Great cycling deals aren't restricted to consumer holidays like Black Friday and Boxing Day, nor are they specifically seasonal. We're blessed in that cycling retailers are constantly updating their selections, which means they're constantly offering bargain bits of kit.
Springtime is no exception, and Chain Reaction Cycles are celebrating the upturn in temperatures across the country by running their Spring Cleanout sale.
This isn't a normal sale. By that we mean, it's not as simple as great cycling gear at incredibly low prices. There's an extra caveat.
Should you spend more than £75, which let's be honest is very likely, you'll get an extra ten pounds off CRC's Spring Cleanout sale items.
To claim that extra £10 off, just use the coupon code "CLEAN2017" at checkout.
The full selection can be found here, but we've picked out a few of our favourites below for you:
The seasons, they are a'changing.
If you're the kind of cyclists that has a winter-specific wardrobe and a summer-specific wardrobe, this time of year could be a little uncomfortable for you.
Items like this one from Endura fill that gap beautifully.
road.cc reviewer extraordinaire Liam Glen gave this specific jersey an 8/10 and said it's "ideal for changeable conditions."
Check out his full review below:
If you're after a pair of super stable, low weight pedals to see you through the early throws of race season, Look's Keo 2 Max Blade pedals are a very sensible option.
Our man Jez Ash put them through their paces a while back and liked them enough to send them packing with a very respectable road.cc 8/10.
Seeing as we're entering springtime, we reckon it's plenty appropriate to continue including cross-season bits of cycling gear.
These Bellwether bibs feature thermal fabric which offers optimal insulation. The fact that this feature's on a pair of bib shorts means that the rest of your legs are free to release any excess heat when you need it, but your thighs shouldn't freeze on extra chilly descents.
A 9/10 road.cc review is something pretty special, especially when that 9/10 comes straight from the fingertips of our widely experienced tech editor David Arthur.
He said that Sidi's Wire Carbon Vernice cycling shoes offer supreme fit, comfort and stiffness.
Sure, he mentioned how expensive they are too, but at a discount like this, they become even more appeaing.
Don't think for a moment that just because you're far less likely to encounter ice that coming off your bike is an impossibility.
If you do come off at any time of year, you may well be thankful for having a helmet on your head.
We're unlikely to convert any of you non-helmet wearers here, and we tend not to take sides on the debate of whether they're necessary, but the MET Inferno offers a pretty sleek, well ventilated, lid.
Finally, today's most expensive DealCatcher deal comes from Ghost.
We had the slightly more expensive but disc-less Nivolet 6 in for review a little while back and it performed pretty well.
Ghost strike the balance well between performance and comfort, and the Nivolet's relaxed riding position will suit the less extreme of you out there.
Yep sorry I thought the minimum was in line with the dsq timeframes now after the lifetime upgrade....
Good! Jump a red, get a ticket. As it should be. If you're going to jump a red, especially infront of a cop, frankly, you're an idiot and you...
What we need is a hanger that can be bent back.
Probably because the two top teams using Scott bikes also use Sram - and it's a bike designed for them. Q36.5, and Scott-Sram - they've already...
Whilst the young lads skills are exceptional, it's the sheer unadulterated joy that touched me.
Gloucestershire have told me the outcomes to nearly all my reports. I have to wait 12 months to find out now whereas I got them immediately before...
In my experience drivist use the pavement as a continuation of their drive and pull out across it at speed without the cursory glance, and often...
Interesting review, particularly their good behaviour in crosswinds... @Stu Kerton, have you tested the carbon-spoked Elan version yet? I'm...
True. We are partially protected in the UK relative to the US because we don't allow politicians to spend so much money on campaigning, and...
