I just tried it, got all way to paypal with the discount holding

(I don't really need anything, so stopped there)
 
A few years ago at Christmas, Threshers (may it rest in peace) tried to give everyone associated with the company a very generous discount (30% off, I think). But the vouchers were emailed, and could be printed by anyone. They went viral. A disaster, you'd think. But they increased sales by so much that it was worth the cut in profit margins, and they repeated the same exercise the next year, but openly on their website.

I think Planet X is trying the same thing: making us think we have found a crafty bargain. Hell, I nearly ordered a merino top i don't need because of the "savings". And they'll still get most of their usual sales from people who haven't heard about this.

Just tried the planet x code for a new bike. The code is not valid.

Just tried the code on some wheels and lights, worked ok on those

It would appear the code is still valid, but only on some things. It didn't work on todays daily deal, but it works on the bike I bought 2 weeks ago http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/FBPXRT57FORCE22/planet-x-rt-57-sram-force-22-road-bike A real steal at £799 with the discount, I thought it was really good value at £999 but £200 off that :ohmy:

Looks like the tyres are well over priced to start with ,Continental Grand Prix 4000s II - £45 each , can get 2 for £50 elsewhere .

I got 2 Planet X. 700c x 23 Kevlar @ approx £12 each which I think is quite cheap for decent winter tyres.

The GP's at that price are expensive, you have to be selective with your purchases.

Yep look good value for the winter bike , I was going to get the 4 contis , Dont need them till about April for summer bikes but they are to expensive even with discount .

Tiagra 10 speed cassette £10 plus discount looks good.
 
If you like watching videos of other people's adventures... then the following 3 DVD's are available for this week only at £19 plus P&P until this Sunday (subject to availability). http://adventuretravelfilms.co.uk/
  1. Tom Allen's Janapar: Love on a Bike, (3½ year bicycle journey across three continents with a rather unexpected love story running through it - fell in love with a Iranian Christian woman)
  2. Alastair Humphreys' and Leon McCarron's Into The Empty Quarter (gruelling yet highly entertaining 1,000-mile slog across the Empty Quarter desert of Oman and the UAE, following in the footsteps of Wilfred Thesiger)
  3. Austin Vince's Mondo Sahara (a DIY adventure travel film in the UK with a cast of fellow fun-loving adventure motorcycle travellers as they ride out of Europe into Africa's Sahara Desert)
I have read Tom Allen's Janapar and enjoyed it, so given my bedbound status have purchased them.
