Reflective cycling gear specialists Proviz are having a big old sale for Black Friday, and a standout deal for us is the Nightrider jacket, down from £99.99 to £40 for Black Friday… £40 in all colours except for the one above that is, which is £59.99, but that’s still a very good deal!

The most ridiculous Black Friday offer ever? LifeLine TT-01 Turbo Trainer down to £14.99, that's 85% off!
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
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.
Get a Topeak Aero Wedge (micro or small) for £9 or the medium-sized Aero Wedge for a tenner
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
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.
Get the Vitus ZX-1 EVO Rival AXS road bike for £1,999.99
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.
Get the Orro Gold Evo 7000 for just £959.99
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.
Oh and it’s got rim brakes if you’re that way inclined. How retro… check out the 45% off here…
36% off a Topeak Smart D2 Digital Gauge
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.”
Huub goes half price (or less) across the website
Performance-focused triathlon and cycle wear manufacturer Huub has plenty of savings across the website this Black Friday. In short, you can get 50% off just about everything and then, if you’re in luck with the right sizes, even bigger savings on a few select extras such as the Aventus One Arm Warmers and Leg Warmers, and 55% off the Core 4 Bib Shorts.
And with the temperatures dropping into winter, Huub’s Peaks Cycling Thermal Bib Tights are available in all sizes for £64.99, 50% off the usual £129.99 price tag.
Save £14 on the Bryton Gardia R300L Rear Light from Amazon
Amazon is offering 13% off the Bryton Gardia R300l, a rear bike light with a difference.
Rivalling Garmin’s Varia, the R300L also offers users a radar that connects to your head unit and provides real-time information about traffic approaching from behind.
An impressive bit of kit at an even more impressive price. Read our review if you don’t believe us…
Up to 70% off Castelli kit at Wiggle
Get kitted out ready for winter and enjoy up to 70% off Castelli cycling kit from Wiggle.
You can save 45-50% on Castelli’s Perfetto ROS Light Jersey and Gabba ROS Jersey as well as 20% off the Entrata bib shorts, recently reviewed and earning an 8/10.
Save 59% on SRAM RED ETAP AXS 2X Groupset
Who would not want a new groupset at a bargain price… Well this SRAM RED ETAP AXS 2X D1 Electronic HRD FM Groupset is not perhaps cheap for everyone at £999, but it is 59% cheaper than it used to be (2,423) on Tredz. If you’re after converting your road bike to electronic shifting, now is your chance to do it with style.
Shop the SRAM RED ETAP AXS 2X D1 Electronic HRD FM Groupset here
40% off Lake CX403 road shoes
These Lake kicks got a four-star review from us, and are now on a good sale on Sigma Sports, down to £269 from £450 in price. There seem to still be plenty of sizes available too, so if you’re after new road cycling shoes, check them out.
Garmin Edge 130 Plus £119 at Halfords and Amazon
Finally something I can recommend personally. If you’re in the market for a great value GPS device, you can’t really go wrong with the Garmin Edge 130 Plus, a sentiment Rachael agreed with when she tested it for us. Her exact words were that it “does the necessary with minimal fuss”, and that sounds about right to me.
HGet the Garmin Edge 130 Plus for £119 at Halfords
Or grab it at Amazon, also for £119
And with that I’ll leave you with Jack and Suvi as I grab my own 130 and head out for a quick lunchtime spin…
Save 40% on all SiS products
Science In Sport has 40% off their entire range of tasty energy and recovery products, allowing you to get stocked up for a long winter of cycling for less.
For example, the Rego Rapid Recovery Protein Powder is down to £11.99 and the Go Isotonic Energy Gels are always a popular product with 27 flavours. It’s all kind on the stomach and tasty too.
Up to 50% off Oakleys + extra 5% off at checkout
The deals continue and Oakley is offering up to 50% off plus an extra 5% off at checkout for Cyber Monday.
That makes a pair of Sutro Lite Sweeps around £120 and the Unity Collection Jawbreaker’s are down to £110.50 from £221.
30% off everything at Quad Lock - smartphone mounting kits for all devices
With 30% off everything, there’s a solution here for everyone who is looking to mount a smartphone to their bike.
Featuring a patented dual-stage lock, you can ride with confidence over rough roads and you can easily detach to snap that beautiful view or take an important phone call.
Quad Lock has dedicated kits (a case included with the mount) for iPhones, as well as for all Galaxy, Pixel and Huawei devices.
For other devices Quad Lock also has its Universal Fit kit that works by sticking a strong 3M VHB adhesive onto the rear of a smartphone or case.

These items, including the Core Winter Jacket and Core Winter Tights, are ideal now that the temperature has dropped.
53% off Kryptonite Evolution Mini 7 Lock & Cable
If you don’t lock up your bike properly, you’re likely not going to have one for long… but the thing with locks is that they cost a lot! This Kryptonite Evolution Mini 7 Lock & 4 Foot Kryptoflex Cable is now retailing for less than half of its usual RRP, which means that you get a Sold Secure Gold D-lock and cable combo for a bargain price of £39.99.
Buy the Kryptonite Evolution Mini 7 Lock & Cable from Tredz here
30% off across Velocio clothing and accessories
Velocio’s kit is very comfortable and good-looking, and they now have a Cyber Monday sale which means 30% off a whole host of clothing and accessories on their site.
60% off Gorewear
Gorewear has some pretty impressive deals on their Black Friday / Cyber Monday pages, including this Torrent Long Sleeve jersey for women, reduced from £120 to £72
and these C5 thermo bib tights which look like they could keep you very warm in the cold and damp weather we’re about to get… and they now retail for £112 instead of £160.
The brand stocks lots of bad-weather kit so if you want to get your winter wardrobe refreshed, now is a good time for that!
Wiggle offers an extra 10% off for Cyber Week
When will it end? Black Friday week became Black Friday proper, which then morphed into Black Friday weekend, followed by Cyber Monday and soon-to-be Cyber Week. If you’ve got any appetite left Wiggle has an extra 10 per cent (when using the code EXTRA10 on selected items) off for the rest of the week, on top of the savings on its dhb range, Castelli clothing, bikes and more.
That means the Castelli Perfetto ROS Long Sleeve Jersey is down to just £99.99 in Military Green or £131.99 in a more conventional orange colour scheme. Either way, well down on the £220 RRP. You know what they say about big hands? Big savings on Castelli Lightness 2 Gloves, right? They’re down to £19.99 from £50 in sizes XL and 2XL. Oh, and you guessed it, there’s an extra 10 per cent off to be had with the code EXTRA10 at checkout.
Check ’em out…
Triban RC500 for under £500
Decathlon’s in the WorldTour, haven’t you heard?
> Decathlon set to become new co-title sponsor of AG2R La Mondiale, French team confirms
And while Felix Gall, Ben O’Connor, and this morning’s headline signing Sam Bennett, will all be aboard something a bit fancier than the Triban RC500, Van Rysel’s entry-level disc brake road bike sold at Decathlon surely can’t be beaten for value for money.
The price has been slashed from £649.99 to £499.99, and with space for up to 36mm tyres, this could be a cracking winter bike or first ride.
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…

It was a frustrating waste of time trying to get a ticket on Friday - 20 minutes in a queue before getting to the intro page, but with no option to select tickets! Had to refresh several times before a 'buy' button appeared, but there was nothing left by that time. It was still several minutes before a 'sold out' banner appeared. Even then, it was still possible to access the 'buy' button, despite zero availability. Why is it that after decades of online ticket sales, pretty much no company or organisation manages to do it properly? Oh well, I'll just join the great unwashed lining the Royal Mile, hoping to catch a flash of a jersey between the viewers around me. At least I got to see the Giro presentation in Belfast for free, and I plan on viewing Stage 1 from a yet to be determined location. (image: Landing page with no 'buy' button)
@Clem Fandango A few years ago, I regularly used Amazon deliveries. On one sad occasion, a driver, in his haste, tripped in my corridor and gave himself a concussion by whacking his head on the open front door. I left him with a neighbour whilst I moved his van and called an ambulance. The van stank, probably because he practically lived in it. It was full of plastic bottles of piss, presumably because he couldn't afford to have a day where there were reasonable comfort brakes. God knows how tired he must have been. In the end I took him to hospital as the ambulance was taking too long. Amazon sent a person in less than an hour. Not to see if he was alright, but to collect the van and continue with the deliveries. I imagine this problem will be 'solved' in a couple of years as the human will no longer be required to drive the van 16 hours a day as an AI will be doing it. Fewer concussions perhaps, but not sure that's going to be much comfort to the chap who brained himself on my door. I regret my prior use of Amazon.
I've had only one modern bike computer, a 1040, usually combined with a Polar H10. When I cycled from home through the Lakes, over the Coast to Coast and back to Garstang via Wensleydale I was away 7 days. The 1040 began at 95% and used up one small battery pack on the way. I let the unit choose the route home on its own. This is the perfect such device for people like me for whom such features as voice control are several innovations too far. The same trip could probably be managed with my subsequently bought Forerunner 255 with its breadcrumb navigation but it would have been considerably more tricky.
The most amazing part of the story is the question it raises, but never addresses, ie. should a man subject to dizziness and vertigo be driving at all? Forget Mr. Ross's anger management issues, which are, admittedly big issues, and consider the warning labels on medicines dispensed around the world warning that: "Medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Do not operate heavy machinery." Should someone suffering from bouts of dizziness sans medications be licensed to operate potentially deadly machinery? Forget cyclists, dizzy drivers regularly run into and injure or kill other motorists and pedestrians. And as a longtime journalists, I am left gobsmacked as to how carbrained someone would have to be to author that story. Not to mention how out of touch with reality an editor would have to be to put it into print. The mere suggestion that the cyclists weren't riding far enough to the right and that people should sympathize with Mr. Ross for his being charged with crimes for running into them, or getting so close to them that they could run into him (as Mr. Ross claims) borders on a invitation to other motorists to do what Mr. Ross did and ignore the three-foot requirement in Georgia's safe passing law.
@slownomad An EAPC is only legal to use on the road if it conforms to the EAPC Regulations 1983. An EAPC with a cut-off speed of say 20mph or a bigger motor is still an electrically assisted pedal cycle, but it is treated as a motor bike & needs registration, tax, insurance & a helmet.
@DS2025 That was my thought. My octogenarian father is prone to bouts of vertigo so he has given up cycling, motorbiking and driving. Declaring that medical condition publicly after a serious collision is quite incriminating.
700 quid and less battery life. I'll stick to my 1040 solar, thank you very much. Has more features than I'll ever need. Actually, THE star of the Garmin ecosystem is the one feature they make available for free: Garmin connect and its online platform. Were it not for that I'd have switched to an Apple Watch and other brand bike computer a long time ago.
Don't bother then, get out & watch the racing instead!
So because I have nothing better to do with my life I went and looked out a picture. Meh. Not much in it, but I think I prefer the new one - nicer purple.
Here's me and tens of thousands of my closest friends (not all pictured) not riding bikes in IOWA.

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.
