The Biggest Deals - TdF Special
With the Tour de France fast approaching, the deals have been rolling in!
There have also been loads of bike launches so we'll be keeping a close eye on last year's models.
First, let's check out some of the mega sales!
Tour de France Deals - Wiggle Mega Sale
Every Thursday, Wiggle are releasing new feature deals.
This week, it's Italian brands Castelli and Sidi, two of the best cycling kit companies ever.
As per usual, we've picked out our favourite pieces, but to see the full sale, click here!
Castelli Volvo Bibshorts
These bibs are designed to be the club rider's favourite pair.
They fit a wide range of body shapes and are supportive, giving great comfort over long days.
The Kiss Air seatpad is a brilliant option for longer days and the leg grippers are way comfier than a silicone band.
Castelli Prologo V Jersey
Again, this isn't Castelli's race-fit kit. The Prologo V jersey is perfect for all-day comfort.
It fits close to the skin without restricting movement, making it perfect for normal bodies!
We love the simple design and the range of colours.
Sidi Shot Shoes
Sidi's Shot shoes are their top of the range racing shoes and therefore will be seen on the feet of their sponsored rider throughout the Tour.
Chris Froome will now definitely be on the start line, but will he be wearing special yellow versions in Paris?
The shoes are beautifully made with a super-stiff carbon sole for the ultimate amount of power transfer.
Sidi Wire Carbon Vernice Shoes
The Wire used to be Sidi's top-end shoes, hence the massive price cut.
If you don't mind having last year's shoes, then these are a brilliant pair for racing and fast riding.
The Sidi Techno 3 dials are located on the external side of the shoe, making them easy to adjust while riding. The sole is again a super-stiff carbon piece.
Castelli Free Aero Race Bibshorts
These Free Aero bibs are part of Castelli's race kit.
The fabric is on the legs is dimpled for extra aero savings but the best feature for us is the Giro Air leg gripper.
This spreads the pressure of the gripper over a large area, causing less discomfort, especially on longer days.
Castelli Advantage T-Shirt
An off the bike T-Shirt that only other cyclists will identify as a cycling T-Shirt.
That allows us to pick each other out in public, and then chat bikes. Smart.

Tour de France Deals - Rotor Components Sale
Power meters, chainrings and groupsets. It's all here!
Merlin Cycles are having a rather large sale on one of our favourite component brands.
The full sale includes 60 components, so we've picked out our favourites below.
To see the rest of the sale, click here.
Rotor Uno Hydraulic Disc Groupset
This hydraulic disc groupset is providing the first real challenge to Shimano and Campagnolo in years.
Rotor have worked with Magura on the hydraulics meaning that you're getting seriously good braking.
Unlike the Shimano road groupsets, you get the option of flat-mount or post-mount callipers.
The lack of maintenance associated with hydraulics is certainly appealing meaning that the shifting and breaking won't need much upkeep.
Tour de France Deals - Wiggle Mega Sale
Rotor 2inpower Road Chainset
Buying a power meter is a big investment. Many do it for training, but more people are buying them as accessories.
Buying one that works in poor conditions is especially important for us in the UK! This Rotor 2InPower is perfect for our changeable conditions.
You get independent left/right readings, easy integration with 5 blot chainrings and 250hours of battery life.
ChainReaction Spend & Save - Vitus Vitesse Ultegra 2018
Rotor NOQ-Chainring 110BCD Aero
Those chainrings can be these awesome aero chainrings!
Ok, so the aero benefits might not be massive, but the solid profile gives the chainring more stiffness, improving shifting.
This is the No-Q version, so you're getting a classic round ring.

The components are also brilliant with Shimano's latest Ultegra R8000 groupset providing crisp, light and reliable shifting.
ProBikeKit Tour de France Countdown - Extra 10% off
Wheels are usually a price compromise, but Vitus have included the Mavic Ksyrium Elite WTS as stock. That's a brilliant wheel that can be used for general riding and racing.
34% off CycleOps Hammer Direct Drive Turbo
The Prime carbon seatpost keeps weight lower and the Ritchey finishing kit is spot-on in our eyes.
27% off Merlin Cordite SL Ultegra R8000
At only £1099.99, this re-badged Ridley is a bargain carbon road bike.
The bike gets an Ultegra R8000 groupset, making this an amazing amount of bike for the money.
Merlin bikes have been going from strength to strength. They offer incredible value on new old stock Ridley frames.
The fact that the framesets come from the Belgian manufacturer means that you're getting a high-quality frame at the fraction of the cost.
The Mega Week Roundup - Superbikes, TdF Deals & More
The Cordite SL is a Ridley Helium ISP frameset. That means that the seatpost is part of the frame, making the bike super light!
Over 40% off Ex-Lotto Soudal Bikes
Around the rest of the bike, the finishing kit, brakes and wheelset are all from Forza, Ridley's in-house components brand.
Bikecation Holiday Deals - UK Cycling Breaks
If you've been loving the splendid weather we've been having, maybe it's time to take the bike and experience some of this country's finest riding spots!
The Yorkshire Dales and the New Forest are well known as fabulous places to ride a bike and Bikecation know some excellent hotels in the local area.
Yorkshire Dales
Home to our favourite part of a Sunday roast, flat caps and beautiful rolling hills.
Yorkshire boasts many reasons to visit, but the primary one for us is the riding.
Using the charming market town of Skipton as a base, you can ride climbs like Fleet Moss, Grinton Moor and the Col de Buttertubs, made famous when the Tour de France came to town.
Riding around here can be challenging whatever the weather, but when the sun shines, there are few more beautiful places to ride a bike.
New Forest
When someone mentions the New Forest, our minds are instantly thinking of quiet roads and endless MTB trails.
It's certainly a place for every type of cycling and many abilities as well.
The roads will take you through postcard villages and over rolling hills, though the terrain isn't too challenging.
Heading off-road, you can discover well-maintained trails for beginners through to advanced riders.
33% off this Osprey Viper 13L Hydration Pack
Great for a long weekend ride or a lightweight commute to work.
Osprey are known for making great backpacks. This one gets space for an integrated 2.5L hydration bladder.
If you're out on the trails and you need to refill, the asymmetric zipper allows for easy access.
30% off Five Ten Hellcat Pro MTB Shoes
The magnetic attachment of the mouthpiece to the chest strap keeps everything in place while maintaining quick access.
28% off this Vitus Sommet Carbon enduro/all mountain bike
Elsewhere, the helmet attachment means it won't be bouncing into things when clipped to the bag.
