Went to use the Pushys EX15 code as I wanted to get some new bars for the Slate, but in trying to check where they were measured, noticed that BB had them cheaper, even including the discount ($85 vs $70), so bought them there :D

Castelli Gabba 3 jerseys are $152 club price
https://www.99bikes.com.au/jersey-ss-ca ... black-sm-1

However, there is a code each month for club members to get $20 off when you spend $150.
This year it has been (LETSRIDE01/02/03) - this month's code expired on 26 March.
But if you wait until next month, you can get it for $132 delivered.
Sizes remaining are XXL and 3XL (but remember you have to upsize for Castelli)
Oh, and it's "light black" colour

I think you would be better off finding an Aldi MTB which IMO would be much better value. Stores seem to still have them in stock

I assume you are not talking about the recent, sub $100 Aldi Mountain bike, Denwol?

Noobie question, could I take a MTB and just switch the wheels for road tires and basically just use them as a road bike.

Yes. Switch tyres for slicks around 1.5" and that will do you. Cheap option.
But it will be ~ 1kg heavier due to the suspension forks.Add more weight if it has rear suspension.

Another factor to consider is cheap suspension may not have 'lock out' that stops suspension movement caused by peddling that uses energy ...

I did that with my Diamondback MTB for a while before I bought my first touring bike....I just bought some really good road tyres for it....made a big difference. They can make a very good commuter if they're set up right.

Now I'm looking at going back to a decent MTB tyres and use the bike for what it's supposed to be.....

It's a non- disc brake model bike but I don't ride that fast anymore...so I ain't gonna hit something that hard :lol:

Tried to get this in conjunction with the lights discount but the checkout will give you one or the other - not both.

In Pushy's coupon code t&c stated
Every coupon can only be used once per customer and only one coupon per order will be accepted.

Coupon codes are only valid for a single transaction, and may not be used in conjunction with any other discounts we offer.

Yeah, was going to buy some lights with the Pushys 15% discount, but only ~$80 worth. Since I couldnt combine with the free shipping, I will buy elsewhere...

Pretty good deals on a few models of glasses and some cycling jerseys (where the size is available) at Siroko
In Euro - Road cycling K3 glasses down from 82 Euro to 20 / 25 / 30 or 35 Euro depending on the model. Also, additional lenses also have reduced prices.

I think it is a 24 hour sale.. so keep an eye on the time.

Yes, but you'll still be lugging 15kg+ of steel with flat bars and MTB gearing. Like putting a wrestler in ballet shoes.

It's not a 24hr sale but as it shown that if you buy it before that time and it will be at your door on that date.

Bought 3 sunnies with photochromic lenses last Friday morning and it arrived at my door today at 2.23pm from Spain by DHL courier.
That was quick.

Interested what the photochromic sunnies are like bunged knee. I love my Oakley photochromics. Would take a lot for me to swap

^^ Haven't worn it on ride yet.
And it was a bugger to change the lens until I read the instructions and got it in frame.
Will check it out tomorrow to test check it as I never used the photochromic lens on rides yet.
Pic below of blue lens been taken out of frame when it was in.

I have some on the way but agree on the Oakleys. You don't actually notice the photochromatic effect but what is perceivable is the comparison with other lenses and sunnies that are poorer quality. The longer the ride, the more I notice when eyewear is inferior.

SRAM eTap HRD Post Mount WiFli Shift/Brake kit for $999 USD:

Seems quite a good price, even with the current rotten exchange rate.
