Bargain buys thread

Good pricing in the age of COVID tax, and good buying for a kid... @HamboCairns your lad might still be a couple of years off, but the geo on these ran crazy small.

Wow that is a good bike, a bit big for my son right now, he's just reached 151cm.

So the answer is to run M8000 drivetrains or SRAM X01?

 

[slowmick]

And me with a M rune. What was I thinking?

"I thinks I need a large..."

FYI - Olight RN800 is on clearance at Olight for $65. (USB-C charging, 800lumens 2h on full, down to 8h on low)
Can also save another 12% with CPN12.

I've grabbed some more for hopefully getting the boys out on night rides. No affiliation etc. I just like these lights.

Allty 2000 Bike Light

● Max output of 2,000 lumens and 165 meters throw ● Creative OLED Screen Design ● High capacity battery pack can keep running for up to 14.5h ● Embedded with an independent daytime running light and two high power LEDS

I was banging on about these in the LIGHTS thread... But now they're here. Good price. Fast postage. Love you Olight!

Here you go @PJO

Large in older v2 I’d closer to a medium in v3.

Thanks just wanted to see how the light attaches to the mounts, looks like a twist lock?

EDIT: Do you know if you can get spare mounts so it can cover multiple bikes without removing the mount?

 

[dirtdad]

I think it's a Garmin style 1/4 turn mount. But not certain. Don't have a Garmin to test it with.

 

[The Reverend]

Sure did

You are going to have to let that go sometime..
Once in a lifetime deal that was.

Particularly with COVID Chuntsticks these days.
Would happily pay that for a used frame now.

Everyone's trying to pay for their kid's last few years at a Swiss finishing school.

And swimming lessons to get them there....

Been so long, I'm a virgin again.

albeit not as slap free as shimano.

Drop a chain when my 12sp GX clutch got sloppy. put new one only slap free for 150km ish then drop chain again, if it is X01 or XX1 i would be fuming
11sp is "adjustable" tho. pulled the pin out on the 11sp X1 clutch cover and turn clockwise 1 full turn and its slap free for 1000km+

Totes a bargain I say! Local bloke, no horse in the race for me. I’d totally buy if it was 27.5.
Pyga Hyrax frame. Brand new. I think they retail for over $2k more than this. He’s chasing $2750 on FB. No one on there is smart enough to understand.

 

[Petero]

Theres a brand new slx 12spd cassette for $100 on the WA MTB sales groups on fb if anyone is looking.

Not sure if these are a bargain being a few years old but new carbon specialized frames for under $2k.
