Any good to outstanding labour day sales?

[g_man80]

35% off anything at Propain including custom builds with code "Homie-Hookup-35". Definitely possible to build a pretty sick bike for <$4k.

Ooh, that’s tempting! Unfortunately, when I put in they code it switched to mischief20 and applies 20% off. Still a great discount! Hugene with ultimate suspension, X0 mechanical, and bike yolk for $4k!
EDIT: got the 35% off to work. $3.2k!!! Damn

I had the same issue. I went back, deleted the 20% code and re-input the 35% code and it worked.

Didn't buy anything yet. Still debating.

Thanks. That worked! However, I was mostly past the temptation. Now I have some thinking to do

Jenson had C2 Sight's for $2600 for around 4 days last Fall, crazy deal (I pounced for the wife). Makes sense why (now) with the new high pivot version they came out with this Spring, had to move a lot of old inventory.

Anyone see any good carbon wheel sales happening? Would also consider a decent alu wheel. For 115lb wife who's a good biker but not a smasher......

There's so many people unloading carbon wheelsets on facebook/pinkbike for way cheap right now. I'd just hop on that if they're in good condition.

[Tailwind]

The Roval Control Carbon is a great play for a lighter rider (or XC wheels for most weights). Rims are realllllly light and seem to be durable. DT 350’s are solid.

Likely $800 on PB.

Honest question: is there an objective reason to avoid superboost (aka DH spacing)? Enough to drive price down?

My 0.02 is that it's an unnecessary standard that makes compatibility and resale tougher for those with extra wheels or like tinkering. It has lived longer than I expected, but only 3-5 brands have adopted it, Pivot being the most vocal and biggest. I refuse to buy a Pivot as a result of that, plus hanging onto Pressfit BB. Cocalis makes some great bikes, but it's absolutely not worthy if that hassle. If you're a one bike person, YMMV.

[toast2266]

^^^ that.

If I'm gonna buy into a semi obscure standard, there needs to be a clear benefit. There's no clear benefit to superboost. It was conceived to achieve better clearance for plus tires around front derailleurs. I don't run front derailleurs and I don't run plus tires, so that benefit is lost on me. They try to justify its continued existence by talking about wheel strength and bracing angles, but boost wheels are plenty strong and stiff, as evidenced by the fact that a lot of DH bikes have gone to boost / 148 spacing.

Also on thread topic, for those with little ones, Cleary Bikes is going out of business and running a 50% off sale. I picked up some 152mm cranks w/ 24mm spindle for $80, which is probably best I've seen outside Alibaba.

Looks like it's tied to email addresses now. Was working just fine for me a few days ago when I tried.

super boost is a small pain (I own two Knollys) but deciding mtb purchases based on projected future viability of any standard is a loser’s game.

Pretty sure that Endorphin is on mega sale because it’s dual 27.5 and comes with lower end parts than the typical buyer of a semi-boutique nerd brand wants.

Sorry, anyways, on topic, Jenson has some Orange Stage 6 Evo’s for 2200-2600 if you’re interested in something weird (but boost).

No wicked sale here.
Just wondering what people's go-to online shops are.
I don't find Amazon is too reliable for bike parts because they farm it out. And if I have an Amazon alternative I like to take it.
I probably get 80% of my stuff from Jenson and Universal Cycles. For hard to find parts, nobody beats Universal.

My secret online deal is Northwest Bicycle. If you create an account with them, they give you 15% off everything, all the time. Free shipping over $50 like most places. They seem to be basically a storefront drop shipping from QBP out of Nevada, so tons of inventory.

[Huskier]

Anyone in the down country market there's a shiny Large carbon Spur in GX build sitting in front of Ride Bikes in Issaquah today that looks pretty lonely. $3000 flat. Grey. I would snag but already have one. And still, I thought about it... Great bike

Reminds me of the old Niagara Cycle that was basically a QBP webstore with a small physical shop to be legit.

I don't know about getting actual nice parts, but that was THE place to go for buying stuff to restore and flip rando bikes in college without buying in bulk. Random brake and shift cable with housing, some generic pads, two cheapo tires, and you'd be out like $20 total and have some old Univega bike flipped to a college student for $200.

edit: I just checked and the last order I ever made from them was one of those Wald seatposts that lets you fit a normal saddle clamp but fits into a schwin 13/16" seat tube. Thing was $3.99 and the seat rail clamp was $2. That was 10 years ago, but Amazon wants $16.50 for the post and $12.68 for the clamp.

Order before that had a 2 stainless brake cables for $1.68 each, some Sunlite 27x1-1/4 road tires for $5 each, and matching tubes for $2.50.

Damn, that's a deal! What size?

Thanks for the tip, never heard of them. Prices look pretty Jenson-esque but if they really do 15% on most stuff that is a pretty good deal. I normally shop at Jenson and Universal as well for same reasons as others stated. But aside from the occasional deal, neither's prices are great.
