As publicised in some of the cycling press Evans in Cheetham Hill are selling of the remnants of the wiggle warehouse

Worth a look as some bargains, apparently they have had the first 1000 items, 31000 to go!

This was previously advertised on the CyclingUK forum classifieds, so if you're a member over there you might be able to get in touch and negotiate a private sale. https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.p ... 3#p1841863

While probably quite different stock etc, remember Rich and Shona at the excellent Keep Pedalling in Manchester if you're bike kit shopping in that area. Good people who sponsor the WRT.

Some keen prices are Merlin, particularly on tyres. I'm about to order some Vittoria Rubinos in 30mm for £20 each, and also worth pointing out that a quart of Stan's is £22.50 on its own, which is pretty good.

They've also got some Kask Mojito roadie helmets for £75 - only certain sizes and colours, but mostly medium and sensible colours, not hideous XXXS.

I ran these too as my first ever (proper) set of/for road tubeless. Trust me Dave, these are excellent but, the GP5000 TR in anything above 28mm is phenomenal. I think I've lasted at least 2 winters and the while of the rest of seasons. Grip and speed is insane. Expensive but you really will love em (IMHO).

Crumbs you people have expensive tastes in winter tyres . Personally i run a dynamo hub and 38 mm tyres in winter....very very draggy and thin tubeless ones for summer

The GP is very highly regarded and amongst the owest rolling resistance

Are you going to bid on it? I'm half interested, but don't want to bump the price for a fellow BB resident!

Nah, I have a search for Revelate stuff hence why I spotted it but I already have enough Jones bars, don't need Molokos as well.
