Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Not so much of a bargain in the sense that its cheaper now, as the price for these are always the same.
But in case people were not aware. B&M do flapjacks for between 19p each and the size they are makes them ideal for having in your jersey pocket.

My son (who races) swears by them much better than Gels (for him)

Here's an example, but they do a few different flavors too

Well that definitely demanded a fact finding expedition...



Nom, nom.

Supplies are low in our B&M so I've been buying mine from Tesco just recently:

At that price it's hardly worth making your own!

Of two reviews of that, one is appalling - will stick to my homemade cycling snack - i know exactly what goes into them - simple stuff.

Yes but the other gets a glowing 5 stars, it's all subjective at the end of the day. Personally I find them very nice and not at all oily and at 80p didn't break the bank to find out! I have tried making my own and they either turn out like wallpaper paste or rock hard like a biscuit!

's all about oven temperature and baking time. Took a lot of experimentation to get to where I'm happy(ish!) ... and the quest continues!
Oh, if only science experiments had been like this when I were a lad.

bet you don't put palm oil or Mono- and Di-Acetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono- and Di-Glycerides of Fatty Acids in it either. It is still a bargain if it helps destroy rainforests needlessly?

This could be too good to be true but Halfords are showing a Boardman Road sport with a 57.5cm frame for £100 and a newer model Road Sport with 51.5cm frame for £250. I’ve just put both in my basket. Used the code TRADEIN20 and both bikes can be had for £280 delivered or pick up in store.

Absolute bargain! Anybody know if the Cycling UK 10% discount would also apply to this?

Dear me, even without the available funds, this is very tempting. Serious piece of kit for the money

Bite their hand off. Seems you've got one of the best deals of 2019. Not showing at any stores near me and delivery not available now.

Could be a rogue deep web history listing?
Seems to be a particular thing with Halfords.
I regularly get tempted by the offer of £1 selle royal saddles from Halfords which, possibly, once, existed in a time and place far far away.
Not accusing them of deliberate shennanigans - just an oddity.

I've had that a few times with Halfords.... You order something that's ridiculously cheap on a click & collect basis, then never get the mail that its available to pick up. So you phone the store after a week or so, and they know nothing about it.

Kids needed bigger bikes to replace their ageing and small 20 inch wheel bikes (they are now 11 and 13) saw the Halfords 20% off with a trade in deal so had a look. Eventually settled on the women’s vengeance ltd and a Kraken for the boy both discounted already at £280 and £360 respectively then with a further 20% off and then cheekily asked for another 10% with a “blue light card” which they also applied, result. Bikes traded in were old (perfectly ok) hacks not worth tuppence, one of which was my daughters Tesco bike that we only paid £50 for in the first place, Happy kids.
