Shame they don't say if they are the TLE (tubless) or for tubes on their page.
I've just messaged them and if they are TLE I'll be buying 2 from my Bat Fastard as spares
Did you get a reply? If their tubeless I'm pressing the button.
Cheers

Up to 70% off Sportful at Saddleback, including a fair few bits from their gravel Giara range. Supergiara bibs around £55 (great shorts IME). Also saw the Supergiara "puffy" insulated short sleeve jacket down to @£55, worth a try as used mine a lot last year and maybe not as niche as it looks...
I've ordered socks, mitts, a nice looking loose collared jersey, and some Metro riding trousers (in a size smaller than arrived today from the recent Sigma sale, but even cheaper. £42 down from a barely believable RRP of £120!)

PX Silk Road Ti frame for less than £500 - seems like a bargain.

Thanks just bought roadie-ish jacket. It's actually a "gravel" jacket but hopefully no-one will notice

Merlin's reply was
"Just to confirm these are not listed as tubless ready by our supplier."
So I didn't bother

Just looking at Schwalbes website and they only list a 4.0" tyre in the performance line, not a 4.8. all the 4.8s are 'evolution line' and are tubeless ready....
Tempting anyway as they will probably go up tubeless anyway.....

Addix “no” performance are NOT tubeless. Tried to ignore this and seat a 4” one on my carbon wheels, blew straight over the bead shelf, they are baggy and a waste of time

Although my 4.8" Jim Jim's fit tubless on my Clown Shoe rims no problem at all, but I'm not heading to the garage to check if these were tubless or not at this time

I look to live relatively close to their warehouse, but impressed I've already received part of my order. So far all top notch stuff (mitts, breathable summer cap, thin summer socks) at great discounts . Just ordered a Fiandre light short sleeve jersey/ jacket to replace a Gabba light short sleeve I've, ahem, "grown out" of.

I imagine most here have a bike stand but I just bought one from Lidl for £30. No idea on quality etc. Get what you pay for, I guess.

Mine is a Minoura. Got around 12 years ago so has lasted me well (now on last legs).
Bought for around £70 at that time and hopefully will upgrade to a Park or Pedros at some point. Will be interwting to see how you find the Lidl one. Got a link? Congrats btw...

Here is the same one and for that price it was a no brainer . My Boss did say they turned up so I've kept an eye out for it. He did say they were popular but, if course, he wouldn't buy one as he'd go for a more expensive one to better suit his £10k Santa Cruz. He is a tool though.

But my publisher has the price set far too high, sorry out of my control

If you're one of the two people on Here who are still inexplicably denying themselves the pleasures of a Gatewood cape, I reckon £93 is a good deal unless I missed the £50 postage small print (*). You can shell out £160 normally.
https://www.mart4uk.co.uk/products ... QAvD_BwE
(*) in fact I didn't - "free postage". Crack on.

If you actually click on the buy button it takes you to an Amazon listing at £160.
But that may just be me

me too also taken to amazon - presumably they make money from adverts so do this sort of thing to get clicks ?
