Their paper catalogues are usually available Wednesday, for the following Wednesday and Saturday week. Being available on Tuesday is unusual.

Their online display is only for the forthcoming 2 sales... and only gets updated a day or two after the sale expires. The paper one gives more warning, if you care to get one.

Where? I'm REALLY interested to know....

If you're in the market for the fancy shimano s-phyres, Evans has the fluoro greens 78 odd bucks cheaper than anyone in Aus that i can find.

Too bad I want black and feel compelled to support aus.

Picked up the light set - 1000 lumens (AT) $30 is sensational value. I don't have a light meter, but the front light is certainly brighter than my Lezyne 550 lumen, and the rear on full brightness is pretty bright as well. But something weird is going on with the front light - the switch works just once, then fails. Plug it in to the charger, and it will work once more, then fail again. I don't know whether I have a dud or something more fundamental wrong with the PCB controller. I'll return and exchange tomorrow.

Just picked up a couple of pairs of 26" mtb tires from reid for 5 bucks a piece. Got 2 pairs to make the 8 dollar shipping worthwhile. One pair i have a use for the other pair gets tossed above the dunny in the garage for Ron.
