Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

had no idea HOF now sells bike stuff

Think it’s just because it’s part of the Mike Ashley owned ‘Frasers Group’ which includes Sports Direct and Evans and stuff so a lot of the online shops list stuff from the others. Prices and delivery pretty much always the same across them all and the website order process and style is too.

At least in Birmingham, HOF sells everything +20% sale on top through evans (located on -1 floor). I presume they clear out everything for having bad financial times?

Berlin's TK MAXX has MIPS helmets for 20€

got this one yesterday in SportsDirect store where I could try it out.
Has a nice profile, not too mushroomy and has mips too, confortable with good padding.

Not sure I'd trust buying an unboxed helmet off the shelf of a TK Maxx

Wiggle and Chainreaction has the V5 Wahoo kickr for sale (plus you can add £20 discount code to make it even cheaper)

True that, we never know how many times was dropped and kocked in the store/transit/warehouse.
I don't trust unsealed boxed ones much.

FREE (with some issues) inflatable kayak here for anyone who wants one.

£75 tandem in Newcastle: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/842458344203710/

So long as the seatposts move, this is a mad bargain as the difficult parts (wheels + crankset) look decent.

Crazy cargo-bike van (I'd probably make it a campervan if I got it ;P) on FB Marketplace
Probably just a terrible old-school bafang motor on it, but for 450, you could do worse

has anyone got a set of deep silver superstar road wheels from that deal a while back they'd like to part with? :)

Some jerseys going less than half price, a few colours.

Lots of Adidas x Parley shoes with Boa in tkmaxx in Lewisham. Not well reviewed at rrp (£170!) plastic soles etc but maybe worth a punt at £26..

Seen these in a few branches.

I bought an unusual adidas X parley sweatshirt there too. Some good stuff

Does anybody know a good source for 3m helicopter tape? All the bike related stuff is pretty pricey.

Bulk buy from https://www.selfadhesive.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=3M+8671HS+Polyurethane+Tape+Short+Roll

Stock availaiblity isn't mentioned on there, gotta wait till mid November for my roll 0f 25mm

Cool, thanks.

Rutland's sharpening stone set for £30 seems reasonable.

Gorilla tape also works well. Doesn’t remove as cleanly, and might be trickier to fit, but it’s plenty thick and readily available. Less expensive too.

Thanks! Just got a pair. They were the last pair at £26, all the rest were a bit more

The Gorilla tape will lift paint upon removal if your unlucky regardless of whether you heat it up whereas the 3M heli tape wont imo.

I use insulting tape exclusively now, much cheap so good.
