Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

for that price you cant go complain, the brakes looking at the video were not set up right anyway , loads of room to adjust them closer to the rim .
Of course its aimed at the BSO market and i wonder how long it would last with some serious hammer ?

For a turbo trainer the issue would be what quantity is the bottom bracket. I expect its some cheap nasty press fit.

i would put money on it being a cheap square taper

Oh my word. They have one / can order at my local Argos. Anyone getting one for a giggle to see how it fares ? **It’s less than a pair of decent Schwalbe’s…….

@sevenfourate - worth a look? Then sell it on if it's as terrible as it could possibly be.

You may be surprised ...

[edit: I've checked and they're available near-ish me as well!]

Theres an echo around here.

Those stock availability quotes are weird - looked when I saw it on GCN and it was collectable by Tuesday coming, now its from 9am tomorrow.

They are an absolute bargain - but what bikes tend to have wheels on which you can mount 700b x 38mm (40-635) tyres?

Ive ordered some of them, £31 for two of them plus two tubes I needed. these will be perfect on the Boardman CX as needed.
