In case you hadn't heard, Ribble Cycles are back on road.cc with some more incredible cycling deals. What's more, they're exclusive to road.cc readers!
We're fairly sure at this point if we were standing in front of you explaining things you'd be itching to push us out of the way so that you could sink your teeth into the deals.
But you're not, so we'll waffle on for a little longer.
The deals are as follows: Time's excellent Xpresso 4 pedals are available at a 29% discount; Look's Keo Blade 2 pedals get some 40% discount treatment; ITM's Aries Superlight Carbon Handlebars have seen a 41% discount; and all of the locks that you can find on Ribble Cycles' website can be yours for an extra 10% off their listed price.
The catch is, you've got to use the correct code for the correct product. Fortunately for you guys, we've listed the relevant code with each product.
No need to thank us.
First up are Time's impressive Xpresso 4 pedals. They've received an added road.cc saving of 10.4%, which is free money as far as you're concerned if you were in the market for a new pair of pedals anyway.
If you weren't in the market for a new pair of pedals but you think you could be swayed, here's what we know about the Xpresso 4s and our most recent Time Xpresso review of their 15 pedals below.
The Xpresso 4s look to make clipping in and out easy with a system that enables the engagement mechanism to pre-open automatically; the steel axle and composite body allow the package to stay as light as 224g for the pair, and the oversized pedal platform (700mm2) will do wonders for your power transfer and comfort.
Look's confusing naming strategy can sail over the heads of even the most up-to-date cyclist, but fortunately the quality within the French manufacturers pedals doesn't.
The Look Keo Blade 2 pedals weigh in at 288g for the pair, can be customised with three different clipping in resistance options, and have some serious aero features going on.
The integrated carbon blade spring allows for quick and secure clipping and unclipping while maintaining the pedals' aerodynamic integrity, while the whole outfit completely integrates all the bells and whistles into a sleep aerodynamic carbon shell.
The biggest saving and the biggest exclusive discount of the day (18.6%) comes in the shape of ITM's Aries Superlight Full Carbon Handlebars.
We've not reviewed this specific pair of bars, but we have reviewed a pair of ITM bars as recently as April. They - the X-One Carbon Handlebars - performed incredibly, receiving a road.cc 9/10, so we know ITM have the chops for quality handlebars.
These bars weigh in at 198g, use special EPS technology to perfectly distribute the carbon fibres and resin to make a completely strong and secure product, and absorb shocks fantastically.
If you're after a new lock to secure your bike you've come to the right place.
If you use a combination of our bike lock guide below and Ribble's full list of massively discounted bike locks, you're sure to come up with a winner!
