Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Amain Cycling has the black 30mm Continental GP 5000 S TR in stock for $76.

They also give out discount codes for signing up to their email newsletter. I bought some filler odds and ends that I needed and used a $10 off $100 code to get to the $99 free shipping minimum.

Not sure what these tires usually cost, but $76 for ONE tire is super expensive to me

The tires I usually buy (Michelin Pro 4 Endurance) are $35 each...

Good for you?

I wouldn't call the GP5kS TR a hot deal, $99 is the msrp iirc, but the fact that they're available with any kind of a discount may be very enticing to some, 'specially considering that most TSS tires (Tubeless Straight Side aka Hookless) are going to be $50+

GP 5000 S TR 30mm $56 at Bikeinn. Probably not worth it for people outside Europe, but there it is. They also have the P Zero TLRs in stock, in several sizes.

Shipping is only $15 to me, in the middle of the US, so not bad. If they had 28s, I might be really tempted.

Fellow Canadians,
Well I found a good price on a ¼" drive torque wrench that appears to come with a calibration certificate. $39 w/ free shipping.
It's on Amazon.ca which normally I'd be reluctant to buy something technical from, but the calibration certificate makes it seem less sketchy.
Sadly I have not reached 10 posts so I am forbidden from giving you the link or pic.
You could try going to amazon.ca and putting this in the search box.

Just saw that! Looks like a deal to me. Even if it doesn't last much than a few years, at this price, it's still good. Would love to see an accuracy test though.

For what it's worth, Princess Auto also has a similar deal (Power Fist). That's the one I have.

It shipped pretty quick (had it in 6 days including a weekend) and can confirm that it does come with a calibration certificate, mine was within +/- 0.1%. Build seems decent and if you register it (which costs nothing) they extend the warranty by two years. The only caveat is that it's built to even inch pounds so the cardinal NM markings are fractional. ie. when one scale is 35"# the other is 3.95nm.

Not exactly a steal or deal but I've come to appreciate this torque wrench set from PRO. It has all the common sockets and is especially handy for those who frequently work on their bikes.

Nice looking set oris ! But it's US Amazon... for us Canucks that's a $70 set plus $19 shipping and with the Dollarette trading at about $1.31USD that's a $117 purchase in Canadian assuming you don't get burned with import fees... The Canadian aspect is significant, and also why eduskator references Princess Auto rather than Harbor Freight - Same kinda place but in Canada...

Deal on Raleigh Team frames with Columbus Airplane tubing

I took a chance on the ebay listing "Sampson Express Frame" for $99 ($174 total) team with Columbus Airplane tubing with Carve Carbon seatstay. My 62cm came in at 3.2lbs. My research shows it is a 2002/03 Raleigh Team with Columbus Airplane tubing with Columbus Carve seatstay. Nice Columbus headset came with it also.

I looked at that. Not too many frames in our size. Have had bad luck buying frames without forks, so I decided to pass (though getting an inexpensive alloy frameset to do a ultraminimal build for a trainer-exclusive setup - to free the bike that's on there now - with no wheels or brakes is something I think about from time to time). Looks like you got a good one. What sort of tire clearance does that have?

Why do you think it is the same as an early 00s Raleigh? I am guessing the dropouts match?...that seems like a more unique identifier.

They are also doing 20% off of the Pro Team Training Jerseys, which I really, really like. They don't have the zipped valuables pocket of the regular Core Jersey (the Core Lightweight don't have them, either), but they are otherwise better IMO - the feel, stretch, how well they breathe, etc. Assuming the more race-cut fit is acceptable, they're worth considering as a step-up.

The Pro Team Training jerseys are really nice.

The Core are a really good deal. My only caution is on the some colors of the Pro Team Training and Core Lightweight can be quite sheer and black bib straps will show through, along with your body...

Yes, even the darker Rapha jerseys are way too sheer for this modest prude. Skintight is fine but I draw the line at the need for pasties.
