Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

But its better than paying nine quid for each wheel.

In keeping with that curious travel mug, this might be of use.
http://www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/3402667/searchTerm/flask.htm

A squat 8" tall 0.35litre stainless steel flask for a princely £2.11.
And being vacuum, it is leak proof and no mug at keeping your winter ride cuppa hot.

I only bought it to use up a voucher but the shorter height means it is more than useful.

Halfords charge £9 a wheel to fit though. Pricey!

You NEED to be able to fit them yourself!
Do Halfords do roadside repairs?
They're not too bad to fit, mine went on fairly easily with Alexrims but were a pain with my Aksiums but by working the tyre around the rim they go on eventually. By the time you've done both bikes you'll be an expert

And knackered! Fitted mine the first time I had to go lie down for abit. Great tyres though.

Halfords ineptitude in web sales programming strikes again

5 of their own inner tubes for £9.99. It's meant to be 4 for a tenner according to their promotional banner, but that comes up as £11.98 and 5 for 9.99. I have ordered 5, hopefully will get the BC discount and Quidco too. Bless them

I ordered a tin of gt85 for £2.25 too which seems cheap too (on a price match apparently)

I get on fine with my Edge Touring

 

[pclay]

I get on fine with my edge touring, but it has the following problems:

Using sat nav it send you on cycle paths that are not suitable for road bikes.
Using sat nav, it send you on a 4 mile route instead of the 1.5 mile direct route.
Several option settings in the device have no effect on routing.

Only buy it if you want to record rides without using a mobile, or you want to follow pre-determined GPX routes.

that is not a fault of the unit and all of them do that and cycling is cycling, you have to take into account some bikes can go onto these routes. How is it to know what type of bike you are cycling on?

The Mio units allow you to select type of bike and then plan routes accordingly.

Hadn't seen that, but signs in the shop were "5 for £9.99" earlier in the month.
