Is there anything worth buying from the Halfords Bikehut range? I saw a carbon seatpost in there for £15 today seemed a good deal...

£15 for a carbon seatpost sounds very cheap. Id be interested to know if anyone has purchased one and what they thought!

Is it full carbon, or carbon wrap?

Probikekit were selling carbon posts for £10 the other week, I got one and it's fine.

Hmm, can't find the carbon seatpin on the site I must've been mistaken, back over there tomorrow to double check...

Boardman fixie is nice though http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/..._productId_556651_langId_-1_categoryId_165710

I wouldn't go near a carbon seatpost that only costs £10 with a barge pole. Especially as I have my post long

Oh come on......the barge pole must be worth a tenner alone

Not if it is thin, poor quality carbon it isn't

Carbon posts are fine...but if you have the post out a long way then be very careful.

The ones on PBK are in clearance, they're not normally £10!

Some of the bikes are great value at the moment with their sale on. We bought a couple cheaper than we can get them from our supplier!

Although, I feel for the local shops who have to compete, fortunately we're a different market and they send customers to us.

I've got one of their rucksacks (cost about £20)

I use it all the time on both cycle, and m/cycle. It has got reflective piping and a reflective badge on the back of it.

One of my better buys.

Bottom line, who cares if the product is any good or not. Do you really want to ride around with bars that have 'BIKE HUT' written on them?

I'm not a bike snob but I mean, there are limits.

I went back and I got it. I've done some research and these were apparently £40 originally, for £15 I really can't argue. They are made "In association with Tioga" apparently.

At 224g on my digital kitchen scales I'm pretty chuffed really. All I need now is a nice cheap ti railed saddle to go on it

And the Bikehut logo should keep it under the thieves radar. Anyway I think my light clamp will cover it
