Someone on the defensive ha ha. I think the reviewers who posted their opinons know well from first hand experience. Just because a brand is well known and has had a good run of good products in the past it doesn't mean every product of theirs is good, every company has experienced a junk product in their time. I will hold judgement until mine arrives but several reviews do say its poor quality hence why I only gambled on buying 1. Phone and tablet holders are notorious for being crap especially if mostly plastic.
Minoura is well known japanese make producing bicycle accessories since 1933 but some experts here knows better XD
If somebody told you to jump off a bridge...
I was happy to see this deal then cancelled immediately after reading the review :D
need a couple of these for the spin bikes but not impressed with the negative reviews. May chance one and make up my own mind and return if needed

Yeah I've one of the Aldi ones too
Yes, if @jerrysimon is referring to the HOMCOM one, that seems anything but robust. I have one from Aldi that looks very much like this one and can recommend. Sturdy and storable.
That one had done really poor reviews. I can't recall hearing anything bad about these ones
There's a bloke I know that would love one of them, think the name would suit him.
Ordered this last week and used it on the weekend and it works brilliantly. Its worth the money id say.

I've got a very similar one that I've had for years. The plastic has broken yet but I keep knocking off one of the feet that is pushed on and keep meaning to superglue it on. These are more of a permanent setup but I feel they are more stable that the type with extendable feet because the bike is directly over the feet themselves. Mine flexes more the heavier the bike (obviously) so its better with lighter bikes. I do clamp the top tube all the time depending on bike because if its cheap bike with a thick straight gauge top tube then there isn't a problem and it balances the bike better but if you have a lightweight frame the top tube is often where they save more material so the top tube will be butted with thin sections or just thin with CF. The top tube is under compression between the headtube and seat tube mainly so its a logical tube to save some weight. I bought another at this price and when I completed it the purchase it looked like it went out of stock yesterday. This is actually cheaper than the one I bought before and looks like it has a few small upgrades. I think I paid £17 or £18 delivered before.
Just turn your bike upside down
How did you even try and attach your bike to it? Did it not fall straight off?
Chinese cheap plastic, incredible! I had an eBay 'Shimano' derailure that did exactly the same, (annoyed)
I would of thought an ebike would be less than 30kg

Thanks for your informative posts. On that note, please can you recommend a 2-3k ebike that is a good alrounder? Thanks
Wow gatekeeping much lol doesn't matter how much money you have doesn't mean after a certain point you become brain dead and start throwing it away actually it should be the opposite more money you have more responsability and sensibility of your finances, you don't stay rich by spending nonsensically. So yeah you should be on HUKDs no matter how much you're spending.
You did 43km/h whilst towing your daughter in a trailer? (confused)
Very much disagree with this. Being on this site doesn't mean you're struggling or poor, just that you want to save some money. There's TVs and laptops posted here that cost thousands, are you making the same comment on that? For me, my e-bike is my main form of transport so a key part of my life, being able to save that much on a new one is amazing.
All top flight road bike racing teams and the overwhelming majority of top flight XC and Downhill riders use carbon frames and put many more times more stress through their bikes than Joe Public does. That is indisputable. Recalls are not necessarily about durability but about manufacturing defects. Any item of any material made badly will fail. You've stated that one repairer has said that some frames cannot be repaired. Are you stating that any and all frames made of any other material can definitely be repaired? If not then the point still stands, carbon breakages are not necessarily irreparable and metal frames are not necessarily frames for life.. I put in a couple of smileys to inject a bit of levity as it's hard to not sound harsh when countering someone's opinion online. However you have chosen to jump straight in with the personal insults because I've chosen to disagree with you or show an alternative view. I think that throwing stones from within your glass house is a distinctly risky move. How much of your claim is from personal experience of the various materials? Have you owned and ridden steel, alloy, carbon and Titanium frames in harsh environments or are you just parroting what you've read on the Internet? On the subject of batteries above there you start with "I don't know" so we'll just leave it at that then.
Bike: Two Wheels Good
The bike, or bicycle as it otherwise known, is by far the most popular and most widely produced vehicle in the world. Great for sport, recreation and fitness, bikes are also used by courier services, military, and police for work. Today, there's a whole wide world of different bikes available, at a wide range of prices. The choice can seem overwhelming, which is why we've compiled some of the best deals to be found online, here at hotukdeals, to help our customers make an informed choice.
A beautifully simple invention, the pedal-driven frame with two wheels has become iconic in itself and the bicycle's basic configuration and shape has changed very little since the first chain-driven models were created in the late 19th century. There have, however, been many improvements on the small details, even more so since the technological developments of the 20th century, such as plastics and computer-aided design, have taken hold. These developments have allowed for the improvement of specialised designs for different types and styles of cycling. The invention of the bicycle has had a huge impact on society, both in cultural terms and in terms of advancing modern technological and industrial methods.
The Different Types of Bicycle – The Pros and Cons
Road bike – Designed for travelling on paved roads at speed. Road bikes are built for endurance rather than fast bursts of speed, and as such they usually feature large numbers of derailleur gear combinations, narrow tyres and a lightweight frame.
Pros:
Agile and light, designed for speed.
The "over-the-handlebar" position allows for maximum leg power and an aerodynamic shape.
Tall, narrow light wheels reduce friction on the road.
Cons:
Not as hardy as a mountain bike.
Slow riding is difficult due to the high gear range.
The seating position can become uncomfortable for the rider's wrists and neck.
Mountain bike – Also known as All Terrain Bicycles, these are designed for cycling off-road. The features include strong, wide gauge treaded tyres, highly durable wheels and frames, and a cross-wise handlebar, which helping when riding over bumpy terrain.
Pros:
The sturdy frame and small components are made to withstand a lot of wear and tear.
The suspension allows far more control as the tyres remain in contact with the ground.
The geometry of the frame gives good traction to steep climbs and loose dirt or mud.
Cons:
Heavier than road bikes, and it is tougher cycling uphill as a result.
The suspension takes some efficiency away from the pedal stroke.
The smaller wheels mean more rolling resistance.
Commuter bike – These are designed specifically for the daily commute over short or long distances in cities and towns. The typical commuter bike features 700c wheels with light tyres, derailleur gears and a carrier rack. A properly equipped commuter bike also features front and rear lights for use commuting in the early morning or evening. Some commuter bikes are also foldable, which is great for those who lack space at work.
Pros:
Good all-rounders, combining speed with durability and comfort.
A great way to exercise and lower your carbon footprint.
Perfect for everyday use in towns, cities and even between villages in more rural areas.
Cons:
Not as tough as a mountain bike.
Slower than racing bikes.
Can sometimes be on the heavy side.
Single speed bike – These bikes have just one gear and are designed for cycling relatively short distances, over relatively flat terrain. With some single speed bikes, the pedals can, or sometimes must, be pedalled backwards to slow down, in lieu of a brake attached by cable to the handlebar.
Pros:
They require less maintenance than more complex, multi-geared bikes.
Having fewer components makes them more a more affordable option.
The low number of components also makes them fairly lightweight.
Cons:
The lack of gears means riding uphill will be more difficult.
Not as versatile in terms of the terrain they can be ridden on.
Low power output and pedalling efficiency.
BMX bike – Standing for “bicycle motocross“, the BMX was originally designed for BMX-racing and is now used in park, street, dirt and flatland racing, as well as the famous, BMX Freestyle, where racers push the stylistic limits of the sport. The BMX has had something of a cult status in popular culture since the 1970s.
Pros:
They are an affordable choice, at around half the price of a mountain bike.
Lightweight, transportable and fun to ride.
Not too much servicing or maintenance is required.
Cons:
Not great for long commutes to and from work.
Less comfortable than commuter bikes as they weren't designed for "in-saddle" riding.
Going uphill can be arduous.
Cyclocross bike – Specifically designed for cyclocross racing, these bikes are designed to endure the rigours that the race demands. Cyclocross bikes look very similar to racing bikes, with the major difference being the geometry of the frame and the wider tyre clearances that a cyclocross bike has.
Pros:
Highly versatile. You can ride it on dirt or pavement.
Relatively inexpensive when compared with mountain bikes.
Great in all weathers.
Cons:
Heavier than a mountain bike.
Not as aerodynamic as racing bikes.
The brake power is somewhat diminished (unless you have disc brakes).
Electric bike – With an integrated electric motor used for propulsion, which is powered by a rechargeable battery, the electric bicycle, or e-bike, ranges from those with small motors which merely assist the pedal-power of the rider to those with more powerful motors which lean towards a more moped-like functionality. The key factor is that electric bicycles all have the ability to be solely pedal-powered, and therefore, they are defined as electric motorcycles.
Pros:
Cheap to run, costing just a few pence to charge the battery fully.
Quicker, safer and more controlled than pedal bikes and with faster acceleration capabilities.
Fun to ride and no need for a license or MOT.
Cons:
They're a more pricey option starting at around £500.
Heavy to pedal or push when the battery runs out.
The higher cost can make them a potential target for thieves.
Kid's bike – A bike fuels a child's imagination in many ways, allowing them to explore their environment. Designed especially with the needs of small children in mind, children's bikes come in various sorts, ranging from balance bikes, which don't have brakes or pedals, all the way up to replica racing and mountain bikes on a scaled-down size.
What You Need to Know About Road Bikes

Getting Your Head Round the Parts of a Bike
When you start looking for a new bike, you'll soon begin to encounter a whole world of jargon and terminology and it can become a little daunting. Here's some information about some of the main specifications of a bicycle's component parts.
Frames – The skeleton of a bicycle and a part that's largely remained unchanged since the bike was first invented. The frame can be made from a variety of materials, including hi-tensile steel, aluminium, carbon fibre, titanium, or even more unusual materials such as bamboo or wood.
Forks – The part that connects a bicycle's front wheel with its frame and handlebar, therefore allowing for steering.
Gears – The mechanism that moves the bike's chain, mostly using a cable, between the sprockets on a chain ring or sprocket assembly.
Brakes – Essential for slowing down, there are various types including rim brakes and disc brakes, which are operated by levers, and coaster brakes, whereby the rider must pedal backwards to operate them.
Wheels – The metal spoked parts that give a bike movement. Some bicycle wheels are “quick release“, which allows for removal and attachment without using a spanner.
Tyres – In most cases, bicycles use inner tubes which are glued to the rim of the wheels and then inflated. Tubeless tyres are, however, becoming increasingly common.
Handlebars – Attached via the fork to a steering tube, to let riders steer and to provide space for accessories and controls.
What to Think About When Buying a Bike
If you walk into a cycle shop or search online and it's very easy to quickly find yourself lost in the sheer number of choices. There are some factors to bear in mind, and questions to ask yourself when buying a bike to ascertain whether or not this is the right bike for you.
What sort of rider are you? – Be realistic, but don't underestimate yourself either. Are you a recreational cyclist or an enthusiast? Will you be going cross country or travelling in urban areas? The more you know when you go to make a purchase, the better equipped you'll be to make an informed choice.
What's your budget? – The price of bikes can range from under £100 to way up above £10,000 for very professional models. If money is no object, then that's great, but for most people getting a good bike at an affordable price is an important factor. When you know what you'll be using your bike for, it's easier to shop around for a good deal.
Get the right saddle – This is another important factor, not just for general comfort when riding but also for the health of your back and neck. Cycling, especially over longer distances, can be uncomfortable with a saddle that's ill-fitted to your shape. Women and men have differently shaped pelvises, so saddles are ideally different for the sexes. It's also important to adjust the saddle to your height.
Pimp Your Bike – Accessories for Your Two-Wheeled Friend
You can really make the most out of your bike by choosing the right accessories for your tastes and requirements. There's a whole world of accessories available for your bike, ranging from safety features to maintenance and repair, to storage to the purely aesthetic. The appropriate accessories also depend on the type of bike you have. Some of the main ones are listed below:
Baskets – Great for commuter bikes or single speed bikes, especially if you don't want to carry a bag while you’re cycling.
Bells – Good for alerting pedestrians who aren't paying attention to your presence.
Helmets – A very important accessory and, in the case of an accident, a potentially life-saving one.
Lights and reflectors – It's illegal in the UK to cycle without lights on a public road in the hours of darkness. While this law is not always policed, they remain a very important and common sense safety feature to have for your own protection.
Hi-visibility jackets and strips – They may not be the most stylish accessories, but you'll definitely be seen in the headlights of any passing cars after dark.
Locks – It's important to have a good lock as, unfortunately, bikes are common targets for opportunistic thieves. Many cyclists, in fact, have one for each wheel.
Child seats – For carrying the little one safely and securely on your bike.
Kick stands – Helping to keep your bike upright when parked.
Toe clips and straps – Designed to keep your feet in place on the pedals, preventing slippage.
Cycling power meters and cyclocomputers – For measuring the rider's power output and calculating trip information, respectively.
Tool kits – Specialised, portable tool kits for basic repairs and maintenance, often including a thin wrench and a puncture repair kit.
Save Money on Your Next Bike or Bike Parts
From specialist bike retailers to major supermarket chains to online retail giants, there's a wide range of sellers online who stock a variety of different bicycles. One of the UK's best-known bike and bike accessory shops is Halfords, and they're always worth checking out when it comes to anything bicycle related. In the last fifteen years Wiggle has also become a major force in UK bike retailing. Supermarket turned retail giant Tesco stock a range of bicycles, as do the UK division of Walmart, Asda. High street favourite Argos also provides bikes at good prices, and of course, you can also find a wide selection at online retail behemoth Amazon.
While there's no official "best time" to purchase a bicycle, there are certain times of year when you can save money and get a good deal. Every year in September (or around that time) most of the major bike manufacturers release their newest models. Many bike shops will be looking to clear out the old to make room for the new, meaning lower prices. It’s a good option if you don’t mind having last year’s model.
You can also get a good deal on a new bike during the traditional (and also the more recent) annual sales. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas and the January sales are all good times to look because not only are the retailers competing for your custom, the winter is the "off-peak" season for cycling and many bike shops are simply looking for business.

I know this will be controversial because Continental do some fine tyres but I'd say the Halfords inner tubes are better. I got a inner tube from them in 26" size which I think was 2.1-2.5 and the quality of it was great. I think it was a rebadged Kenda tube and pre-talced. That was £4. This Continental tube claims 1.75 to 2.5 which means at 2.5 the tube is quite stretched and more vulnerable to punctures depending on thickness. I think if you are planning to use this with a 2.5" tyre then I would choose something else. I've found Continental tubes to be ok tubes nothing more. I think some of them are sourced from CST.

Agreed. Not great tubes unfortunately. I've had a number fail on the seam and the around the valve.
Agree, have purchased these a few times, easily punctured and quite often inflate with a bulge. I avoid these now and tend to wait for Schwalbes to be going at a decent price.
Got these tubes before and had nothing but punctures. Best stick with the Contis
Got the last 26" 2.1-2.6 but they have another last one :/ don't think they like doing deals (annoyed)
Reviews are a let down

This would be better I think as slightly more sturdy and simpler 1x gearing. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9308435 However Argos bikes can come with quite a rough setup. You will need to check spoke tension, grease bearings, ensure everything is tight etc but a good solid bike for those mechanically inclined. Also being steel makes ebike conversions easier and safer. If you have to bend something a little bit not really a problem with steel.
Only good for flat road journeys
Any good as a starter for an E-bike conversion?
Any good for flat road journeys
Given this is made of steel instead of aluminium, would this be better for a fat lad just starting out vs anything posted on here recently?

when I saw 'hybrid' and from a shop called ' ebikes' I thought this was some sort of manual/battery powered contraption. It had me interested! but it seems not :(
Any good?


Looks very decent for the money. Also the disc brakes are road disc brakes so have the same pull ratio as road brake levers. Typically this might mean slightly less stopping power but still very good and also means you could get something like Microshift 2x8 road brake levers/shifters and some drop handlebars to convert to a road/ light use gravel bike if the geometry works for you. The fork is aluminium and straight blade so you really would want to keep to thicker tyres with the tyre pressure adjusted to your weight for the maximum suspension effect as the forks could be harsh with thinner tyres. Really nice looking bike and I would say the weight is very competitive for what it is. Shimano Claris shifts very well and is very long lasting groupset typically. A possible upgrade would be a 11-34T cassette which the derailleur should handle no problem. Might even cope with more not looked at the spec but I wouldn't of thought you would want a wider range unless you went to 1x.
Blimey only weighs Weight:Medium: 11.63kg hold me back
Its all money that doesnt need spending. Not to mention expensive problems when they need fixing. Not to mention the weight, of which there is no mention so one can assume its a lard bucket perhaps? My 21speed dawes with v brakes could stop on a 6p......6p wots that!! lol
Disc brakes have greater stopping power than rim (v )brakes in wet weather and off road use were mud is involved. You can always upgrade with better hydraulic set up once the disc pads wear out. Yes, the bike has got some cheap parts on but all is upgradable .The alloy frame and forks would be light-ish an would make a decent commuter bike with mudguards slapped on
Never had any problem with v brakes apart from the odd squeal easily resolved. Discs on bikes unless for professional use are fools gold and the cheapies are crap.


I'd definitely have to agree with the poster above the Vitus Mach 3 looks a great choice. If you want something a little more off-road capable but without front suspension the Carrera Subway is a good option at Halfords. It's basically a mountain bike with rigid steel forks and an ideal everyday workhorse commuting bike and general purpose bike.
Take a look at the Vitus Mach 3 deal posted on here 3 days ago maybe? No experience with that bike, but it looks pretty good for the money to me.
Can u recommend any good value road bike. I dont like drop handle
It's an absolute superb mountain bike for the money with a very well judged spec but if you are only really riding on the road and very light off-road use then its pretty pointless. The gearing isn't ideal and you'll be hauling an un-necessary suspension fork everywhere and having to maintain and service that fork. Saying that you see plenty of people who ride mountain bikes as everyday commuting bikes.
If you're only ever going to use it on roads then there's probably better options.

Blimey guys check out the GT Bikes. A great old brand that used good components. Silly prices cheap as chips though they alls eem to have an aversion to putting weights and proper frame sizes grrr
Must get there one day....................ah if only.
That's Windermere. You can probably rent a canoe nearby, I pedalled a short distance from a cafe.
Im too old to adapt. I want the old school back. I must I will have it.......stamp stamp. Wow check that place out, where is it and where is the canoe parked up?
Sounds like you just need to adapt the gears you have. An old 21 speed doesn't have a significantly wider range than many modern 1x set ups. I'm currently riding a 25 year old (I mean right now - see pic, I've stopped to post this) with a sticky front shifter so effectively the bottom set don't work). It's fine for most purposes.

Fitted front today as the bike arrived early. Went to fit the second, 29er...
The 27.5x2.2 were oem and no 3c or exo logos either. Compound seems grippy though so should work well for UK gravel:)
Mine have just arrived, white. They do seem quite light on grip.
The high rollers have far more tread/grip, I have one too May try that if the ikon isn’t great
I'll either be keeping these or using some high rollers I also bought at a discount on here a while back.

Well it ought to be at £140 more expensive!
Get a drill attachment :)
Haha! You waste precious seconds catching up. While you're still dialing to feel more resistance, the instructor has moved on to something else (excited)
36 turns wow an arm workout as well Its about 3-4 turns for every 10 Peloton resistance but you will forget where you are when the going gets tough.
Thanks very much for this! (y) That actually helps. Mine is 36 full turns. I'll be able to work out a chart... after I've managed to sort out the seat issues (:I


Careful opening yours! I just got mine and they are the battery version but I ripped open the packaging already. Pain in my Swiss but Amazon might be cool about the return. kramer2088 23/05/2022 18:07 Now a lot more expensive. Seems to be the same price to me so going to reorder.
Now a lot more expensive.
Didn't realise CatEye are a Japanese company If these are made in Japan then that's awesome! Although they could have been manufactured in China and then Shipped from Japan I guess. Battery life on these is meant to be quite a bit worse than the battery version according to reviews Also according to reviews we may get the battery version But a bargain price Cheers OP
Thanks was looking for backup lights
Same here Decided to faff around with a piece of paper between the batteries after use, a bit like the sticker in place when brand new, to break the circuit on the batteries - seemed to help

I see what you did there. Very witty.
If you buy this be repaired for repairs and delays getting the device repaired. Reebox are cheaply made and built.
It has a shelf at the bottom of the screen.
No holder for tablet or phone?


I'd personally do a mid-drive motor conversion and make use of those three gears! Don't like the sound of a hi-tensile steel fork though. Sounds rough
Not the worst I have seen, biut not the best either. Gumtree will have something better, always get challenged on this https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/new-giant-contend-2-road-bike-mens-large-new-unboxed-/1431593116 is one in my area. Gumtree is not a shop so it wont have what you want right at this moment in time but keep looking.
I read that review as well. My immediate thought was that it was written by somone who didn't know how to put a wheel on a bicycle.
Not viable gearing in Sheffield
Great bike for commuting, etc. Fantastic reviews at RRP (£429.99), an absolute bargain at under £300. If I didn't already own a hub gear city bike I'd be all over this. https://road.cc/content/recommends/vitus-dee-vr-city-bike-nexus-2021-288069 https://road.cc/content/review/vitus-dee-vr-city-bike-nexus-287853

Yes, very true. It's all about materials and groupsets etc. I was just been silly 🙃
I've seen many threads on hotukdeals regarding sports direct bikes and some have been awful and some have been fantastic value over the years. You take each deal on a bike by bike basis. A few years ago a lot of their Muddyfox bikes were coming from fuji-ta who also make many of the top brands, Cannondale, Scott, Bianchi etc. Yes they were lower spec generally but still very decent for the money. A brand is just a brand and most bike brands don't manufacture themselves they rely on factories like fuji-ta to provide their bikes and you as a consumer have to decide whether that is a good product for the asking price based on its specification. Just because its got a good brand on doesn't make it a good bike.
Hybrid perfect for those living in cash strapped council areas with poor roads. My kid used to have a hybrid pinnacle before they grew too tall and was excellent in mud (tractor debris) splattered lanes . Heat!
Doesn't ‘Sports Direct’ own Pinnacle now? If that's the case, it doesn't matter what the name is it will be shocking!! No electric pun as it's not an e-bike lol XD
A lot longer than that. I have a hybrid bike dating from the late 90s. I can remember the term being used for the Raleigh Pioneer range when I was looking for a new bike in 1990 so it was in common use by then. I also have a hybrid ebike but as you say, that refers to the style of bike, not to the presence of a battery and motor.
Reliant Robins! Reliant Robins.
Must have purchased my fleet from wish.com then.
OOS but Green and White available: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161281609512?hash=item258d220f28:g:an8AAMXQ74JTVDJl
