Competitive Cyclist is currently running a promo for $50 off of orders of $250 or more. The discount does not apply to the really good stuff, like Garmin/Wahoo head units or power meters, but it does stack with sale items (it worked with on-sale tires and F/R derailleurs, for instance). No promo code necessary - just get the shopping cart over $250 worth of eligible gear and the discount should auto-apply.

Placed an order this morning using strava premium discount code for $20 off a $100 order, plus the $50 off $250 promotion, then used active junky for an additional 6% back. Overall saved almost $100 off my order.

looking for wahoo kickr snap deals. thanks

Not directly cycling related, but if you're looking for a decent spare or backup phone to carry on rides or mount on the handlebar without risking your good phone, right now Walgreen's is blowing out the ZTE Majesty Pro for $10, along with other low end Android phones on the Simple Mobile prepaid service (which leases from T-Mobile). Those are still listed at $30-$50 on the Simple Mobile website, Amazon and others, and availability varies with Walgreen's.

These are not unlocked GSM phones but are tied to the Simple Mobile prepaid service for a year. But they'll still work for GPS activity apps, offline maps, etc., even without any phone service. Decent specs for an entry level phone, although RAM is only 8 GB so it can't be overloaded with apps. It's pretty comparable to my Verizon Moto E4, but smaller and lighter.

The prepaid service is reasonable. I'm trying the $60/mo unlimited everything service for now. But I was mostly interested in the phone as a spare to carry on the bike and for emergency calls. I'd been using an iPhone 4s for that but the old iPhone would occasionally get balky running multiple apps so I'd need to restart Strava, etc., if I opened a map or stopped to take a photo.

Assos Factory Outlet has just added several of the S7 bib shorts. Previously only the Neo Pro was on the outlet site.

Can I get some help on assos sizing please? I wear a small in Pearl Izumi, Giordana etc.

172.5cm height, 32 waist and 160 pounds.

On their website, based on height I should be getting a medium. Like in India, so return is not feasible.

I've been wearing bibs wrong all these years! My straps go over my nipples.

deepakvrao

Me too.

eric1971

I am about 182.5 170 and the large Equipe is a perfect fit for me.

realyfishy

I'm 6'1" 175 lbs & wear the large Equipe & love em!

MagicHour

71.5" Height/32" waist/155lbs wear a medium T.equipe - for my height straps are just long enough but any taller might not work; did try a large but the leg grippers are too loose. Medium in all my other bibs, Voler, performance.

That's a good price for those, as cheap as I've seen; I'd be tempted if I hadn't just bought a pair last month at full price, but at least I used a gift card.

Thanks guys.

I checked with a friend who has both S and M. Tried both. Both seem to fit, but were different models of Assos. The S said race fit and was fairly tight, and the M said comfort. Have ordered both a S and a M. Will keep whichever fits better.

This is what I have ordered.

$14.98 @ JENSON

Relatively speaking I'm a bit of rookie here...but I think this is a pretty good deal for some seriously light tubes (50g claimed).

Ebay has 15% off everything today only with code PREPSPRING

Hurry up, almost over!

I was all set to get some Mill City wheels...but they were not awailable

Too bad, I managed to pick up a used Specialized Romin Pro carbon railed saddle in auction for $60 incl. shipping with the 15% off.

They still have the 15% off deal at the moment, but only on select cycling products, not on everything. Still worth checking out though.

The guy from Minneapolis? If so, it's funny that a guy from NY would hear about him.

@Esthetic I finally got around to tying out the Magellan 315 / Mio 315 that I'd put on my wife's bike (my Garmin's battery was dead right before I wanted to go for a ride, so I borrowed hers). It has some good and bad features on it. It did fit into my barfly mount for my Garmin, so that was nice.

Since my wife would mainly use it, I asked for the suggested routes to be 5 miles (she's not a huge cyclist). It came back with a 6.5 and an 8 mile route. They were both fairly good rides with the problem that they both took me out on a road that I wouldn't intentionally ride on if I had the choice (it's a 4 lane - 2 each way - road with no shoulder, a posted 45 mph limit, but the median speed is somewhere around 60, and you get onto the road at the bottom of a V where there are 8-10% grades on either side, so it's a challenge to start out with cars coming flying up behind you and no shoulder to pull onto). The hills aren't long and if traffic were decent and there were a shoulder, it would make sense as part of a route, so I don't really fault the Mio 315 for choosing it as part of those routes. Navigation was clean and easy.

It was also cool in that I'd set it up to sync with my strava account when I was first getting it set up. It apparently kept track of all the Strava segments I'd previously gone on and my best time, because, in the middle of the ride, it just popped up with a message saying congratulations, you set a new PR on segment ________________________. I hadn't realized I was on a segment, so that was fun. I don't have a smart phone, so I know it wasn't somehow connecting to Strava live through a phone and this must have just been in the memory. When I got back and plugged it in, sure enough, I'd gotten a PR on that segment.

As far as navigating tracks that are already on it, I quickly made a few tracks (I should see if I can port over my routes from my garmin). Using those tracks worked OK, but it got confused as I went through a traffic circle that I use both on the in and out portions of the route (the 3/4 mile from my house to the circle and back again are the same, but I leave the circle at the second exit on the outbound journey and reenter it at the 3rd spot - If I'm entering at 6 o'clock, I leave at 12 o'clock and reenter at 9 o'clock). It got confused and told me to leave at the 9 o'clock exit that I should be re-entering instead of the 12 o'clock exit that I should have done. I followed its instructions to see what it would do. Once I left the traffic circle, it wanted me to pull a u-turn to fix the mistake (and regularly beeped and told me to make a u-turn), but it also had enough dots on the map of the route that I could easily do the loop in reverse and it was very clear. After doing the route the wrong way, I went back and did it the right way and it was just fine - I just left the circle at the exit that I knew was the right one this time. Thinking back, I'm not really sure if it got confused or if it just was a little slow in telling me to exit (it didn't tell me to leave the circle until I was past the exit I was supposed to use but I was going fast and it could have still been saying enter the circle when I was halfway around, I wasn't staring at it every second but both times it didn't tell me to exit at the correct exit. Other turns, traffic circles and the like that I only used once per route were no problem for navigation, so this could have been a weirdly specific bug. If it hadn't been so long since I created the route, I probably would have remembered which way I was supposed to go and not noticed.

I think I'd like to try to figure out how to download all my other routes from my garmin and see if I can put them on this just for fun.

I don't believe this model can sense a powermeter (not sure if it can do cadence either - in my case I get cadence/wheelspeed from my powertap hub, so it's a moot point), but it sensed my heart rate monitor and asked if I wanted to pair without me asking it to search for it, so at least that KOM I got on the segment I didn't realize I was on has some documentation.

Overall, it's a cute little device for the $70 or so that I paid for it if you don't want power.

Giro Aeon Helmet - $78

That is a great price, but I personally like the look of their Synthe and Foray helmets better. More understated look. I've got the Foray, very pleased with it.

The Aeon looks like it is trying too hard.
