With an RRP of £699.99, this is a pretty stonking deal. The trainer is power-accurate to a claimed +/-2.5%, has a max power ceiling of 2,500 watts and it will connect up with all your fave virtual riding apps. The price is down to what most ‘dumb’ trainers would have cost a couple of years ago, so if you’re in the market for a trainer and don’t want to spend too big, this is a bit of a steal.

Don’t get too excited, but there are some great deals on Allen keys over at Amazon! While it might not be the sexiest product category, if you’re after some decent hex keys that will do the job and don’t quite have the budget for a lovely Silca or Unior set, this is a very good deal. 

You get 15 metric and 15 imperial keys, and the metric ones cover pretty much every size you’ll find on a modern bike… unless it’s a star-shape bolt you need to loosen or tighten, for which you can pick up Draper’s 7-piece set for just £5.25. You’ll never have to worry about not having the right size hex key again!

The most ridiculous Black Friday offer ever? LifeLine TT-01 Turbo Trainer down to £14.99, that's 85% off!

lifeline magnetic turbo trainer (Image Credit: Farrelly Atkinson)

While it’s now common knowledge that a lot of Black Friday discounts aren’t actually the absolute best offers you can get all year* (a 2021 Which? study shockingly found that 98% of products on Black Friday offers were cheaper or the same price at other times of the year), we’re fairly confident that Wiggle and Chain Reaction haven’t sold a whole turbo trainer for the price of a couple of London pints before. In fact we’ve never seen a turbo this cheap, it’s outrageously cheap.

With the original RRP at £99.99, this trainer still had plenty of satisfied customers and a couple of road.cc staffers have vouched for it on our internal Skype chat. It’s very much analogue with six levels of magnetic resistance – and it won’t do any of that Zwift or disc brake nonsense – but if you do most of your riding outside and just need something to stick your (rim brake) bike in for the odd spin or car park warm-up, this is a ridiculously good deal. You could even do some Zwifting with a Bluetooth sensor; add a fan and a basic mat, and you could start your indoor training journey for under 50 quid. 

Yes Wiggle and Chain Reaction Cycles are in financial hot water, but you’re probably not too concerned about the warranty at this price. If in doubt though, buy on credit card… 

Get the LifeLine TT-01 Turbo Trainer at Wiggle for a silly £14.99

Or at Chain Reaction, for the same daft cheap price of £14.99

* We check prices pretty regularly and do our very best not to post deals if we’ve seen it cheaper at another time of the year. If we’re wrong about any of the deals we’ve posted, let us know and we’ll bin it!

More Wiggle bargains: annoy Rules bigots with a Topeak Aero Wedge from just £9

Topeak Aero Wedge Pack

Yes it might put you in breach of Rule #31, but one of these handy aero wedges from Topeakwill free up pocket space for extra snacks without ruining the lines of your bike too much.

While we doubt it’s going to shave you any watts, this seat pack is designed to fit right under your saddle and out of the wind, hence the aero moniker. There’s also a reflective strip and a loop for attaching a rear bike light. 

The large is sold out, but road.cc staffers confirm the medium will fit two tubes, a small mini pump and a multi-tool, and the small at least one tube plus a CO2 kit and multi-tool. Grab one from just £9.

Annnd even more from Wiggle: Vitus ZX-1 with SRAM Rival electric shifting down to just £1,999.99, Orro Gold Evo 11-speed down to £959.99, Prime carbon wheels from £299.99

Vitus ZX-1 Rival

The bargains keep on coming at Wiggle, and even though bike prices seem to have been rising and rising in recent years, this huge deal on the Vitus ZX-1 Evo with SRAM Rival 12-speed electronic shifting is a blast from the past, even if the spec isn’t.

We gave the Ultegra Di2 model a 9/10 and a Recommends award in 2021, and that was at the RRP of £3,999.99 – this one has shallower wheels, but at half the price and with an extra cog via the SRAM Rival groupset, it’s an absolute steal at two grand. All sizes are still in stock except for the Large.

If your budget is half of this, then you can’t go wrong with the Orro Gold Evo 7000-FSA R800 road bike, down to £959.99 and the best price we’ve seen this bike so far. 

It’s rare you get a full carbon frame and 11-speed for under a grand nowadays, and this bike only really compromises on the chainset and brakes, which are provided by FSA and Tektro respectively. This bike was also nominated for our Sportive and Endurance Bike of the Year award in 2019/20, and would make a fine introduction to carbon road bikes, or even a luxury winter bike.

And finally… carbon wheels for under 300 quid? The  dependable Prime Doyenne wheels with a 50mm depth are half price at £299.99, and would make a great upgrade for your rim brake road bike. The internal width is 20.3mm, so they should take 28mm tyres if your bike will quite comfortably. 

Get the Prime Doyenne rim brake carbon wheels for just £299.99

As we’ve already alluded to, Wiggle had to call in administrators a few weeks back, but as far as we know they’re trading as normal. If in doubt, buy on a credit card or via PayPal.

New bike day? Wilier GTR Team 105 for £1,099 with Merlin, down from £1,999

Black Friday new bike day? Merlin Cycles have an almost half price offer on the Wilier GTR Team 105 road bike, reduced to £1,099 from £1,999. We’ve reviewed a previous model of this one, tech editor Mat finding it a “swift and smooth ride for those who want an endurance bike with a racing slant”.

For just a touch over a grand you’d be getting a full carbon frame and Shimano 105 11-speed throughout. Sure you might eventually want to upgrade the wheels and finishing kit, but for the Black Friday price you’d have few complaints.

We were impressed enough to give the Topeak Smart D2 Guage a 9/10 rating a couple of years ago, the price on Amazon now down to £20.99.

As Simon reported back from his review: “It fits both Presta and Schrader valves, gives live readings of changing pressures and will last months, if not years, on a single battery. There’s little not to like – it’s the perfect antidote to analogue track pump readings that are often inaccurate and hard to see.”

Welcome to the Cyber Monday live blog!

Oh gawd, it’s Cyber Monday! Yep, after a not exactly hectic but deal-laden Black Friday (or should that be Black November? It’s seemed that way this year) we’re now getting to the stage where the final reductions are made on sale stuff before 2024 bikes and cycling gear hit the shelves proper. Before the Christmas sales that is, and Boxing Day ones, and the January sales etc etc…

There is of course no need to spend. The world won’t stop spinning and your bank balance will surely thank you. However, at the same time we can’t deny there are more than a few bargains to be had if you’re in the market for something new, or want a head start on buying Christmas presents for your cycling-mad friends or relatives.

Despite our reservations about going too Black Friday/Cyber Monday crazy, we wouldn’t be doing our job as a cycling website if we weren’t telling you about the best places to buy kit, tech, bikes and more cycling stuff worth having at great prices. If the deals we’ve posted aren’t genuinely the best around and cheaper than they are at other times of the year, we won’t run them. If you find anything we’ve posted for less, let us know and we’ll edit or remove the post. 

We’ve had a quick scan of the deals we posted on this blog on Friday, and pretty much all of them are still live with the exception of a few sizes of the reduced bikes now out of stock. We’ll find a few more Cyber Monday deals for you today as well, enjoy… 

* You probably guessed, but we have to tell you: we may earn affiliate commission from some of the links you click on this page. Enjoy!

    Anyone know anything about

    Anyone know anything about the xplova noza V? Whilst there are a handful of media and customer reviews of the noza S, can’t find anything at all on the noza V. 

    Externally it looks completely different to the noza S although unclear how different the internals are. I think the V is newer than the S although it’s unclear if the V is a replacement (making the S obsolete) or if the V is supposed to fit a different niche. On paper, the V has marginally better accuracy (2% rather than 2.5%) although a lighter flywheel (3.4kg rather than 5.9kg) and lower maximum power rating (2,200 W rather than 2,500W). 

    But I don’t really care about the stats (no chance of bothering the maximum power!) – just want something that works easily and reliably. I like the look of the folding legs on the V for storage, and the adjustable feet (the floor of my garage isn’t quite level), and if it also improves on some of the minor quibbles reviewers have had with the S, then that can only be a good thing. 

    (and yes, I know there is a risk of buying from Wiggle right now – hopefully mitigated to some extent by the fact that firmware support seems to be offered directly by Xplova and not dependent on Wiggle’s continued existence).

    Annoyingly, that Draper allen

    Annoyingly, that Draper allen key set doesn’t include the elusive 3.5mm used on Campag delta brakes. Still, it does have the 7mm for some Mavic stems and C-Record crank extractors; plus the 5.5mm for some old seat clamp bolts. This is why my toolkit needs so many otherwise-obselete tools and trinkets.

    Re Wiggle / “If in doubt, buy

    Re Wiggle / “If in doubt, buy on a credit card or via PayPal.”

    Paying with a credit card only helps for items costing >£100 (as that is when the additional legal protection from S75 kicks in); for items below that you may still have some protection via “chargeback” whether you pay with a credit or a debit card. So for the £14.99 turbo trainer, there’s no benefit in using a credit card.

    Paying with PayPal complicates the matter. On the one hand, PayPal themselves offer their own “Buyer Protection”. On the other hand, paying with PayPal can be seen to break the direct link between your purchase and the trader (i.e. Wiggle) and may therefore prevent you from using the protection offered by your bank/credit card provider itself. 

    MSE is a good source of further info:

Interesting counterpoint to the 'hire bike menace' narrative (obviously with the caveat that the report authors have a vested interest in selling the benefits, but...) Appears hire bike schemes go some way to addressing the cycling gender imbalance and, given the point about parking immediately outside the destination, dockless schemes particularly so. https://micromobilitybiz.com/forest-report-finds-shared-e-bikes-are-helping-close-london-cycling-gender-gap/

@chrisonabike True, things went back to normal once the pandemic was over. In this case, however the problems are still ongoing, and aren't likely to be resolved in the near future. If anything, they're going to get worse. Food shortages are predicted because of the effect that the heatwave has had on crops. This is bound to push prices up. The Straits of Hormuz aren't likely to reopen anytime soon and the strategic oil reserves are running low. Russia is having to import petrol because its own refineries have been badly hit, so that's even more competition for an even more scarce resource. I think that more and more people are going to see cycling as a way of cutting household bills.

I think if "grown up" cyclists * are quibbling about ASLs we've very much missed the road safety point anyway. (Not to mention the wider "better transport choices" picture). ASLs are poor-to-useless "cycling infra", even for their design intent. If the idea is "for less confident cyclists" then a design that requires that you re-position in front of the motor traffic - waiting to accelerate - seems unhelpful. Of course they're only designed to help when traffic is stopped, and you can reach the front in time and if vehicles aren't already occupying them. As we're noting here drivers frequently ignore them - whether that be deliberate, a lack of road craft, because they were concentrating on following the vehicle in front, or because the paint has rubbed off. * Aside: shouldn't cycling also be safe and accessible for kids? Or should they only be allowed to do this when accompanied by sufficient qualified adults? Or be limited to parks and otherwise being driven around by their carers? Perhaps there is another way...?

Hi Bungle, I saw you follow-up comment. I can't imaging there's a tolerance of 4 seconds on camera enforced lights, seems an odd decision - an offence is committed if a vehicle starts crossing on a red, any tolerance is discretionary. There does seem to be some odd thinking about 'advanced stop lines' where the rules relating to them are identical to a regular stop line, as explained correctly elsewhere in the Highway Code. It does seem a regular offence. Where I live it doesn't help that some of them are very faint and disappear in rain.

@ktache Not sure he's totally ruled out of the worlds yet (though I think it would be best if he doesn't), normal recovery time is about eight weeks but surgery can halve that...depending on the nature of the break he could be just about fit to ride by the time of the elite men's race, but he'll have missed a lot of training. Hopefully his managers and team will persuade him to wait until Lombardia, if not just to knock it off for the rest of the year.

@Bungle_52 The Met told me a couple of years ago when rejecting a submission that they needed a clear three seconds of red visible before they would consider it for an RLJ prosecution. I pointed out to them that this meant that at 30 mph a driver could see a light change to red from 40 metres away and still get through without sanction, or 55 m if they accelerated to 40 as most do. They just replied "them's our rules..."

@Ben Graham I have just checked the footage from my report. The driver crosses the 1st stop line 4 seconds after the light turns red. All on camera from behind the vehicle. No further action. So I assume the margin is at least 4 seconds.

Oh, and active travel funding per head (in England at least) is laughable compared to other places. Plus it is delivered intermittently. It's more like a Blue Peter contest...

Yup, I see those opportunities being missed all the time in Edinburgh. When it gets really bad, dig it all up and put it back down again how it was. Contrast with what seems to happen in NL - when things are dug up the whole thing seems to get a "let's redo this according to the current standards" treatment. They even coordinate with the utilities, so that after a refurb the street isn't immediately dug up again because of leaking pipes / we suddenly realised the new estate being planned for round the corner will want broadband etc. Pros and cons of course - you may wait longer there for changes as smaller changes may be deferred until a major redo is due. (Though in the UK case you likely wouldn't get them at all...) It seems we "can't have nice things" in the UK in part because a) we have greater motor traffic speeds/volumes spead across "streets" / within urban areas b) the funding and organisational responsibility differs. Are we in the "Sam Vimes boots" territory (being too poor to afford better products which not only save money over time but actually work)? There is long term money pressure on LAs and it seems that due to poor construction and maintenance we have to regularly pour money into (pot-)holes in the road. And it seems there's no budget to check up on or enforce adequate standards from utilities work or even private building.
