Bargain buys thread

Cyclinic 15% off from tomorrow...

come to think of it.. was exactly this time last year i bought a few things from them.... couple of days before BF deals 🤣
Awesome. I can buy a 27.5 coil fork I may not use, for a 27.5 frame I might never buy 🤪
Or...
I could get a coil conversion kit and spring for a 29er Marz air fork. It's been sitting in the store cart for a bit, so a few bucks off makes it tempting.
 
Rushes down, grabs Vernier's, measures 2 x hardtails that get ridden very rarely and have had their droppers repurposed, both 31.6 😔
I used a 30.9 KS LEV dropper & a shim on a Banshee seat tube that is 31.6mm with no issues. It's a proper shim, not a home-brew one. Can't remember the brand. Could have been Cane Creek or Problem Solvers.

+1 I got sick of never having the right size dropper for a new project so it is 30.9 droppers all the way for me too. A decent quality machined shim with a shoulder on the top is the key to success, even the cheapos that were like shim stock that chain reaction used the sell are shite.
 
I don't know anything about these forks, but they look like a bargain. I love when retailers out no effort into detailing a product they sell...

@ozzybmx USE (Ultimate Sports Engineering) is the brand of shim I'm using.
