Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

which end caps and why the need for spares?

These end caps for the Doyenne rim brake…

https://www.wiggle.com/search?query=sr2+end+caps

I only bought extras as they are currently .99p. With wiggle potentially going under might not be able to buy spares in the future.

Edit - just realised I bought the SR1 end caps by mistake. Too late to cancel. If anyone wants to swap some SR1 for SR2 end caps let me know.

That has to be a ‘drop the price of out of stock items to game the seo’ deal right?

Doesn’t seem logical to me to sell for that cheap! I bought one these instead the EXTRA10 worked.

I would have thought companies like Brooks would have bought the stock back from wiggle at cost price, which would mean no hit on the brand, and wiggle get the money back rather than selling for a loss like all the 'non prestige' brands. Or distributors who can't afford / don't want to take it back.

Brooks are now owned by Selle Italia so if they were taking the Brooks stock back then surely they’d have taken the Selle Italia stock too.

I was meaning that they’ll take an item that’s out of stock and drop the price way down to appear higher you search results/drive clicks to the website in the hope you then buy something else.

Selle San Marco I thought? Same argument though.

Also, maybe this is splitting hairs (or is it heirs?) but is it not more likely that wcrc have a debt with whichever supplier and the stock being returned wipes out some of that debt rather than the supplier buying back stock that’s been paid for?

When the lbs I used to work in went bust the Madison rep was trying to get in to the shop to get all the stock back and that was going to cancel out some of what the owner owed but instead he’d taken it all and punted it on eBay to make himself a few bucks because he was a cunt.

I had a situation where I ordered a couple of things from CRC.. at the time I was only able to select the standard delivery. Next day/priority delivery was not available on the website at all.

A few days passed and still no updates on the order, still “processing”.. in the meantime the items that I ordered dropped in price. I asked them what’s going on with my order and if it had been shipped or not. Also said that if it still hasn’t been shipped then I’d like them to cancel the order.

They ended up canceling the order for me, and I ordered the same things again with next day delivery available again, and not only did I end up getting the things for cheaper, I also effectively got the next day delivery fee for free, and the items actually arrived on the next day.

If you’ve ordered something and it’s gone down in price but still hasn’t been processed/shipped, then it’s best to cancel and order again (provided your item/s are still in stock) as they have directly said to me via live chat that they unfortunately cannot refund the difference of the price drop, for whatever reason :)

Ah is it?

I just ordered some of those 54t ratchet ring upgrades for the 2 sets wheels i bought and about 10 left if anyone dithering if price might get lower

Are there any Ribble codes or are they less likely to run voucher codes

just means that they are narrow rims no?

I don't know, more like on spec for tubeless? They are still holding pressure without sealant now.

We need an ooh matron thread.

I have an Officina Battaglin Power+ Evo for sale. Would suit someone about 5’6” I reckon.

The thread goes back so far I can’t even remember what you’re replying to.

You didn’t have a bike to put the Campagnolo groupset on.

Oh sorry. I’m ok now thanks. GLWTS.

These mt800 rotors seems like a good deal on Merlin, 140 for £20 or 160 for £25

How are we getting the prime decals off our discount wheelsets then gang? Carefully with a heat gun any good?

Doyenne? I literally managed with just peeling them off. A low temp on a heat gun/hairdryer will probably help along the way
