Anyone reckon there will be a 20 per cent off across the board again early in the new year? Like last year? Got a very keenly priced tent last year because of that.

Possibly but if the item is available today will it be available then? Ordered an item from Germany (only 2 in stock) and its post and tax free, something which presumably will not be case in the near future.

Don't see why the post will change. After all lots of stuff from china is post free.

China is still classed barkingly as a "Developing Country" and gets a huge subsidy on postage charges.

Interesting. I knew there was some reason for the oddity.

But I still don't see why brexit (for that's what you mean i assume) will affect european postage rates. Rose bikes of germany already charges a fair wack for postage unlless you spend a certain amount, which I always do.

Walked past their shop in Brighton yesterday, shutters down with handwritten signs saying " Closed for refit" looks like they have a propensity for fibbing!

Planet X are offering a free helmet when you buy a £30 gift voucher. Can’t see a catch to this other than £3.95 postage

View attachment 441433 These Lezyne 1100i loaded front lights are back in stock at Pro Bike Kit. I bought one last time they were on offer and they are excellent. They come with an additional power pack which massively extends the run time.
I get around 1hr 15 mins of full beam from the built in battery then I plug in the power pack for another 2 hours on full beam (I've only used it on full for 2 hours in total).
Cash back via Quidco too.

Hi @Spiderweb do you know if this light is suitable or any good for mounting on a helmet? Looking to get a decent helmet mounted light for night mtb rides, cheers!

You would have to buy the lezyne universal helmet mount to use the 1100i on your helmet. I use mine for road use on my handlebars . Its hard to say but I'm not convinced that it would be the best light to use for mtb night rides if it was your only light. I would be looking for a helmet light with a bit more focus and throw so as to see up the trail. It would work well on the bars in conjunction with a helmet light though

Ok cheers, have a magic shine on the bars with a battery pack under the top tube, just wanted a helmet light too, saw the moon (can’t remember which one) think that was quite cheap and came with a helmet clamp maybe that would be better.
