Five Ten Freerider Pro MTB shoes was £119.95, now £71.97

Save 40%! We know what you’re thinking. “These so-called deals on Five Tens always turn out ot be bogus; they never have any normal sizes!”. This time you’re wrong. Well, so long as you don’t need a size 10 or larger (sorry!). Still, we thought we’d include these in this week’s Dirty Deals because there’s still plenty of sub-10 sizes available and the Freeride Pro is very much sought after riding shoe.

Specialized Element 1.5 Gore Windstopper Winter gloves was £39.99, now £23.99

Save 40%! Personally speaking, I would have killed for these gloves on yesterday’s ride. Even my trusy old 100% Brisker gloves gave up the ghost after a couple of hours’ drenching. Beefy gloves like these are worth keeping in your backpack for when things really do take a turn for the worse.

Save 31%! Whatver happened to the dream of never spending money on puncture repairs again? I don’t know about you, but I seem to spend more annually on tyre sealant than I ever used to spend on inner tubes. I guess you can always repair inner tubes hey… Ah well. It is a price worth paying because permanently puncturing inner tubes sucked iufinitely more!

Fox Racing Proframe Matte Helmet was £225.00, now £135.00

Save 40%! You’re no-one in the world of mountain biking if you don’t have some lightweight full-facer knocking about your garage/shed/car boot. Just kidding!

Oakley DRT5 Helmet was £159.00, now £87.45

Save 45%! Speaking of not-needing a full-facer, here’s the other modern alternative noggin covering. The DRT5 from Oakley has surprised several of us here at MBR by offering superlative levels of comfort. It may look like an exercise in overpriced over-featuring (glasses arm-holding bracket snayone?) but the reality is that this lid is very possibly our facourite trail riding lid currently.

Deals don’t last forever

The intrinsic nature of sales is that they don’t last forever. They are on for a limited time; either the stock sells out and there’s none left, or the price goes back up again once the sales promotion is over. In other words, check the date when this story was published (see top of page, publication dates is listed next to the author name) to see when these deals were announced and act fast.
