Great cycling deals on Pinnacle, BTwin, and Boardman

The DealCatcher's got a disc break adventure bike, a windstopping base layer, and Boardman bibs today...

So, with the UCI Cyclocross World Championships, and all the motordoping drama that came with it, cyclocross season came to an end.

Well, it feels like it came to something of a premature end, especially if you live in a country like the UK where the weather conditions suit 'cross racing almost all year round.

With that in mind, it's well worth exploring the end of season cyclocross bike sales, after all, there are plenty of CX bikes that work fantastically as foul weather commuters.

The one the DealCatcher's picked up today doesn't quite fit that particular category of bike, but it's a stunning deal regardless.

 

Evans Cycles

25% off Pinnacle Arkose Singlespeed Adventure Road Bikes
WAS £800.00 | NOW £600.00

This is an unusual one to offer you roadies. The Pinnacle Arkose Singlespeed has been dubbed a road bike, it looks like a road bike, but it’s a singlespeed cyclocross adventure bike extraordinaire that sits quite close to its mountain bike cousins

Big 40c WTB Nano Comp tyres hang from a full carbon tapered fork, a 38T chain ring and an Andel 17T Sproket cassette will keep you moving, and the frame upon which all of this action takes place is the same one that we gave 8/10 to when we reviewed the Arkose 2 cyclo-cross bike back in May 2014.

All round, for this price, you’ll struggle to find a better machine to fulfill your springtime adventure pangs.

Halfords

65% off Boardman Women Bib Shorts
WAS £34.99 | NOW £12.00

oardman - the brand, not the man - has recently announced a new range of affordable cycling clothing.

At the same time Boardman - again, the brand - has slashed the prices of their current range of cycling kit over at Halfords.

Arguably the best deal amongst this slew of bargains are the Boardman Women’s Bib Shorts. At a 65% discount you’ll be getting a mid range, comfortable pair of cycling shorts for the unbelievable price of £12.

The high end Coolmax chamois pad along with the Qwik-Dri fabric and silicone grippers will keep you comfortable, while the reflective details will help keep you seen and hopefully safe.

If you missed last week’s Decathlon DealCatcher takeover, don’t worry. All of those deals are still available, and all you have to do to take advantage of them is follow the link below.

This baselayer slipped through the net last Thursday and didn’t make it to the final cut for the takeover. That’s not to say it’s not a fantastic deal, beccause it is.

How do we know? Well, we reviewed it a couple of years back. Our man Stuart Kerton called it comfortable and well-fitting.

I've got an Arkose SS and rate it highly for quick blasts mixing road and off-road.  The TRP Hylex hydro brakes are a particular highlight.  I've also converted a pair of Kinesis CX Disc wheels with a Velo Solo spacer kit and have various rear SS cogs in different tooth configurations to suit the route.  The lighter wheels (running tubeless) make the bike great fun off road, but think the stock wheels whilst heavy are also tubeless compatible rims.  The paint scheme is pretty marmite, but that's part of the appeal for me!

Evans also sorted me out with a replacement gear hangar and cable guides so may convert to a 1x10/11 set up in the future.  The low maintenance of running it single speed with hydro discs is keeping it fun for now though...
