a Sea to Summit Cinder Down Quilt from their sale. I'd tried the Alpkit quilt before and found it too cold (seems it is generally poorly reviewed) so hopefully this is one works better for when I don't want to take my sleeping bag. The bags and info leaflets it comes with are quite nice :) @yourgui...

..and dropped off some stuff from Wiggle (Prime Barrouder wheels for the SS gravel bike, a long sleeve dri-release DHB top), and a Giro Cascade insulated vest. @FLV, www.giro.co.uk have a decent sale on with some polartec alpha pieces at something like 70% off. I went for the gilet to compliment the...

...and dropped off a few last bits from the Chiggle fire sale: Ragley Trig triple mount gravel fork (£85 ish), pressfit installation tool (£20'ish) and some pawls and springs (99p!) to try & improve the sticky freehub on the smart trainer. Still have my finger hovering over some Fohn and DHB kit...

Opposite end of spectrum to Jameso's post but these carbon forks look to be a good price https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/r ... -bike-fork
Triple pack mounts, internal dynamo routing, decent clearance (700x45)

star nut fixing tool

Otherwise known as a hammer?

Was convinced I wouldn't get it in straight so got one of these



All fitted now, pretty straightforward in the end

With some 100mm (Boost) 29er Reba's from the Alpkit Outlet eBay store. Then Evri dropped off a parcel from CRC, with a Lifeline shock pump (for £6.99!) plus some Prime Orra flared bars to get free postage :-bd cheapest I've seen them at £29.99. Crown race and star nut fixing tool due for delivery to...

@Hyppy - how do you rate the reba's? They do the job nicely. I'm no suspension aficionado though, so couldn't tell you what I miss out on from more expensive options. My choice was largely weight-based, and I couldn't justify the few hundred quid more to save a few hundred grams by going with SIDs....

Thanks for the replies all. I was originally going to a Huntsman from PX when on offer a month or so ago, to add a MTB to the stable, but couldn't justify the cost (though did look to be a bargain). Therefore thoughts turned to converting the 29er to a bouncy hardtail. It may be partly scratching an...

Have been been thinking about some 100mm suspension forks for my rigid Silk Road 29er, with the idea that I'd swap out for hardtail play days in the woods, and rougher routes. TBF I'd been waiting for a short Redshift stem to come along, but they're still not released yet. Does anyone swap forks reg...

I just picked up a Lanshan 1 "copy" from Nightcat. Lots of reviews on YouTube. Again, it's a (single) trekking pole tent, but I use a 125cm carbon pole for it. Got it for a little over £100 as they had a 20% discount offer. Site was Chinese-based but the tent arrived only 2 days later from...

@mustang have DM'd re the rack

@fatbikephil that may have been the SX model with a Judy Silver fork. GX and Gold 35 SL thingy wotsit fork sounds like a decent £200 upgrade...the fork alone looks to be around £350 on other sites and equivalent to older Revelations...

Is this a good deal? Not had a MTB for years and was hankering for a singlespeed (has sliding dropouts), this says clearance for 2.8 29er tyres and kitted out with GX Eagle and RockShox 35 Gold RL DebonAir 29" BOOST Fork. Any good for £899‽ ...with a dropper post and delivery just over a grand...

@voodoo_simon. Agree about a bottle being too wide (though have successfully fitted a small tool keg in a bottle cage with a Wolftooth off centre adaptor). I currently use mine like this: https://i.postimg.cc/8PbZJyYL/PXL-20230607-185928963.jpg Topeak Morph pump one side, and Stanley hip flask on th...

Yep, real shame. Love my Ti Silk Road, and had some small forks bags & cages when cheap, all very functional and keenly priced. Still smarts a bit that they did the Silk Road for under a grand not so long ago, as paid a bit more than that...you have to wonder how much the yo yo pricing might hav...

https://i.postimg.cc/mDHN2hQd/PXL-20230607-161907344.jpg Notwithstanding the sad news about Planet X on the other thread, the postie brought me these Rival 1x shifters from them this morning. Look to be OE, as no official Sram box or instructions, but came bundled with cables in a plain box sealed ...

^thanks. Still a bit pricey then, but I guess if the positive reviews are anything to go by, might still be a good buy. Will be interested to hear how you get on with it after a few trips!

@yourguitarhero Glad you like it. Do you mind me asking how much it cost all in (poles, delivery, import charges)? My son's currently working in Banff and planning to come back home for a few weeks in September. With Durstan being a Canadian outfit I thought he might be able to bring one back for me...

A Mezcal and Barzo combo, both in 29 x 2.6 flavour, from BikeInn. Decent price, but took just under 5 weeks to arrive! Probably won't use them again if in a hurry, but their comms weren't bad when I chased them though...

@voodoo_simon. We're they from BikeInn? Still waiting for mine...

Not sure if this qualifies as bargain as still a little spendy, but as Columbia Outdry jackets seem popular here, thought I'd flag this: https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/2178518 OutDry Ex Alta Peak Down Jacket down to £125 in XL only. Being both down filled and fully waterproof m...
