Roll up! Roll up! Get yer mountain bike bargains 'ere!
It’s Monday again. Boo! Which means it’s time for another edition of Dirty Deals. Yay!
We’ve assembled something of a bumper crop of great deals for this week. There must be something in the air as loads of retailers appear to have gone a bit nuts with the pricing gun.
Maybe it’s the Olympics? Maybe it’s the weather? Hang on, it can’t be the weather. Whatever the reason, this week looks to be a good time to scoop some bikey billy bargains.
RockShox Reverb dropper post – £320.00 – £174.95
Don’t have a dropper yet? Wow. Get on with it! Even XC racers are seeing the benefit of running a dropper seatpost. Sure they’re heavier than a fixed seatpost but what price control and, let’s face it, fun?
What’s so good about having a dropper seatpost? You no longer have to negotiate descents or technical trails with a saddle rammed in your midrift. More centred on the bike. More balanced.
The Reverb is one the original dropper seatposts and it is still the go-to dropper for mountain bikers. In fact, even if you already own a Reverb chances are you’ll be interested in buying a second one for your other bike(s).
RockShox Reverbs are the subject of fierce price wars online and at the mo you can pick one up from a UK retailer for an amazing £174.95!
Five Ten Freerider Canvas MTB Shoes 2016 – £80.00 – £67.99
Flat pedals, like dropper posts, are one of modern day mountain biking’s keys to having more fun on your bike.
Forget the old days of slipping around on pezzy pedals, trying to get away with some ropy old skate shoes from TK Maxx. Or trying to get some hiking/walking boots to work on a mountain bike.
Five Ten shoes are The Daddy when it comes to riding flatties. They don’t come cheap but once you’ve tried a pair of Freeriders you’ll simply never use anything else.
You can p-p-pick a pair of Five Ten Freeriders for a tempting £67.99!
Birzman Feezman Cicada Carbon 10 Piece Multi Tool – £39.99 – £27.99
Time to chuck out that chunky old multi tool that’s gone all rusty and stiff. What you could do with is a light, sleek, shiny multi tool that has a built-in chain tool that actually works.
The cute but powerful Feezman tool has hollowed out tools to save weight. And the sides of it are made from bling carbon. Wit-woo! This is a multi-tool that will slip nicely into a jersey back pocket or hip pocket of some shorts.
Treat yourself to a stylish multi tool that isn’t heavy or rubbish for £27.99!
