Get winter-ready: cycling deals on CX bikes, gloves, & tyres

The clocks went back and the weather's on the turn. That can only mean one thing: it's time to make sure you're ready to ride through the winter.

Lucky for you, the DealCatcher is here to give you a helping hand, and he's found some deals that will make cycling through the rain, wind, and snow significantly easier.

First up is a cyclo-cross bike from Ridley. Hargroves have just slashed the price of the X-bow 10, which comes with disc brakes, 32mm tyres, and will see you through the mud and snow, by 33%.

Secondly, if you're not thinking of upgrading to a cyclo-cross bike for the poor weather, you can at least ready your road bike for adverse conditions by upgrading to a set of tyres that can handle the wet.

Wiggle are offering Continental Grand Prix 4 Season tyres at a whopping 42% discount.

Finally, over at Evans, you can get your hands on and in a pair of winter gloves for 60% less than retail price. You can read more about the padded and waterproof Louis Garneau numbers at the bottom of this piece.
