watch out for the rail types at PX as some are Monolink.

Just bought myself a second-hand SLR Flow Carbonio for £40. Seems nice so far. Less than half the weight of my old Charge Spoon.

I like the flow saddles, they don't make me go impotent after long rides like my non flow saddles.

I [heart] SLR, got the XC on my polo bike.

Yeah, that's what I was after; the willy cut-out!

Giro Monaco gloves.
Really good fit and feel. Will be great to race in. Bargain right now, if you like white.

I need new lights again, my rear snapped last night. Any suggestions? Have to be transferrable, somewhat sturdy, but not bulky.

The Cateye £7.50 job at Wiggle is good. So are the boob-shaped Cateye models too.

Sweet, cheers buddy

Anyone aware of online retailers that might be willing to negotiate on price? Buying (lots of) bits for self and for girl and for friend and friend’s girl; a total order of £4-5K.

In my experience most deals are negotiable, if only you can manage to get through to the right person e.g. owner or someone in a position to make financial decisions.

Any thoughts?

For that kind of purchase it may be worthwhile talking to your LBS, especially if you are going to need any follow up help.

Otherwise just google for lowest prices online.

£5k isn't a big order when there are OTP bikes priced at twice that.

I haven't been into a bike shop yet where they keep £10k bikes in the showroom.

Hmm... Sadly you’re probably right. Will have a chat with LBS. 5K might not be a life changing sum of money, but should still hold a bit of leeway for a good deal (he said adding up the numbers (again!) while trying to find a reasonable way of downgrading girl’s bike).

Thanks James. Just been on the phone to local bike-guy and he is able to get me a good deal although he normally doesn’t deal in the kind of gear I have ordered.

Obviously it would be great to support LFGSS.com (for what it’s worth) using affiliated links, but building a good relationship with my local shop isn’t half bad either.

British Cycling are doing half-price membership (useful for 3rd party insurance and legal advice) if you use the code in this link:

Furthermore, I signed up to one of those cashback sites - quidco - which will apparently (not holding my breath) give £12 cashback at some point in the near future. So effectively, membership is free.

Nice one, have been meaning to register.

Looks like a variant of the one I got from Lidl for about that price a couple of years ago. Works perfectly well as long as you're not someone who likes to change the on-screen settings much. The two buttons are a bit stiff and unresponsive.

On the Cyclesurgery website they have Continental GP 4 Season tyres reduced to £25.79 and then its buy one get one half price. Went to the shop in Holborn to just buy them and get two tyres for £38.68. This is less than the price of one tyre there usually
