30% off Mavic Cosmic Carbon SLE 013 Road Wheelset 2015
WAS £1290.00 | NOW £899.99

Originally on the more pricey side of the wheelset spectrum, these Mavic Cosmic Carbon SLE wheels have seen a massive discount which makes them palatably affordable, don't you think?

They offer a fantastic balance of aerodynamism and stiffness without sacrificing any of their lightweight nature.

The wheels also feature extra light spokes, and smooth hubs to help both the aerodynamics and the weight, as well as clincher ready rim technology.

We've reviewed two pairs of Mavic Cosmic wheels before, check 'em out below.

40% off Lezyne Mega Drive Loaded Y8 Front Light
WAS £199.99 | NOW 119.99

It's dark, right? Well it's going to carry on getting darker over the next few weeks.

If you're still not adequately equipped for the encroaching evenings, you really won't find a more suitable solution for your visibility woes.

63% off Shimano Performance WB Bib Tights
WAS £79.99 | NOW £29.99

While we can see it's getting dark, there have been times over the last few weeks when we haven't really been able to tell how cold it's going to get over the next few months.

Your bib shorts aren't going to be able to cut it soon. You're gunna need to invest in a pair of knee warmers, or a pair of bib tights if you want to remain comfortable.

These Shimano Bib Tights are a stunning bargain. It's worth noting that these bibs don't come with a pad, so if you're looking for a bit more comfort, either take a pad out of one of your pairs of bib shorts, or invest in another.

35% off Adidas Infinity Warm Knee Warmers
WAS £40.00 | NOW £25.99

Finally, as an alternative to bib tights, knee warmers can be a quick cheap fix to the cold weather. They're also more adaptable for the autumnal or springy conditions when you're not entirely sure whether you're going to need the extra protection or not.
