HdB Posted November 24, 2022 Share Set of wheels from ChainReactionCycles arrived this morning. Shipped on Sunday, so I'm very impressed with DHL Express! Fat Charlie, Dexter-morgan, dexterdent and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted November 24, 2022 Share So what constitutes a "good" Black Friday special ? With most cycling outlets regularly having items on special. Anything from 1% to 70% discount is all to common at some of the big stores. Always wondered about those 1% specials ... 😋 yes, the big discounts are mostly for end of line items. So the real specials typically vary between 10 and 30%. Thus the question ... does "20% off on selected products" get you excited enough to want to log in at midnight ....

Well, the wheels I got were released early Oct, and are currently going for 33% off on CRC. https://road.cc/content/tech-news/2022-prime-wheel-range-296425 Still quite a bit of money, so I REALLY hope my first deep carbon wheels are good ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbz Posted November 24, 2022 Share How about one of these with a MSRP of GBP4814 going for R28999 (1400GBP) https://www.bespokecycling.com/bike-selector/products/parlee-chebacco-xd-le-frameset-1?colour=Black+Water&size=S https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-bike-frames/575709/parlee-chebacco-56-new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that discount does not warrant the effort. I have however bought quite a lot of motorbike gear from black friday, boots for half the price of the normal retail. Definitely recommended to do your homework before rushing to a special ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any newsletters even this year. Or maybe I'm just not paying attention? Hey Darko.

Most of those are off grossly overstated RRP, and designed to catch people who just don't do their homework. But apparently it works.

I am looking for a specific item ... have been for a while. So I know what SportsmansWarehouse charge, waiting for the loyalty points sales. I also know what the regular bike shops charge .... Going to be "fun" watching the RRP and final prices ...😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
