The Spring Cleanout at Chain Reaction Cycles goes on, with new deals being added every week. There's a bit of an Italian theme to the deals that jumped out at us today, with gear from Castelli, 3T, Vittoria, and Diadora, plus more from Cube and Airwave too.
As well as great cycling gear at incredibly low prices chain Reaction Cycles is offering an extra incentive. Sp £75, which let's be honest is very likely, you'll get an extra ten pounds off CRC's Spring Cleanout sale items.
To claim that extra £10 off, just use the coupon code "CLEAN2017" at checkout.
The full selection can be found here, but we've picked out a few of our favourites below for you:
A thoroughly modern entry-level road bike, the Attain's lightweight aluminium frame will take 28mm tyres for a comfy ride, and has wide-range gears to get you up hills. Whether you're planning to head out into the country or dash to the office, it's an excdllent package for under £500.
Everyone needs a track pump. Airwave's Tornado has a large gauge, positioned high on the barrel for easy reading, and a smart head that fits both presta and Schrader valves, so it'll fit the whole family's bikes. The base and barrel are steel so it'll be durable too.
This minimalist windproof provides easily-packed protection for cold morning starts, and insurance against Spring showers. It rolls up into its own collar and fits closely so it won't slow you down much. Reflective patches keep you visible and vents help stop you overheating.

These 35mm-deep, wide-rimmed wheels look like an excellent option for your disc-braked gravel or endurance bike. They're adaptable between just about any sort of mounting, so if you switch to a bike that needs different axles in the future, you can take them with you.
Yes, they're nominally mountain bike shoes, but lots of riders like to use shoes like these for road riding too, because they allow you to get off and walk around in comfort, rather than clacking around a shop or cafe at constant fear of cleat-related tumble. If your preference is for more road-orientated three-bolt shoes, the equivalent road model is still only £99.99, down from £204.99.
With a lightly-patterned tread these 35mm tyres will give a handy turn of speed to a road-going gravel bike or hybrid. They have Vittoria's Double Shielding to fight the dreaded puncture fairies: two different protective layers between the tread and teh casing. The sidewalls are reflective too, which provides a handy bit of night-time visibility in headlights.

It's the mass that's the issue. Two people on a petrol powered scooter can really mess up a cyclist. Also the fact so many of the petrol scooters...

"Strumpjumper"...sounds like a euphemism for something else 🤔
The new RH tubes claim to solve that issue, but price and availability is a problem. I tried to get some to try out, but they went out of stock on...

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realise the Forest of Dean was inside the M25.
Those calipers arent the prettiest. Makes them look like Post-mount.
I'm all for a much more socialist approach to the sorts of things you mention, where there are clear market failures and a need for decent...
