pro cycling was a very good mag about the sport , interviews, features etc all based around road racing with very little reviews/ adverts on rich boys toys

Yes, I moved from Readly to Pressreader a year or so ago.
Great app.
Use it free in combination with my library card details.
You have to log out and back in again, re-entering your library details about once a month or they try to put you on the paid service, but it's no big deal to do so.
Cycling Weekly, Cyclist, Cycling Plus, Mountain Biking UK, MBR are the main cycling mags that are available.
Not as big a selection as Readly, but I think it depends on your council library service which ones they are subscribed to, so you may find more, or less.

Carrots are a remarkable bargain at the moment 😂
Bag of seven for 24p in Aldi
23p/kg in Sainsbury's
I remember when I was in primary school in the late sixties and early seventies, we used to buy a penny carrot at the corner shop at lunch time or on the way home, so they were either expensive then or they are very cheap now.
Bananas, at about 14p each also always surprise me how cheap they are.

You're right about depending on Library service as to what's on offer or has limited access to the App. Equally some are not signed up at all.

Good morning,
That link took me to Fulcrum 900s, not 700s
900s were on special offer https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/planet-x.288356/ for £80 or £89 (I've forgotten which) when this link was posted and are mostly sold in the £120-£150 range.
So they have been "reduced" from £89 to £109
Wiggle have them for £89 at the moment.
https://www.wiggle.co.uk/fulcrum-ra...IyAsctNpaIXnCG10RQEaAoRCEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
In truth they are a very basic wheel and are not cheap "campag".
The ride seems harsh, ,maybe I should put some tyres on them.
For me Planet X is a ruined brand, they are sort of like Sports Direct, so much stuff has massive discounts that end up with the price being the same as everyone else selling the same product.
So whenever I see something on offer I always look elsewhere and often find it just as cheap and if I can't find it I wonder about the quality! It doesn't help having extra brands such as On One which confuses me about the business's identity.
Bye

Been around that price for ages. Nobody would ever pay £250 for 900’s. Great marketing though.

Theremay be better out there, but I thought this was a bargain.

Ordered 2 of them in preparation for an enjoyable summer season exploring.

Just seen that and with free postage, seems a really great deal/ remember having a set of fulcrum 7 wheels years ago and they lasted years even fitted new bearings a very easy job lasted until the rims where worn out perhaps due to using them in all weathers?
Can not under stand why so many worn used wheels sell for so much more than the price of a new set like this on Ebay?
