Bargain buys thread

Mountain bikes direct pre-orders have to be in by 22/4/18 to hold current pricing.
Advice is that they have pre-ordered sets based on guessed popularity and once they are sold thats it...
I don't think this is a bait and switch as some are claiming, rather an under estimation of some of the sizing people are after

Good info . I don't really need a 3rd set of carbon rims...but also maybe I do. Those Stan's Valors are an even better price for a set of race wheels, just not as light or as good a warranty as the Enve 50's

For eight dollars more, you don’t have to paint a horse to make it look like a cow.

I feel like I'd be buying it just cos it's cheap. Will it be a decent upgrade from my $30 Aldi special that's been a good workhorse for the last few years?

Read today that with a subscription to MBA for a year for $50 you can get a digital pressure gauge (topeak smart gauge D2). In the fine print right down the bottom it then says only to the first 50 subscribers which I think is a bit misleading.

Cheap strap wrench for servicing top cap on dropper posts

The strap above is wide enough to use with vise grips if the top cap won't play nicely....

Why the clearance, is there a change coming?

 

[beeb]

Looks like mainly clearing old stock. Fingers crossed for new Bronson with N4 style linkage and longer reach/shorter seat tubes though!
