2 conti 4000's for $73 after discount
2 vittoria corsa G+ cottons for $89 after discount... (these are $89-$110 each locally)

Code is TYRES20

Awesome great timing for the sale. Recently caught a nail in my Vittoria Corsa Tubular.

First time ordering from Ribble, what is their typical ETA on shipping? Custom charges?

604CEFIRO 08-18-2016 02:42 PM

the free shipping takes about 10 business days. i never got duty taxes from ribble (fingers crossed knock on wood)

[edit] for KASK fans... 20% off an already low retail price on their Mojito, Vertigo, and Protone helmets. Wish they had my color and size in the Protone... spotted this a day or two too late

[edit 2]

WOOP WOOP... this morning they didn't have the Black/white Protone in medium, but 1 popped up just now and snagged it. Woot woooooo :)

azncreationz 08-18-2016 03:18 PM

^ I went ahead and ordered one as well. Hopefully no duty/taxes!!

604CEFIRO 08-18-2016 03:22 PM

Even if there is duties and taxes, you'll be WELL ahead...

Locally its $365+12% = $408, and around the same price everywhere I've seen online.

We just snagged it up for $253 all in shipped free... damn i feel like i got a rippin deal LOL...

Been on a tear the last 2 days with rapha sale (bought jeans at 50% off), probikekit sale (lezyne cnc digital pump, KMC X10SL chain), ribble sale (protone helmet), and raceview cycles (vittoria G+ tires)

604CEFIRO 08-18-2016 09:19 PM

^sales been on for a week new items go on there every few days.

Price drop is coming probably next week and usually drops twice in 3 weeks. Buy ur items now, if price drops buy again and just return the first order, it's free DHL both ways. Buy extra sizes to try on and just return stuff that doesn't fit. I'll drop like $1500 then return like $1200 in stuff hahaha

2 Co2
1 multi tool (very minimal), so i am going to bring a chain tool
extra chain link

Doubl3_H 08-20-2016 07:06 PM

Question

Should I go for hydraulic disc brakes or just clamp brakes?

Thanks

hydraulic brakes is little heavier and cost a bit more compare with caliper brakes but it offer slightly shorter braking distance and more consistent in rain

conventional brakes are good enough if you are doing city and hill climbs

Derek_N84 08-22-2016 08:18 AM

if anyone is currently tire shopping, pro bike kit is having a discount on multiples

10% if you buy 2 "tire2"
15% if you buy 4 "tire4"

the promotion doesn't cover twin packs though

604CEFIRO 08-22-2016 08:54 AM

Check RIBBLE first... as their sale price is way better. Ends tonight.

Example//

PBK - GP 4000s size 25c x (2) = $96.98 - $4.84 discount = $92.14

RIBBLE - GP 4000s size 25c x (2) = $81.17 - $16.23 = $73.34

Sounds about right. Since I'm a worrywart, i'll typically bring 3 tubes myself. Do you plan on riding there and back in one day?

UFO 08-22-2016 11:37 AM

Bus fare. If you're unlucky enough to flat 3 times in a ride, its time to call a day.

Patching is not hard, I prefer a traditional patch kit over carrying 1 or 2 extra tubes myself. There's the self adhesive stick on patches that are even eaiser to use, but I've had mixed luck with those. If I'm going to patch a tube I'll make sure its done right.

For a longer trip a patch kit can easily fix 10 flats. Carry a pump instead of CO2, it may take longer but you'll have peace of mind not running out of CO2.

6793026 08-22-2016 02:07 PM

^thanks guys..
We planned on doing whistler in 1 day (both ways). Turned out it was pouring rain like crazy with thunder and we had to call it off when we were about to head back.

I did carry 2 tubes and 2 CO2 and you're right, it did cross my mind on having a pump. Then again, if u have 3 punctures and you are with buddies and you're low on patches etc, you might as well call it a day to say let's go home.

tomatogunk 08-22-2016 05:35 PM

Just got rid of my Kurt Kinetic to make room for a Wahoo Kickr. If anyone here is selling, knows of anyone, or came across a deal on one, please keep me in mind

6793026 08-23-2016 07:56 AM

know anyone where I can purchase these for cheap?

Clif Shot Shot Bloks Fast Pak? I mean aside from MEC; some has caffeine in them, and some don't (equivalent to 1 or 1/2 cup of coffee)

http://www.shesugar.com/wp-content/u...Shot-Bloks.jpg

lowside67 08-23-2016 09:10 AM

Also wondering. I have been buying them at MEC, at $2.55 per they are much cheaper than gels (they are basically = 2 gels) and I prefer eating them.

Mark

6793026 08-24-2016 10:17 AM

Anyone been up to Baker before? Do i need to wear a fleece vest or not?

MEC is basically the cheapest for the Shot Bloks at $2.55 each. If you buy 12, then you get 10% off, which makes it $2.29 each.
2nd cheapest is Running Room selling at $42.99 for 18 (1 box).
You might get lucky at REI in the States if it's on sale as one of their 'Flavours of the week' specials, but with the exchange nowadays, might not be cheaper.

604CEFIRO 08-24-2016 08:49 PM

Rule number 101: Under no circumstance shall one don a fleece vest while cycling on a race bike. Or any bike. Or at any time, really...
