Thanks for this, got one yesterday and just used it. Feels so much better than my Be Venture, which is now my "short ride and commute" helmet.

SpinPOWER S1 Smartphone Bicycle USB Charger Kit. All-in-one kit and only £32! Been looking for a product like this for weeks after reading about Nokia's charger. Sold at an American shop (Bike2Power.com), but they ship to UK. Both my wife and I got one each, her for her iphone and me for my HTC incredible.

Happy Riding!

Let's share info on final product quality, if/when they arrive. I am not too worried, I think we'll get something decent, if not the real thing.

Well after all that time it finally arrived yesterday. What a disappointment! The material is quite nice but the colour is not the Specialized red that I have on a genuine Spesh shirt; it's much more orangey red.

Worst of all is the size, it's TINY! I ordered medium and the label says medium but this is sized for a tiny skinny Chinese chest, small or extra small! I can only just get it on and zipped up.

Oh well, I'll stick it on Classifieds now along with another I bought, then Ebay if nobody wants it then off to good old Wiggle for a dhb jersey.

I hope you've all learnt an important lesson.

Not really worthy of its own thread, but I have won two £5 (when you spend over £50) vouchers for Wiggle. They are valid for July, so if anyone has a use, then I can pm the code.

PBK are doing 10% off with the voucher TOUR10

Just been to Aldi and found their Waterproof duffle bags in the watersports stuff. Big 44l bags in yellow and orange at £7.99, very much like those expensive waterproof panniers.

I bought two as big pannier or trailer bags.

I will use some webbing to make a carrier for them to mount on the bike to save puncturing the waterproof fabric.

I also picked up their three pack of 9 LED torches including batteries for £4.99.
Seemed like good items to use as bike lights.
One will have a bit of red lense glued to it as a rear light.

Bell Slant Helmet - £25 at Decathlon

Thanks for this, got one yesterday and just used it. Feels so much better than my Be Venture, which is now my "short ride and commute" helmet.

Anyone know if this deal is still running? Can't find it on their website, but then can't find much on their website, because Decathlon's website is a DISASTER! Adult helmets listed under Junior BMX and Mountain bike protection. Riiiight.

Happy to pop out and check but my nearest Decathlon is about a 10 mile ride.

EDIT Phoned them, my local one has them. Sadly it's red. Bah.

Anyone still needing a phone for maps and GPS tracking (mytracks, trackmyride, endomondo etc etc) t-mobile have some stock of their Android Pulse Mini at £20 + £10 topup PAYG = £30 inclusive of 6 months internet. It's best to leave data turned off until you have text confirmation of the free 6 months internet. No doubt it will be old stock so possibly only available today.

Anyone had any luck with the 6 month internet addon? I've not received a message or anything... the old pulse mini page is down, viewing it on cached search links to the other page which no longer has the 6 months now and the 30 day free says you will receive an SMS on how to claim it with the phone - I assume this is the same for the 6 month one and we haven't received anything.

Got a pulse mini for the mrs & when I called to register the PAC I told them about the 6 months internet & got a txt saying it had been added

 

[albion]

When I got mine I just sent them an email via the web support.They then phoned me back reasonably fast and confirmed/put it on via an email text.

I received nothing regarding the free web access after 4 days so I emailed them asking how to get it. I had a phone call within 5 minutes confirming it had been added and it was followed up by a text message confirmation.
