Giant sale at FTR as well, but 20% off - https://fortheriders.com/collections/dual-supsension/products/20-giant-reign-advanced-pro-29-1-bike?variant=29819064418382

The 15% off sale is a bit of a furphy. An M8000 rear derailleur was $124.99 last night. Today it is $140.99 with 15% off. Savings over last nights price is 4.1%. Bit cheeky.

Happens time and time again... Thievery afoot.

That is pretty ballsy isn't it.

Any chance anyone has a cached version of the 124? I would pull them up on it.

Yeah but you can’t buy from Wiggle surely?

Yep. Sometimes. If it’s in Aussie warehouse.
Doesn’t show up in stock for Aussies if you’re logged in for the geoblocked stuff.

I bought some local-stock Shimano rotors from CRC and they were here in two days.

Shame the range is limited.

Use the wiggle au site. Yes it’s limited, but what’s on there ships within Aus it seems. Some things very well priced, others not. Seems more roady scum focused.

anaconda have some hydro packs on clearout, with bladder for 15, only storage for keys/tyre levers, but still better price than bladder alone @26

I bit the bullet and bought These bars (click here) to replace my bars from my DH bike (750mm wide) and use the 750's to my trail bike (720mm wide) . Aiming to get a bit more modern sizing/better descending.

Wondering if anyone knows much about them? I think FSA is a well established and decent brand?

Now on the lookout for a new stem!

 

[moorey]

Been around for years. Not shite, not high end. A bit like FUNN.
They make a lot of silly cranks with silly BCD’s.
They will work.

Been running these for the last 4 years. FSA Gravity Light Held up well to a 120 kg + and box full of spanners riding style.

Princely sum of $37.99. Bought them to try out 800mm bars.
