Non-Ebay Deals/Bargains

They are novatec:

Who also make good hubs, as the people at Hunt are aware, so what? I'm perplexed by your insistence that all sales by Far Eastern manufacturers go through Ali Express, and that unless you have 'someone over here' you're automatically going to be screwed over if you source goods from the Fat East. As I'm sure @OllieTheWizard can confirm, that ain't so.

never said or meant to say any of that..

Well, anyway, PlanetX are doing 100 Clarks brake cable for £20 or 500(!!!) for £40...

Only front cable though

Yeah. To be honest I was getting a bit carried away, wondering how long it'd take me to make some money selling them BIN on eBay for £1 posted.

"UK SELLER!!! L@@K! RETRO EROICA DURA ACE COLNAGO"

Autocorrect wants me to spell eroica as ‘erotica’. I wonder if you’d get more listing views trying to sell erotic cables.

Don't dick over Charlie, he ain't no wiggle cunt.

Hasn't he sold up?

I think so, but if he's been bought out already I doubt it's by a cunt.

Fair enough, details removed incase they got an influx of orders and it's a ball ache to deal with.

Now I wanna know what it was

Sweet, my orders are much more likely to go through now.

😉

Order failed. Ah well.

Can you tell us what it was in that case? The £0 shifter?

i think it was some bars

Yeah it was Surly Sunrise bars. £0.00 and in stock.

They’re back up to £74.99 now.

Booooo

The code 'SAVE40' now takes 40% off everything at innertube shop, not just bundles.

Are the "superlight" tubes any good? Or am I going to puncture them all on the first ride?

I have dabbled with the world of "superlight" inner tubes and I would say no. Puncture resistance comes from your tyre. If something pierces through that, the thickness of your inner tube is going to do diddly squat.

Pinch flats could be another story, but if you're getting those you need to pump your tyres more and stop riding into curbs.

Hmm, alright. I've also heard that latex inner tubes don't retain air very well and go flat, but it says these are butyl, so I might take a punt.

Beware, they will be prone to puncture on installation

Having a read of this they don't like them. Hmmm. Not sure.
