Bargain from Halfords

Did all Halfords branches have a clearance on Saturday, or was it just my local one?

"No Reasonable Offer Refused", the sign stated.

So I picked up 2 Cool Tools, 2 Crank extractors (to go with the cool tools), 2 sets of cantilever
brake blocks, 2 Shimano 7 spd cassettes, 1 can of GT86, 1 tube of Finish Line grease, 1 bottle of
Finish Line cross country lube, and a swiss-army-knife style allen key set.

All for a tenner.

I had a big smile on my face.

Love and bargains from Rich x

My local has:

33% or 25% off bikes at Halfords and other offers
- on selected bikes

Also get a free cycle carrier (£69.99) when you spend £200 or more on 1+ bikes.

... and get £50 of free accessories when you spend £200 on bikes (can't be used in conjunction with
the cycle carrier offer)

(I think) 25% off 2001 model bikes - Carrera etc.

All the offers should still be on tomorrow. I am a bikehut monkey god i hate sunday's We
just sold our last minoura wheel jigs today, then went down to a tenner in the week guess who

Halfords is great for stuff that is discontinued.

On the subjects of discontinued and Halfords: Do they still do those multi-strand elastic luggage
straps? (Lighter and more flexible & versatile than ordinary bungies, although not as strong).

Also (very long shot this): any branches have any Bassano Comfort Gel saddles left? (Actually padded
with foam rather than gel).

No, they seem to have been having a sale for a couple of weeks now - or at least the York superstore
has. Suspect it's some sort of big clear-out prior to being re-branded (with the new orange/black
company ID replacing the old blue/white). My local branch has been offering Airborne frames with 200
quid off - seriously tempting....

Yep, I regularly call in and get bargains.
E.G. Camelback Rogue £20. This week 1.4 kg High5 £7.50 (£14.00 at LBS). Polaris shorts £17.99 (£35
list) and so on. The other week they had some Hope XC disc hubs £25 front, £45 rear but I had
to let them pass, no dosh :-(

Thanks. Halfords don't list all their products on the website, unfortunately.

Well there you go:could it be to get you to go there a la decathlon? or ikea or avery builders
merchant i could mention. A tenner, I just spent £2 short of that on a Swiss allen key thingy,and £1
more than I could have got the same thing the previous day with Raleigh rather than Scott on (the
price of having the right lables!)
