Ultegra brake calipers, seem a good deal for £40 for anyone seeking an upgrade

Not bad price for the old model. The 6800 set is £67.50 at their cheapest. Improved performance with the new design, but £40 is awesome nonetheless.

Been thinking about upgrading my Tektra brakes to 105's , but these will do!

I upgraded my Tektro for 105's and it was well worth it. These will be a great upgrade for you.

Ordered;will replace the Planet X's on the Icarus which I've never really liked;should work nicely with the 105 levers.

Planet X are doing Wired Continental UltraSport II's for £9.99 Buy one Get one Free! Hell of a deal.

They don't have the best rep for puncture protection. The Vittoria rubinos are probably worth the extra, especially as PX charge for delivery

My LBS are running an advent calendar-type thing with a competition and a special deal every day - I've mostly ignored it as I spent too much money over the Black Friday weekend, but there have been some very good deals, today's is a pair of specialized shorts, down from £60 to under a tenner. Thought it worth sharing with this thread, I've found plenty of deals here and thought I'd try and return the favour! www.bikesheduk.com/christmas-advent-calendar

I had 2 punctures in 1000 miles. Not all that bad!

 

[vickster]

I'd say that's quite high actually !

The puncture debate is for another thread. Some people have no problems with some, others find them nothing but problematic

 

[Crandoggler]

Either way £9.99 is cheap for 2 of those tyres.

Plus £3.95 postage

To be fair, I have a pair on my Planet X and no issues in 300 miles. They were delivered free with the bike
