Looking for mudguards for a 24" wheel bike? i.e. kids one.

Rutland Cycling have 24" Vavert mudguards in grey / black & blue for £4.99 delivered. They're a bit fiddly to fit bit good.

I found them easy to put on, but not particularly puncture resistant.

I bought that offer a week or so ago - the inner tubes both split near the valve on their first inflations.

I find them quite puncture resistant over summer months but once the hedgerow cutting season starts about this time of year then thorns penetrate them quite easily so I swap to winter bike with different tyres .

Popped into Decathlon Lakeside yesterday, they had inner tubes for £1 (700 normal road and 26' ones)
Picked up a warm jacket similar to this (but mainly black with red trim) http://www.decathlon.co.uk/700-warm-cycling-jacket-black-blue-id_8282711.html
for £25 down from 70
And this rain jacket is now £40 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/700-membrane-waterproof-cycling-jacket-red-white-id_8221264.html

Wore my (Halfords ) Craft £9 shorts this morning , they felt like they were worth no more than £9.
you Have not missed much.

Glad to hear it lol. I have fallen into these Halfords "sale" traps before and with hindsight really wished I hadn't bothered. Royally messed about and just wasn't worth the hassle. The way some idiots on other sites witter on about the "bargains" they have picked up at Halfords - good luck to them - they really haven't!

Having said that....

Merlin always seem to have deals on good stuff. And here we have a £299 road bike, Claris kit, carbon fork, Mavic wheels

This is a genuine bone fide bargain for anyone looking for a first road bike & IMO has to be the best value beginner road bike in the UK. £30 delivery charge so for that one would hope it has all been set up and is just a case of attaching the bars and minor adjustments.

I love the fact that they have included rear guard mounts and priced to sell as a winter trainer as well as a beginner bike.

Shame it hasn't been posted on other sites where no doubt this would get "heat" and not many who are in the market for a 1st road bike are going to see on here. Maybe a member of that site should post for guaranteed heat - and to help newbies out?

Ideal 1st road bike. Better / similar spec to my branded 1st road bike that I bought in 2011 for £650.

Bargain!!!

Saw this on twitter yesterday - not sure if it will be any good - Im after some new shoes so might have a look as its close to me!

I was just trying to find this link here, and couldn't (searching for Sigma didn't work).

Thought I'd bump it as it's tomorrow and Sunday.

£150 dura ace di2 shifters - 72% off
That is considerably below trade price - bargain for a new pair.


On the DI2 theme this seems by far the cheapest around for a groupset : http://www.probikekit.co.uk/cycling...70-11-speed-39/53-groupset-grey/10875083.html - from ProBikeKit

LOL - definitely in the spirit of this thread. A £330 full bike from a very decent seller is just linked then goes to a £950 groupset from perhaps the worst UK bike & component seller!

Probikekit is a thoroughly shonky company - owned by The Hut Group - just put that into Google for reviews of how dodgy they actually are. I would recommend Wiggle, Merlin, Ribble, Chain Reaction - PBK - not to my worst enemy - utterly awful. No CS phone no says a lot!

It's just a shame that the usual deal thieves that browse this thread aren't really interested in helping others. Otherwise they would have posted the £330 Merlin beginner bike on a more widely accessed site like http://www.hotukdeals.com/

You are going to be guaranteed heat at that deal....Why not post? And whilst your at it try the £950 Di2 - LOL!!!!
