Anyone else make it through all 64 pages ?

Ended up at just over a £100 when the brake rotors and bag were more than that at RRP

Some cheap Lezyne pumps if anyone needs/wants one, ODI grips as noted, frame bags and some decent bells

Good spot, don’t often see big Agnes with decent discounts.

Just checked, seems the email signup codes don’t work with sale items.

I'm assuming that £330 is a 'good' price for a Garmin Enduro watch / gps. Looks like it has the magic charging screen and lots and lots of other stuff.

I was tempted by one at a similar price on Wiggle recently until I realised the Enduro was nearly as big as my kitchen clock!

On paper the price for its capacity is very average.
- Lidl Rock trail powebank /warmer. @ ) £12.99 (iirc)
usb RockTrail Powerbank 5.2ah/138g/ w/leads 152g[/i you realise the pebble is a hand warmer. -3 level warmth. Yay:-bd*
Almost too hot to handle :oops: . Multifunctional tick. Include usb cable with a C-A adatpor double tick.....
They came in with the fishing gear promotion so they maybe still some around. Worth a grovel or route about , if in-store..

*If you're cold and wet... This may make your hand functional , instead of a downward faff and
'what the fück have I just Fücking Done' spiral of dispair... ~X( :-O
As you cak handardly break your gear/ loose in in the cold dark abyss.
Oh and it might feel nice :-bd :lol:

I've a slightly older model (but it's the same) and highly rate it. Quite a bit roomier than some.

I twist and turn a lot trying to fall asleep so I'm hoping this will make is easier than being in a sleeping bag (with no zip to save weight, bad decision!).

Need bearings?

I've used these in the past because of their good stock, low prices and great service.

Now they have a 10% discount off until Christmas if you used code

Hand warmer?? You're nesh lads. Get a grip. This is Bear Bones Bikepacking, not The Other Place :grin: .

Anyway, what's wrong with just shoving your hands down the front of your bike shorts to warm them like the rest of us? (*)

(*) Absolutely nothing of course. However, it's probably inadvisable, at least in polite company, to accompany the warming with loud shouts of " 'BONER!! ".

Not a bargain as the price has gone up since the kickstarter run, but Jack the Rack are now in stock, 90 Euro and whatever the current exchange rate is into £s. Did fancy it and they do look useful, but don't really need one myself now...

Plus shipping and (most likely) duty / vat and it starts to look like very expensive tube.
