Yes - they were on for the World Cup Final only.

Dammit, I was too busy watching the final.

Just to annoy you, it was all day until the end of the Final...

Boooo! I ordered 3 things from the PBK sale and got 1. Just got an email from them saying they're out of stock now so the order's been cancelled. Boooooo!

Same here , when I ordered my items there were 5 in stock after I ordered my 2 I checked and it had gone down to 3 in stock . Then I got an email saying they`d run out and awaiting more stock ,now today an email saying the order has been cancelled . So I didn`t get anything, they`d even taken the payment so not particularly happy.

Looks like I'm in the same boat; order marked as processing, but payment taken.
Only one item, but will be unlikely to try again with them, especially given positive experiences with most of the other major websites.

What are the helmets like I have seen conflicting reports some say the inserts keep falling out.

I cant see how as they are held in with Velcro just like every other helmet .
Nice bit of kit to be honest . The rear adjuster flips down and you tighten it more towards the neck than the back of the head . Even with the chin strap off you need to release the tension on the back to get it off your head . I guess if you get launched off the bike at speed its a handy feature . No idea why all helmets are not like that .
Sun glasses fit in the slots nice and the black one I bought makes me look like a tit . I tried the white one but it made me look like a nob so I decided looking like a tit was better .

Oh I was thinking about going for white with the GB Flag on it, I will have to have a look at it in the flesh I dont want to look like a nob

I had already decided on black of sorts as I have a white one and swapping in my mint specialized echelon doubled its resale value and put £15 on the RRP . Shame the old one is going in the bin as it really was mint . Hopefully a shop worker rescued it

Thanks for the Planet X heads up, I found they had a pair of Carnac 'urban' type SPD shoes for £20 to replace my scruffy and ageing Diadora ones for my pottering.

I really don't know how good this stuff is,.. a lot of it looks like cheap tat, but, hey, sometimes cheap tat may be good value for money ;-) ( sounds like the site was set up by Keith Lemon ... Banggood)

Just saw on HUKD that Evans are accepting Tesco Clubcard. £2.50 gets you £5 e-gift vouchers. I can't see any particular brand exemptions like they usually apply, so it seems like a really good deal.

UPDATE: This deal still running, but it is set to expire on the 31st July for cashing your Tesco coupons in. You've then got another two years to spend the voucher after that, which should give plenty of time to get them spent! http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=4166
