I have email from Magellan that it takes 45 days for the HRM. Not sure if they meant business days ...

Ribble has code show10 for 10% off with its usual exclusions. Bit of a croc because a lot of their prices went up 10% a couple of days ago!

Didn't they what! Pulled the trigger through the week on an Ultegra 6800 groupset,cost me $729 once I'd configured it how I want. Today the exact same setup is $821! :shock: Glad I bought when I did. :)

Woohoo!

The 4603 groupset for my commuter build arrived yesterday. $14 less than 10% off the current price. I win! :shock:

I've been starting to diversify away from Wiggle due to a decreasing range and a real slip in their shipping standards. Recently made a couple of Ribble purchases to try them out again, and paid less than their newly jacked up minus 10% prices. This sort of practice to artificially inflate prices doesn't go down well with me, so I'll be giving them a miss in the future.

Bear in mind currency fluctuations.

Its hardly Ribbles fault (or all other online overseas retailer) that the $AUD has seen significant falls and any increase in an overseas retailers prices could simply be a result of the currency. Manufacturers may also be increasing prices so in effect it could be a double whammy. It seems a bit unfair to suggest dubious pricing strategy without further evidence. What was the increase of the items when displayed in GBP?

What are the implications if the seller is Australian but not an authorised Ortlieb reseller?

well if there is a warranty issue, he's more likely to screw you because he won't want to send it back to wherever he got it from. dealing with an authorised seller should have connections with the official supplier (but this is how price gouging occurs, and funnily enough, even warranty issues).

you're still protected by the fact he's allegedly local (ABN - which hasn't been active long). for me the alarm bells is that this is all he is offering in terms of products, nothing else. looks like either a uni student making some cash on the side, or a counterfeiting scam. ebay is next to useless for selling and buying in terms of accountability in some cases.

considering pushy's has back roller plus for 199 + their usual $20 off, it was cheaper than his prices and more security.

i'd make another point but i can't because even mentioning his ethnicity is deemed racist on these boards. so i'll leave you to do your own investigative work there.

Apologies if I forwarded a bad deal.
I've no connection to the seller but merely saw the link whilst trolling the Ozbargain site.
I'd be mortified to learn I'd steered anyone wrong.

no no, it's not necessarily a bad deal. i just say, buy with caution. if you're going to buy. as always, check prices against others and weigh up the savings if they're worth it.

Hi guys,

I bought and received mine from the ebay seller, the Ortlieb Back Roller Plus Q2.1 in lime/moss green from him, as the Pushys ones were slightly outdated Q2 system in colours that didn't suit the bike I'd hopefully be using it on ;)
All seemed My only gripe was it was sent with Officeworks Mailman freight, rather than the Australia Post listed, which meant when I missed it, was a 35min drive to get it, rather than a 5min leisurely cycle to local post office.
They weigh 790g each side, while doing a spring clean I happened to weigh all the luggage I had. Ironically the CrMo steel Tubus FAT rack carrying them rack weighs 1180g ;)

PS: DSE have the Cyclo 500 for $145 again today.

PPS: eBay now has 15% off up to $100... so you could get those Ortlieb for $170 now :D

You'll just have to ride (or drive) to the store. :lol: I don't believe they sell online.

Pushys did have it for $149.99:

Annoyingly out of stock. Castelli jackets are real quality items too. I have a Garmin one from a number of years back that is still good. Really warm in winter.

I bought a pair of LG Windtex Eco Winter gloves, and they immediately became my favourites. Great fit, surprisingly warm yet no clammy hands.
Comparing them to my Pearl Izumis, they are much more comfortable and appear to be well made. Can't comment on durability though, as I've only used them one Winter.
