SUMMARY
Save 30% on Tubolito's premium lightweight inner tube bundles with the exclusive code roadcc30
If you’re looking to save weight on your bike set-up, switching to a set of super light TPU inner tubes can make a huge difference… up to 140g compared to a pair of standard butyl tubes, in fact, according to Neil who gave a glowing review of the Tubolito Road on road.cc.
Luckily for road.cc readers, Tubolito have lightened their prices for Black Friday too, offering a tidy 30% off all bundles from today until 2nd December with the exclusive code roadcc30. The bundles each include two tubes and a patch repair kit, and there’s a bundle for all cycling disciplines: Tubo-Road, Tubo-CX/Gravel, Tubo-MTB and more. If you want to drop some serious grams, the S-Tubo-Road is a silly light 23g per tube!
This is the best price we’ve even seen on Tubolito tubes, so you might have to be quick before stock starts to dwindle.

Affordable road bikes now even cheaper at Decathlon
Winter steed? Commuter? Or just a very capable entry-level road bike that doesn’t cost the world? Decathlon has slashed the prices on some of its women’s Triban models. Considering how budget-friendly many of these are normally it might be a surprise to see further discounts for Black Friday, but here we are.
The women’s RC500 and EDR are both available for under £400 in certain sizes and colours. The RC500 is up for £399.99, a saving of £200, in sizes small and extra small, both in Petrol Blue colour scheme. That’s a sub-10kg aluminium road bike with a carbon fork, 9-speed Shimano Sora groupset and 28mm tyres. All for £399.99.
Other deals include the Triban ‘Women’s Road Bike’ in white down to £249.99 in sizes small and extra small, as well as the flat bar RC500 (also in Petrol Blue) with £200 off and down to £399.99 in size small.
£1,500 off Ribble Endurance SL R Disc
Ribble has slashed the price of its Ribble Endurance SL R Disc – Sport, a carbon road bike kitted out with Shimano’s 12-speed 105 Di2 and Mavic Ksyrium 30 alloy wheels. It was £4,499 but now has £1,500 off and can be bought for £2,999. By our calculations, if you take into account the groupset and wheelset price alone, that’s a carbon frame, Pirelli P-Zero tyres, Ribble RI-2 Integrated Carbon Handlebars and Selle Italia Model X saddle for around a grand.
16% off Garmin Edge 540 at Amazon
Garmin’s Edge 540 GPS cycling computer is under £300 with Amazon, reduced from £329.99 to £277.99, a saving of 16 per cent. One of Garmin’s mid-range offerings, the 540 has all the mapping, climbing, workout and training features you’d expect from a modern cycling computer. The battery life is a stated 26 hours too, meaning you can spend less time charging and more time riding.
Boardman SLR 8.6 road bikes reduced by £130 at Halfords, down to £520
It’s not just Decathlon with deals on budget road bikes. Halfords has taken £130 off the Boardman SLR 8.6, cutting it to £520 this Black Friday. Both the men’s and women’s version are that price and come with a Shimano Claris 8-speed groupset and rim brakes around an aluminium frame, a wide range of gears and space for 28mm tyres.

25% off Garmin Varia RTL515 rear radar and tail light
The Garmin Varia RTL515 doubles up as a rear light and radar system, which will give you warning for overtaking drivers. It’s another product we’ve reviewed and were impressed by, Iwein giving it four stars back in 2022. The one downside was the price, then £169.99, something that has reduced in the last couple of years. Now, for Black Friday, Amazon has it down at £119.99.
Stock up on the basics... Shimano cleats down to £10.99
It’s not all about the expensive stuff… Tweeks Cycles has Shimano SPD-SL cleats at half price, down to £10.99 today. Admittedly, that half price is on RRP and you’ll find them a little bit more expensive at other places too, but that’s the cheapest we’ve spotted so far.
Specialized's Align II Mips helmet is now £26.99
The Specialized Align II Mips helmet is a great value Mips-equipped lid for all kinds of riding, and it’s now 40% off, down to £26.99.

Shimano's Ultegra 12s Di2 Disc Groupset is now priced from £1,199
Shimano’s 12-speed Ultegra is one of the only groupsets to receive a 10/10 rating on road.cc, and can now be picked up for quite a bit less than RRP.
Ultegra retains all the functionality of the range topping Dura-Ace groupset with a very small weight penalty that for most of us will make the most negligible of differences. In terms of the offers here at Sigma Sports, the cheapest £1,199 price is for those who take 175mm cranks and a 50/34 chainset, while the 170mm and 172.5mm crank options are priced at £1,234.09. Whichever flavour you go for, it’s a minimum saving of 38% over the RRP.
Save up to 47% on Shimano’s Ultegra 12s R8170 Di2 Disc Groupset from Sigma Sports
Rapha's Core jersey is now just £49 at Sigma Sports
An old favourite, the Rapha Core jersey which got 9/10 when we reviewed it back in 2020 has 37 per cent off at Sigma Sports. Simon’s test had him confident it’s a “great-performing, lightweight summer jersey” at a competitive price. Well, that price is even more competitive now, giving you a pound change from £50 (yes, I know you don’t get change online)… anyway, it could be a nice present to your future self for when the weather is (maybe) nice again next spring…

We’re fairly sure a lot of the deals we’ve posted on here will send you to the brand or retailer’s US website if they have one, but we’ve also cherry-picked these US-specific deals too.

Favero Assioma power meter pedals are now the lowest price ever
As noted by thax1 in the comments, Favero has slashed the prices of its highly-rated power meter pedals, and they’re considerably cheaper than when we reviewed the original (and still exceptional) model back in 2017.
The single-sided set are down to £249, the Duo-Shi Shimano pedal retrofit bodies (dual-sided) are £328.99 and Look-compatible Assioma Duo are down to £369.00. There’s free shipping, but be aware that because of that thing that happened eight years ago you will have to pay import duty if you’re based in the UK like us; though by our calculations, you’ll still be making a significant saving over buying them from a UK retailer.

Black Friday has morphed into Cyber Monday, and we're back to hunt for more cycling bargains
The frenzy of consumerism that is Black Friday may have passed, but that doesn’t mean the bargains are over… of course it’s now ‘Cyber Monday’, a term hastily coined in a boardroom somewhere a few years ago to reflect the shift from fighting over heavily discounted TVs in real life towards madly tapping in card details on a keyboard at 00:01am to get the bargain before those heavily discounted TVs run out. Joy!
With the bike industry going through some turbulent times recently and overstock being an issue, particularly with bikes, from our observations it seems like there are still plenty of opportunities to pick up good deals that you won’t find at other times of year, even after the heavy discounting of the past few days. We’ve given what was our Black Friday blog a spit and polish, checked over the deals we added last week and removed any that no longer stand/the stock has ran out. We’ll also be adding shiny new ones throughout the day.
As much as we’d happily live in a Black Friday and Cyber Monday-free world, ultimately, what this all comes down to is that, whisper it quietly, it is actually quite a good time to buy new stuff. Bikes, kit, tech, accessories — you name it and it’s probably cheaper today than it has been at any point this year — so, it’s kind of our job to tell you when there’s great cycling products available at tempting prices.
There’s no need to order for the sake of it but that upgrade, bit of winter kit, or Christmas gift idea might well be as cheap as it’s ever been. In which case, who are we to tell you not to.
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.
* 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!

Jetmans Dad "Food delivery riders in particular are riding overpowered 'eBikes' that are basically mopeds … powered only via the throttle without pedalling at significantly more than 15mph. Problem is they look like normal bikes/ebikes and not like mopeds so that is what people describe them as." Indeed, mistaken identification of e-motorcycles as bicycles is a significant problem because different regulations and training apply, so different enforcement. Even worse are the illegaly modified e-motorcycles that are not operated as such, without training, insurance and compliance generally. Zero hour employment contracts and employers taking no practical responsibility make it worse yet. Then there's the health impacts on customers that fall on taxpayers through the NHS.
I might be cynical about Police re-organisations but how many new senior officer posts will be created in this re-organisation.
I have to put it back into mode eight so rarely that I will have to open up the manual. Normally when I stick it on the bars when I had to send my r4 back to Hope. Or if it seemed to go a bit weird. Can't remember the last time.
I have nothing but praise for my helmet mounted Exposure Axis, running eight years now. Battery only does two and a bit commutes now, so I'm going to either upgrade to the Diablo or see if they will upgrade the battery. If they'd released their STVZo road/4k lumens when your giving it some going downhill off road light I would have bought it first day. Mode 8 for me, low low, good mid and top high, decided after a couple of weeks of use and I've never changed. I use the button or the tap function (Tap 2 for me) to cycle through the power levels. Exceptional helmet light. The button is it's weak point, but very livable, I am glad of the tap function. It can sometimes take a few presses to get the flashing bit with its press and hold, but not for too long because that's off.
Hard to see who replies on any thread. I only visit the site a couple of times a week as it is not usable.
People who want to travel safely in a 20 mph area, so that no motor vehicle tries to overtake them, need to be capable of 20 mph so get no assistance at all from a legal e-bike that provides 15.5 mph. So the e-bike regulations are broken because they encourage unsafe overtaking by impatient drivers (5 mph). In 30 mph roads, the 10 mph difference would still allow safe overtaking to be completed in short distances. So the low speed 15.5 is less safe in practice not safer.
I have been doing some cross-checking between my records and the police dataset How do you do that? The spreadsheet has been designed to ensure that you can't. There's no unique code for each incident, so why haven't they included that? There are many incidents dated from the same location on the same day by the same despised reporter category (cyclist) for the same offender category (such as 'car'). The great majority of intended (as usual in these misleading 'databases', it's not the real outcome) outcomes is the entirely useless 'warning letter'. Is there anybody out there who believes that the average police officer could rouse either the wit or the willingness to determine whether the offender has received a warning letter previously?! Some people will be receiving numerous such letters to throw in the bin, which encourages them to repeat the offence. As for the claimed 'positive outcome'!- only the most deluded could believe that
I pretty much have stopped bothering. I also find when I come to the site it loads the previous days page and I have to refresh to see today’s front page.
I regularly submit reports to A&S Police, and keep detailed records of what I have submitted, and the responses. I have been doing some cross-checking between my records and the police dataset. I'm afraid correlation is patchy at best. So, I am not confident in the dataset's accuracy. Further, where I can be fairly certain of a correlation, it's been largely warning letters issued for very clear video evidence of hand-held mobile phone use whilst driving. No wonder I see so many doing so. They have nothing much to fear. :o( Should I keep bothering?
That was a reply to Hirsute by the way, which I naïvely assumed would appear on the thread underneath his comment given that I clicked the reply button on his comment. The Admins really need to sort this, and various other problems, out before people stop bothering.

A good saving no doubt, especially if you’re working on rrp for the groupset and wheels, but with 105 Di2 available from multiple retailers for £850 and Kysrium 30s available for as little as £270 (SJS Cycles) you’re really looking at about £1900 rather than a grand for all the other bits mentioned.
