Hi thomashouseman,
No mate, these go on an axle across the vans wheels and have a remote controlled motor that squeezes in against the tyre for traction.Great for backing up as in my case a narrow drive with only 140 m each side to maneuver. I even have to pull the mirrors in to the car.

someone posted a deal for ortlieb panniers on ozbargain

i'm really skeptical about this, very low feedback ebay seller. what are the chances of these being knockoffs? $200 is a reasonable price, a small saving over the usual suspects.

If Pushys have stock, similar price and current $20 off "spring20" until 11pm EST tonight puts it below the ebay above.

even better, they do have stock of the colour i want, and i needed something else too. missed that code, cheers!

Agree. I only found out tonight from some of the other club members. I bought my S5 from him less than 6 months ago.

DSE have the Magellan Cyclo 500 today for $145.30 online only (free to click-collect). No ANT+ nor bar mount for the 500, they have bounced around with prices and $-off promo codes daily. Tuesday some early viewers got it for $117 or something. It was easy getting the 500 from DSE online to pickup within a few hours today.

As for the Cyclo 505 from HN Online, first time also with them, finally after a week of difficulties got the Magellan Cyclo 505 for $172.

Both just charged now to figure out the firmware situation and how to use them, if my Mio Alpha BLE wrist heartrate monitor will pair up, what new speed/cadence sensor to get etc. etc. Fun times =P

I just picked up a Cyclo 505 from HN today, $172. Will also grab the heart rate monitor as well. Too good a deal to say no too. Will see how I go with it when I get it

hi guys. how do you get a cyclo 505 for $172? I find it as $197 on the web page. thanks

oops. all sorted. found the harvey norman $25 code

Wiggle Codes???

A slight deviation off topic but how do these putes compare to the garmin edge 800? I've also got a couple of garmin odds and sods (HR and cadence). Will they pair with the 505? Seriously tempted.

Plus 1

Or Ribble codes?... (or Pushys codes that includes Sidi products). Nothing much around at the moment.

I think Cycling express still has AUGGIFT working until the end of the month and Pushys have barave for orders above $100 with some exclusions ... only until tomorrow...

I read a review comparing the 505 with the Garmin 1000, and the 505 comes out favourably. Common consensus seems to be that the 505 is superior in terms of maps, but the Garmin is better for data, but theres almost nothing in it. 505 will pair with Garmin heart rate and cadence meters no problems apparently, though I think the new magnetic cadence meters won't sync (though a firmware update is expected to overcome this, so far as I believe).

Brilliant - thank you for the info. Im going to give it a go

I just posted this e-bike sale notice/review ahead of the sale details.
viewtopic.php?f=51&t=86385" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Corratec 29er Diamond Trekking (listed as Bosch Active Line, but arrived with Bosch Performance Line motor).
Ironically it's on discount and higher spec'd than the "new" 2015 models that are like the other lower spec'd 2014 models.
Also a 48hr "SAVE50" code that you can mention in-store (as the clearance stock isn't online).

For the price I'm sure you can't go wrong. That's my thinking.

Looking forward to seeing how I go with mine.

Grabbed a box of 20 from them (They're around the corner from me and i was walking past). Any more and i'd be worried i'd be tempting the tyre gods.

^Min spend $30, excludes oversize items like bikes and frames
