We’ve got six great deals for you today from Tweeks Cycles, with bargain prices on shoes, tyres, wheels, Muc-Off cleaner and a classic winter jersey.
Tweeks has knocked off as much as 50 percent from these items, and with autumn not very far away, this is a great opportunity to pick up poor-weather essentials or grab a bargain on some shoes for the tail end of the good weather and its return next spring.
Happy shopping!
A mere fifty quid is an absolute steal for road shoes with these features. The sole is reinforced with carbon fibre for light weight and rigidity and there’s a micrometric ratchet buckle closure to make it easy to get the tension and fit across your foot just right.
Other features include Northwave’s Airflow system which routes fresh air to your feet through vents in the sole, and compatibility with both three-bolt Look-style cleats and two-bolt SPD cleats.
This is version 2.0 of the jersey that started a winter riding revolution, Castelli’s classic Gabba. It has competitors now, but Castelli kept it at the head of the race with the addition of a storm flap under the zip in this incarnation.
It still has an aero fit, reflective piping on the three pockets, full-length zip, high collar and gripper hem, as well as the extended rear bum flap to keep the spray off.
After years of dominance by ratchet and Velcro shoe closures, laces came roaring back when Giro launched its Empire shoes. Laces are light, and provide very precise fine-tuning of the tension over your foot, qualities that had been lost in the race to high-tech alternatives.
The Empire ACC shoes feature a one-piece upper made from Evofibre breathable microfibre and an Easton EC90 ACC carbon fibre outsole.
The wheels that complement Shimano’s number two groupset have established a solid reputation for performance and reliability; at this price you can afford to use them as winter training wheels, a role for which they’re ideally suited.
At 1640g/pr they’re a decent weight, but not flimsy. That’s partly because they have a steel freehub body, which won’t be damaged by sprockets dogging in to it. The WH-6800s also boast Shimano’s almost-tool-free bearing adjustment, which can be tweaked with just an Allen key.
Perennially popular for its combination of puncture resistance, low weight and fast rolling, Conti’s GP 4 Season is a great year-round choice. If you’re looking toward the end of summer and hanging up your good-weather tyres for a few months, here’s a chance to grab a pair for a very reasonable price.
They’re available in 23mm, 25mm and 28mm widths at this price, so if you’ve been considering going to fatter rubber, now’s your chance.
Muc-off bike cleaner is something of an institution, one that changed bike cleaning forever thanks to its convenient, grime busting prowess. This latest incarnation has been dubbed Nano-Tech Bike Cleaner, and has a beefed-up formula and improved trigger spray.
If you’re diligent about keeping your bike clean, then it’s worth buying in bulk, which makes this two-litre pack a bit of a bargain.
Wait - I've got it! It's actually an accessible design - for cyclists without arms. Hey presto, you can be in the drops using only your feet!
Why leave yourself open to the problem in the first place? No windows, no draughty windows.
Yup - although as a more "distributed" / low cost kind of "good" (which the public purse pays towards) cycling will likely always be susceptible to...
I'm sure they'd ask Lime to do that too. Come and collect your bikes and my neighbour - they're in pieces.
Ireland seems to have a lot of problems with their cycle lanes… Almost as many as England
Fair point - I was restricting myself to pedal bikes. As I've never spent that kind of money on anything though (mortgage doesn't count), it's kind...
And finally: I wonder how many of the "more than 3,000" signatures on that petition are actually locals, who live or work there (and are not just...
Another book suggestion - I can highly recommend "Lost Summers and Half-Forgotten Afternoons: A Mint Sauce collection" - a beautifully presented...
If only!
I think you're missing an opportunity to pack even more tech into it - add accelerometers that can detect whether they're pedalling or stepping....
