Spotted a special - Post it in here!

[moreegolfer]

Aren't there warranty issues with Garmin units bought outside of Australia?

If it stuffs up you need to send it back to the uk. Personally I can deal with that to save a few hundred (garmin 610).

I had an issue, sent my 500 back to Wiggle and they sent me a new unit. Clean and easy just takes a little while for postage both ways.

It isn't exactly on special but Bike24 have the Feedback Sports Pro Elite work stand for a decent price. 210 Euros.

http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;n ... 87;mid=195

Take the 20% VAT off, add on the 30 euros to ship it and the foreign currency conversion fee and I finished up paying $265.

The best local price I found/was given for the same thing was just shy of $400 delivered. Even the UK and US mobs could only get as close as $340 delivered with most much closer to the local retail.

The sliding euro could provide some useful prices in the sorter term...

Two wiggle specials that have caught my eye:

Charge Spoon Saddle with Cromo Rails : £17.49

I have a charge spoon saddle and it is my favourite saddle - ranks extremely well against the bigger brands for a fraction of the price



Knog N.E.R.D. 5 Function Wireless Cycle Computer: £26.59

Not really for the road cyclists - but a fun cycle computer that is nice for commuting and has the silicon strap to take on and off.

At $39, it'd be a good stand for washing bikes.

You're a funny guy. Ever heard of a star picket and a few dead tyre tubes?

Local business will see this and probably say "I thought so". Even Wiggle are saying they have done a deal with the devil (Didi Senft).



Coincides with a Wiggle deal of course - 10% off everything from 28.06 - 02.07.2012 to mark the start of the Tour de France.

"Wiggle is currently shipping free to Australia as part of its Europe Free Delivery Promotion. Yes, it says Europe but some other countries get a look in as well (inc Australia). Wiggle normally offer free shipping to Austrlia but this time there is no minimum spend. This promo expires August 8th.

And until July 2nd, you can apply the 10% off Tour de France code EXTRA10 to almost any item, again with no min spend. If you are spending more, there may be better codes to use (see http://www.wiggle.co.uk/h/option/Vouchers )

Both offers confirmed as working as of time of posting."

Would these stands be fine to use as permanent storage over a long term? i.e would it be fine for me to hang my bike on this whenever I'm not riding? Or will they cause some stress points on the frame?

[petal665]

If that causes stress points on your frame then I wouldn't be riding it on the road.

[Mulger bill]

What type of frame?

[ezzy]

I think this is a good price.

an aluminium frame

[Mulger bill]

Shouldn't be a problem then.

[Peacewise]

Quite a bit of campagnolo gear at half price or thereabouts at chainreaction.

I bought 14 pairs of Shimano R106 shoes from Cell bikes who had them on sale for $9.90 each. Thought I had the bargain of the century. However they just sent me an email saying it was an error and they have cancelled my order, giving me a $10 voucher for my troubles.

Who can I contact about getting my order enforced? Ministry of Fair Trading? I have screen shots of the advertised product and my final order confirmation.

[gururug]

The most that will happen is that they are slapped on the wrist and you spend a few hours of your time to be again told that it was an error.

There are provisions which allow traders to make mistakes and only if a shop continually uses poor practices ( i.e. happens to 20 more cell customers ) do regulatory bodies take action against retailers which will result in fines for them and not retrospective order resolution.

This does look like an honest mistake. Probably had 1 pair, and their systems/staff failed on this item.

Well they've taken my money and not refunded it yet.. they should just honour the sale.

[Purt]

Looks like it was meant to be $99.

Personally I'd be happy with the $10, every shop that has marked prices wrong before for me has just refunded without even an email to say my order has been cancelled.
