
They're literally overwhelmed with the orders at the moment.

1 order cancelled
1 despatched
1 pending

1 Cancelled
2 Still unmoved from the 'Received' stage

1 Order Confirmation
1 unknown

Yeah this is pretty much what I was told too.

Ive ordered shoes, helmet and wheels. Helmet and shoes both got confirmation email from triuk along with paypal payment email.

Wheels no confirmation from tri uk but have paypal email detailing the transaction...

When I log into triuk website and look at my recent orders it only shows the helmet and no trace of wheels or shoes.

Just had a cancellation call/email for my Garmin mount. Stem is on the way apparently...
