So did anyone else take advantage of this offer and not receive their order? I ordered a couple of items on 26th April and still haven't received them. I've sent an e-mail chasing up but not had any response to that either. Just wondering if anyone else had any issues before I chase them again.
I ordered the 24th of April hasn't turned up a week later or had no email to say that there was a problem , gave them a quick call ,a very helpful lady had them dispatched that day on a next day DHL delivery, customer service is a bit sloppy but I had no issues after I'd spoken to them ,she sounded like it wasn't only me they had temporarily forgotten about and people calling about their order was the norm , give them a call and you'll have it this week

Garmin Montana 700 on eBay.

Looks a bargain.

If anyone wants the Montana but does not want the maps I would be interested in the maps.

Anyways I digress, £85 down to £30

I reviewed a set of those Carbonators about 2 years ago - I liked them a lot, but not as much as the Wide Lightning (Alu) version. Bargain price there though.

What are their hubs like? Do they make their own or rebrand someone elses?

Just bought a Spark Mk3 and a Flare for £24. Twice.

The mk4 was out of stock so I figured it wouldn't come back in, but we shall see if they deliver.

I got the email too. I nearly bought the flare before realising that it's a front light! Their delivery is pricey isn't it?

cheaper alternative to gorilla tape:

just sealed a rim using this tape, seems just as sticky and is tougher to rip than gorilla tape. will report back if there is a drastic failure!
