Boast about your latest purchases here...

As I understand it they are combining the operation with Wiggle. Not sure what that looks like, but they are closing the Northern Ireland mail order warehouse

Doubt that you will see any difference. I imagine that they will run the two websites side by side and just combine warehousing and shipping to save bucks

In an insurance payout I got me some new brakes and grips (ESI Extra Chunky)

You claimed from insurance for a set of brakes and grips??

Why not.... If damaged in a crash / fall / motoring incident it's a valid claim.

 

Especially if there's a low excess

Along with a set of bib shorts and a helmet. Fell pretty hard and did some damage to the bike when the handlebars rotated.

 

excess was 5% of entire claim

Increase in premium ?

 

I claimed 10k in jan and premium increased by R1.23

That 10k that you claimed will take them 8130 payments to make back with the increase. Well worth it if you ask me...

I'm aware of the wiggle purchase, figured it might be something in that line.

How do you get to 8130 payments ??

 

Premium was R230 something now R231 something 

 

Still 43 payments so i'm happy

If you take the 10k and divide it by R1.23 - coz that is essentially what the claim cost you above and beyond what you were already paying...

 

But yeah, 43 payments with the total premium

Ok yeah thats different then, I thought it was just the brakes and grips in which case I would consider the excess vs no claim bonus etc.

Was just trying to understand it is all.

Trying out these to see what the benefits are of clipless flat combos vs normal SPD mtb shoes.

So far really positive.

[Ride Rate Review]

Ever since Specialized dropped the SWAT bomb on the cycling industry I have been quite jealous of folks able to carry integrated tools inside their bikes.

 

If I rode packless I used to be very limited with the things I carried. I mean a multi tool in the pocket just doesn't work for me because its damn uncomfortable, bouncing round in the rough, I used to just risk it and hope for the best, until today.

 

There are some very awesome products being releases in the cycling world and it seems tool integration is becoming a big thing, like it should.

 

This is the All In Multitool.

 

Ordered from the fantastic okes at allinmultitool.co.za.

 

You can bet there will be a video.... very soon

They are awesome. Only blow is they don't have a chain tool in there but weirdly there is space for spare links. R1200 is a fair amount for a mini tool but it's a nice, bling, bit of kit if you're not with a pack or saddle bag or a fanny pack. I remember Peaty and Mr Minn running them when they were doing they little Enduro adventure together in Italy.

just remember to remove it from your bike when you park somewhere to quickly run into the store ... you may just find some dodge guy filming himself trying to cut the bike off the rack and then rather deciding to take the multi-tool and run for it instead.
