I thought it was only me. For the longest time, I was waiting for this free shipping deal.
Now that it's here, I cannot remember why ..

The Wiggle website looks like it's been designed by the work experience kid, but there are some good deals. If anyone needs some big tights for winter (5C-15C), these DhB ones are really good, especially at $66!

I have a few pair of older aeron bibs they work for me at 184cm 76kg in a size M.
Ordered a couple more. Will chuck some old castelli bibs.

Can second this recommendation.

I've had four pairs on rotation for the last year and a bit, and they are brilliant value for money. Can't see the sense in paying extortionate amounts for bibs when these perform extremely well at a fraction of the cost.

Think I'll stock up on a few more.

Also a shout out for the DHB Aeron Thermal Jersey which I picked up a couple of when they were nearly half price (they aren't now, but worth keeping an eye on).

Yep good leg grippers and Elastic Interface chamois.

Those bib longs linked above my post are a bargain!
I prefer the flexibility of leg warmers. Too warm and you take them off and stick them in the jersey pocket.

If anyone is interested in some cheap Wahoo Powerlink pedals this is a good deal. Nearly $400 off!

Hammerhead has a sale on their Karoo 2 right now.

Reduced from $639 down to $415 - 35% discount (free shipping), which is pretty good. It also has a 45 day trial period where you can return it at no cost 9including free return postage) for a full refund if you are not happy with it.

https://www.au.hammerhead.io/

I watched a bunch of reviews and the only real downside appears to be the battery life being less than the likes of Bryton s800 and Garmin 1040.

I just bought one, and they sent me a Refer-a-Friend link that I can share. If the person (shared to) buys one then the person who referred (me) gets $25, and the person referred to (another person) gets a free Hammerhead HRM. So if anyone is interested in buying one, let me know since it could be a win-win.

Still $85 more than the Karoo 2 currently and a much smaller screen (and only 20% of the pixels in K2 screen - 246x322 vs 480x800), but the 830 does get better battery life.

Just got me thinking, but Pushys/Wiggle are UK based? So wonder if you might be able to grab some bargains on summer/winter gear as they change season.

Edit: Clarified link behaviour.

This is a stupidly good price - if you can find one in stock

Bunnings bicycle repair stand - $32.49

https://www.bunnings.com.au/handy-stora ... d_p0074305

I bought one of these 3 years ago in Bunnings for about $70-80 and it works well, even for heavier alloy MTBs. I usually extend the legs out fully for stability - not like as shown in the photos.

Small audience, 99Bikes have cut the price on their Cube Cargo bikes, now they are excellent value ~$7300 for a 1000wh Bosch equipped bike. I absolutely love mine, if you are on the fence on getting a cargo bike, do it, I use mine way more than I expected when I bought it because they are so much fun.

Pushys are running out old Pearl Izumi stock at the moment. The Quest jerseys are half price or better - short sleeve at $40, long sleeve winter jerseys $60 I think. Quest is the "club fit" Pearl Izumi range and being Pearl Izumi is top quality. Sizes are limited in some colours but the yellow fluoro has all sizes still. Most of the other jerseys have either S, M or XXL left.

Aldi has their bike special buys coming up on 2nd September (10 days time).

Bike stand (maintenance) $50 which should be pretty good for home maintenance. It looks the same as the Bunnings one I bought 3 years ago and it has been great.

Track pump $15

Toolbox $50 - I bought this when it was $40 and had about 42 pieces, now it is 12 piece, but might be good for some. Inflation + shrinkflation. I found the chain breaker pretty crap though.

Not so sure about the rest.

Bike stand is good. Do not touch the tool kit. I've seen tougher paper

If you have an Amex card, if you use it at 99 Bikes before 31/10 you will get a 20% cashback, up to $150. They have Garmins on sale at the moment for 25% off, so in effect you'd be getting roughly 40% off if you pay using Amex. You need to go to the Amex app on your phone or website first and add the 99 Bikes deal to your card.

Garmin currently have the Edge 540 Solar for $599 ($150 discount)

This is the same price as the non-solar version RRP ...... probably not a great deal as the Non Solar version is $499 at BikeBug
