Does anyone have a lead on a good deal for Ultegra or Dura Ace pedals?
Also, for anyone near San Diego, 100% is having a warehouse sale this Friday and Saturday.

I did that last year
I know people will be concerned about the expire dates
In regards to the SIS Gels here is what I have found (YMMV) - those that I have kept in a cool location and are expired for 6-9 month are still perfect (some expired March of 2022, the other May 2022)
a box from a November 2021 batch that I left in my car over the summer got a lumpier texture (think Maurten). It was late August or September and I wasnāt expecting the lumps and it surprised me to the point I spit it out during the ride. I have thrown these out as I donāt like the texture (kind of freaks me out).
I assume it was the summer heat that cooked them, but will continue though the rest of what I bought last year till they are gone (unless they get lumps)

Yea Iām not too worried about the expiration dates to be honest. Thatās why I stocked up. These should last me through the end of next year.
Also picked up some Powerblock adjustable DBs for $290 on Woot. Best price Iād seen.

I had the lumpy texture on some that I ordered a couple weeks ago, set to expire Dec 22!
It upset my stomach and I emailed them - they sent me a new box, so weāll see

That should be Maurtenās new sales pitch to accurately describe the texture of their gels: ācomparable to expired gels that have been left in a hot car!ā

This trainer is now $318.94 at Merlin Cycles. Again, I think itās identical to the Jetblack Volt and Zwift Hub.

Seems like consensus is itās a JetBlack Volt but with zero software support and a number of firmware bugs.
Thereās something similar branded as XPlova and the reviews on Wiggle/CRC say similar things about firmware support (even though that one has the Lifeline and Acer brands behind it).
I might be willing to take that risk at Ā£150 but not Ā£300, even though thatās a great price for a JB Volt.
Random question - but do you recall who it was delivered by? Iām showing a Fedex package from COPE SERVICES INC awaiting pickup, but havenāt gotten an order dispatch or phone call for the KICKR Bike I bought on Monday in the big saleā¦
Thanks!
It was Fedex Freight, but beyond that I honestly donāt remember. I think they contract with local or regional delivery folks, so likely they use a lot of different people. Keep following the tracking. I suspect it will get sorted out by next week, but if you donāt hear anything call Fedex and they can probably get you in touch with the regional shipper.

Thanks! I ordered on Monday and was hoping it might go out before the weekend as it sounds like they only ship Monday/Wednesday/Friday.
The Lifeline trainer table now in sale: at CRC

Thanks! I was due for a new tub, perfect timing!
Damn. I just bought two yesterday. Oops.
Makes it about the same as GNC (with autoship), which is usually significantly cheaper than Amazon.
Donāt forget to use a shopping portal for another couple of % cash back.
