I paid less than that for the larger pot!
 
I'm not sure that this isn't going to become a CftFW but I figured if I take one of you fine folk with me then I can feel a little bit better...

Anyway, I have purchased via eBay what the seller (Le Tour Sports/Giro Australia/KB Trading) in Melbourne claims to be a workshop box of 25 x KMC X10.83 chains (assuming no quick links) for $50 and $10 postage.

eBay says there's three items left...

It's only a CFTFW thread post if you didn't want 10 speed chains. ;)

Or when a $5 chain fails and he ends up with a $2k dental bill.

but it wasn't manufactured to that price point originally, I guess.
@ozzy do you use quicklinks or drive a fresh pin through the ends of a chain to connect it?
If anything, I would have thought it would be the quicklink failing if it hadn't been installed correctly, or it had been used a few times and was supposed to be single use only.
 
Found these! S-Works Pathfinder 700x42c.

$90 + $10 shipping so a saving of $80 over the normal price.

This is the first S-Works thing I've ever owned and my first step to becoming a total wanker :D

Apparently Specialized are bringing in a new range in January (from what the online chat let slip!)

Welcome to the S-W⚓
Club. Enjoy the smugness. 😁
 
Me too... Anyone in Brissie wish to split the cost? Don't think I can use 25 in my lifetime

I perused Le Tour and there is no listing on their actual site, but I did find this:
Anyone know anything about intrepid chains??

EDIT: added to cart but when going to checkout it doesn't want to play...

I don't think I'd purchase through their website given that most of that stuff is also listed on eBay and any purchase via eBay is technically protected by their guarantee.

Funny thing is though, I was looking through their site after my eBay purchase and one of those popups about someone else's recent purchase came up. It was mine.

So far it seems that this mob have merely created the postage label. The actual purchase has still not left the warehouse...

I always thought those "someone just bought..." popups were fake :p
 
not a big bargain (or maybe not at all :p ) but.. Treks doing 20% off Shimano chains and cassettes.. have to sign up to get coupon tho.. makes it slightly cheaper than Pushys

Trek before discount: XT 12sp CN-M8100 = $59, after = $47, Pushys - $54
Trek before discount: SLX 12sp M7100 cassette 10-51 = $140, after = $112, Pushys = $119

Not new 650c is an obscure old roadie standard, that was tres cool in the 80s for triathlon bikes or vertically challenged riders. And was probably resurrected from something older than that.

How is it different to 650b? And was there ever a 650a?

Yes there is also 650a, difference is rim OD's a=590mm b=584mn c=571mm.
The reason I'm building a new roadie for the Halliion is the old Alchemy XS roadie with 650c looks like he is riding a clown bike :)
Sheldon Brown is the best place to look at all of the various sizes.

Tyre Sizing Systems

Several different systems of size markings for bicycle tires are in existence. The modern ISO system is not as familiar as it should be, this article explains it.

I'm not in Brissie but have enough 10sp or lesser speed bikes in my family to take one for the team and buy some and happy to offload to any WA burners that may need some, calling @ashes_mtb @Rorschach? Must also check the return policy on the 10sp chain I bought the other week...
