I've found their gear hard wearing and well made, so it might be worth a look. http://www.cycle-clothes.co.uk/
I tried and failed on both laptops and my phone to order stuff from here last night.

Once my basket had more than 3 items in I couldn't scroll down the page to place the order.

Gonna have to phone them tomorrow

When you add something to the basket, a pop up window appears that shows cart contents; this wouldn't scroll for me either, but clicking on the basket button at the top puts your cart in its own window and you can check out from there. Simples ;)

That wouldn't work for me, I still got a window that wouldn't scroll.

Anyone looking for a good 'bombproof' shelter might be interested in these, reduced from £270 to £130.

Not the lightest but 3 layer eVent seldom is but fully waterproof, highly breathable, roomy, free standing and quick to pitch.

Maxxis Mammoth 26" x 4" tyres, 120tpi TLR, £30 seems good? As a rear tyre anyway. Looks like a super-Ardent.

I have these front and rear and like them. Fast rolling for a 4" tyre, not that you buy a fat bike for its low rolling resistance :lol:

Lots of ex display/demo stuff on the Evans website as some very good discounts. Exposure lights too, very tempting but I'm pretty well sorted on the lighting front

Evans have big discounts on shoes. Rimes are 75 at the moment. Which is lucky if you haven't seen yours since you finished the HT550...

I suppose I'm a bit of a stick in the mud when it comes to technology BUT I bought a power bank from Aldis in November last year and at £8.99 I thought it was worth a punt. Well blow me its been brilliant it has extended the running time on my Garmin 800 from 2 days to 8 days in total (approximately). A good bit of kit AND cheap as chips :-bd
The brand is Terris and its came with a 3 year warranty.

All bikes 20% off at halfords and another 10% when you use a BC membership card. Makes the CX bikes a pretty good deal and they have rack/guard mounts this year. If your local store has the previous years models in stock they are silly cheap.

Chainreaction have got the black chilli protection version of the X-king for £23.49.... That's 56% off retail price. Bonkers cheap, and the best version by far. I usually pay about that for the pure grip version, which are very good, but flimsier on the sidewalls. Tubeless up easy, I with no leaking so far
