Olsen bikes have a 50%off2nd tyre deal on some already well priced Vittoria mtb and gravel tyres.

Just add 2 to the cart and the code is auto applied.

I really like the look of some of the olsen bikes but the website melts my head, I can't even find tyres until I search for the word tyre, and the bike build choices are just too numerous and confusing, I debating buying a few months back but in the end I just gave up on the website

Agreed. Its a dreadfull website. Hard to beleive that quarter of a century into regular internet use that crap like this still exists. For those looking for tyres

Agree the site is pants but the bikes are lovely and I just learned something wandering aimlessly about it. There is something called Super Boost ... 157mm rear spacing. Have I fallen through another rift in the space-time continuum?

I am holding out for super mega massive boost personally

Yeah the site is not great, just see it as having to earn your cheap tyres haha, the promotion isn’t even advertised anywhere on the site or their social media. I stumbled across it as wanted some terreno 2.1s for commuting and they came up in a web search

Few years old now. Salsa FS bikes are 157mm. Works well

If anyone's after a pub bike or commuter Wiggle have got the Vitus Dee Nexus City on sale for £280. I paid £100 more about a year ago and couldn't be more chuffed with it. Most bike for your money available right now, hands down, if you want a city basher. Nexus Inter 3 is agricultural but perfect round town, I ride mine in lumpy Exeter and it's more than enough range. MT400 brakes and a nice Nukeproof saddle to boot.

Spend the money you save on a set of guards, pedals, and new tyres.

^Aye, I recommended that to a pal recently and he's chuffed with it, great bike for the money

Nowt to do with me, but there's an On-One Bootzipper for sale in Bristol at the mo, via @thisoldbear on Instagram.
32x18 SS
Good points: Loud hubs, hella zits.
Less good points: Screechy brakes, rear wheel needs a true.
£250 ONO.

Seems like it could be a decent deal?

Osprey 3 l bladders, £13 at Evans
https://www.evanscycles.com/brand/ospre ... e=93157501

I don’t know if they’re the same ones, but I’ve had two Osprey back packs with bladders. I couldn’t get the taste of plastic out of either of them. Tried the bicarbonate of soda in 5 or 6 repetitions with no success. I mailed Osprey to see if they had any suggestions. They said to try bicarbonate and lemon juice and to freeze it. After three cycles, the taste was still there. I’ve given up on it.
