The bargains are still coming thick and fast, which is just as well as I am struggling to keep my motivation going as the days get shorter, the temperatures cooler and the winds stronger.
I was out on the road yesterday morning after a weekend away and boy was it a struggle. Into a strong headwind for the better part of 30 miles, it was the first run along one of my usual winter routes since last year. I was even tempted to stop off and check for brake rub so leg-numbingly difficult was I finding it. I wish...
So, maybe a little retain therapy will ease the pain? Always Riding are offering 10% off for orders in excess of £100, not bad if you have a blue chip purchase planned. Simpy use OCTOBEROFFER at checkout before October 23.
Wiggle, bless 'em, are also offering an extra 10% off site prices - use code EXT10-SPECIALS at checkout. They also have massive discounts on a whole bunch of kit they want to clear, including bikes. The never ending sale continues...
If you fancy glamming your bike up for winter on a budget, new bar tape is an easy and effective way. PBK are offering 50% off Deda tape at the moment - use DEDA50 at checkout.
Bikes You Like are offering 50% off Altura Night Vision gloves, both yellow and black, bringing them down to £19.99.
Finally, Parkers International are offloading Michelin Pro Race 3 tyres for a oh-so-tempting £20.95 - that's a saving of 38% off the usual £33.99.
Grab 'em whilst you can...
Evans Cycles are offering 15% off all mudguards at the moment. Simply pick the set you like and use the code SOWMUD (no, me neither) at checkout to get your discount applied. Evans aren't always the most competitive, but with 15% off this brings them to the table.
With wet weather returning with a vengeance this week - today I got a real soaking in both directions commuting to work - I cannot put of my mudguards purchase for much longer.
Actually, my riding buddies are sick of me not having mudguards on the Sunday run too, so this is one upgrade that is long overdue. They make me ride at the back when the weather's really bad. Hang on, thinking about it...
So, what else? Parker International are offering 10% off Campagnolo components and clothing. Again, pick what you want, add it to your basket and applythe code 44C4B577-0F6 at checkout. Nice of Parker's to use a straightforward easy to remember code this time - no chance of typing that one in wrong...
Fancy adding some lurid colour to your winter wardrobe? Planet-X are offering Pissei Cuore Italiano Roubaix bib-tights for just £49.99. These remind me of the Mapei kit of the 80s, and if you fancy yourself as Marco Pantani then these could be for you. If hiding in the back of the bunch is more your thing however, then you might want to give these a miss!
Finally, Planet-X are also offering some eye-watering offers on seat posts right now. My favourite is the FSA SL-K carbon pin at a tempting £29.99, down from £75. Great stuff.
Or maybe you'd like the FSA SL-240 carbon post for £19.99 - down from £70.
All in all, a great excuse to upgrade and not ride up grades...
