Deals / Sales / Discounts for Cycling "Stuff" (2018-2022)

Does anyone here have a 30% Pactimo friends and family discount or referral code they are willing to send me in a PM? I plan to purchase some bibs from them.

The Pactimo codes are not active during their current Summer Stages sale. They are having a sale on most items until July 3rd ish.

Thanks. This has been on my “that’s annoying. I should look into it” list for a while. Solved with a setting on the head unit.

What setting did you find? I didn’t see anything related to the light mode on my 530–there’s modes for Individual or riding on a group, but nothing about the Night/Day flash mode that I could find.

Individual, auto, high visibility, trail, etc. they all do something different and is on the manual online

This is a setting under Radar on the 530, not under “light” On the radar setting, under Light Mode. You should have options for Low, Day Flash, Night Flash and Off.

Anyone need pedals. I don’t know the seller or anything, but this is a steal. Online Swap Meet for Cycling and Triathlon | Facebook

Yea for Pactimo the friends and family codes are not active during their seasonal sales. That said I am an ambassador so I get the codes but can’t post them but can DM if anyone needs in the future and sees this.

I tried a menthol SIS gel that I got for free.

Tasted like lemon-scented IcyHot.

I’m not sure I could choke a whole gel down even if I was hypoglycemic and performance was on the line. I’ve never tasted something that so strikingly triggered a “this is not an edible thing” response. As in “surely I should not eat this.”

It was as if I had just tasted bleach. Immediate revulsion and fear for well-being. Other things I have consumed, for context. The menthol SIS gel surpassed all.

  • Cat food (I was 12 okay)
  • Beet juice, citrulline malate, ashwagandha, creatine, beta alanine slurry.
  • Chewed up caffeine pill
  • Pure sodium citrate in water
  • LaQroix (I was 32, still bad)
  • Spoiled meat
  • Everclear

i got a box of the menthol SIS gels too and i can say i am not a fan. I don’t need to try the other stuff on your list to relate. They suck.

The NorCal Cycling Couch to Crit Youtube episodes have a 20% off Stages link. I used it to buy a Dura-Ace 9000 3rd gen power meter for $216 after sales tax. Price was so low I couldn’t resist lol. I’ll move my 1st gen Stages to the backup bike.

Probikekit appears to still be running their tire twin pack flash sale. I picked up a twin pack of GP5000s for $80 + $10 shipping yesterday. A bit better than on Amazon.

Not sure it’s much of a flash sale, I think that’s just their normal price (been that way for at least a month and they’ve always had the GP4000s around that price in the past). I ended up ordering from Wiggle with latex tubes as the bundle and free shipping. :grinning:

It was up there yesterday when I saw it. Like I said, a little bit better than Amazon Prime once shipping included. But last 5000 I bought was from the LBS for $80 for one… needed a race day replacement… sigh. Anyway…

Totally agreed on local pricing - - can get them for basically 50% off/2 for 1 from the UK sites… If you’re not in a pinch for one immediately. :grinning:

I learned something cool in the Rapha brick and mortar store today. If you ask for deals, you can get some serious discounts. Buy bibs and a jersey together and get 25% off both! Buy 1 pair of socks for $20 or 3 pairs for $45.

Decided to buy a pair of Lake CX 238s to rotate with my CX 237s. All I found by searching was retail – until I was looking on the BikeTiresDirect website and noticed a special Lake 25% off promo. Score!

Lots of supplements are marked down on Amazon for Prime Day. Noticed Sports Research and Muscle Milk have a lot of items 30% off. Nuun also has some discounted products.
