Bit of a disposable or short life item as I reckon it’s probably naff.

Welcome on board Dan and doing your best to bring the CycleChat bargains thread upmarket. I like this as a deal:

https://www.merlincycles.com/reserv...eelset-with-tyres-and-rotors-700c-334674.html

Some really nice Reserve wheels with rotors and GP5000s for a decent price. XDR hub, but changeable as a DT swiss hub (albeit makes it not such a bargain if you need to).

And for the bargain chain discussion - you can even get 12 speed for £10

I'm unclear on comparability of chains across manufacturers/speeds. My daughter has a Liv Avail running 2 x 12 speed Shimano and id like to swap in a new chain as a cheaper wear item than cassette or chainrings. Is this Deore chain suitable? I think it comes with a KMC X12 as standard
Thanks

Yes a Deore chain will be fine.

For 12 speed Shimano, IMO you can't beat Shimano chains because nobody else has mastered anything that works as well with the HG+ system (the chamfering on the chain marries up to the ramps on the cassette etc.). This wasn't the case with 11 speed and below.

There isn't a whole load of difference between 6100 (Deore) and 7100 (105) level - its mostly just the final treatment- and lots of new bikes come with 6100 chains on otherwise 105 groupsets.

I'd thought it was most likely compatible but appreciate the input from someone a little more knowledgeable before jumping on this deal - thanks!

I went to the effort of actually finding the shoes, hyperlinking the address, copying the image to display when all i needed was just to say, shoes in Evans

 

[Dadam]

I'd a pair of these. Very decent for £15 & delivery

Cheers, ordered. Just the thing for dry weather commuting and can wear round the office. I'd prefer without the branding but not a big problem.

Knog Oi Classic bell in large* £12.99 at Halfords
I've got two of these on my drop bar bikes and like them a lot. Low profile and decent sound, if not the loudest.
* for 23.8 – 31.8mm bars. Small for 22.2mm bars is £16.99

Not the bargain of the year by any means, but Amazon have the Pirelli P-Zero TPU tube with a 60mm long valve for £12.99 each, about half the usual RRP.

Tubey things

I have a few of these, and some of the Ridenow mega cheap ones, and it's fair to say the Pirelli's are clearly that bit better made, not that I have had issues with the RN tubes.

With these Pirelli tubes, they hold, and jeep the air in incredibly well, if they are on a bike you don't use for a fair portion of the year, unlike latex, which loses air as soon you look away, these hold it for AGES, it's very impressive.

The other main plus point, is that they are black and yellow - some TPU tubes have orange valves, imagine having those stuck through your wheel rims on display to everyone

The other more pertinent plus point is that they take up very little space, and also weigh very little versus butyl tubes.
I like to leave the house with two spare tubes, and due to the size of these, combined with using a ride wallet thing (Within which I can fit my phone, keys, tyre levers, multi tool and two of these tubes) I can also now do without a saddlebag.
Across the 4 tubes (2 in the tyres, 2 in my jersey, plus the loss off the saddlebag) it's saved ME over 500g in weight.
Cyclestore & Tweeks sell the repair kits for £5.99, Amazon are trying to knock it out for £12.99!

Found a report online that electrical tape works as a patch on TPU. Tried & tested, it does indeed work!
Test for yourself in the comfort and safety of at home for reassurance.

Middle of Lidl today they are selling rechargeable electric tyre pumps for cycle, car and motorcycles £29.99 looks really handy
