REI Black Friday turbo trainer, components and clothing deals
Elite Direto XR: was $1,000, now $599
This smart turbo might lack some of the refined qualities of its more expensive sister trainers but we found it still a great value-for-money package when we reviewed it last year. We found it responsive and power readings reliable.
Tacx Neo 2T: was $1,400, now $1,119
This is one of the most realistic feeling smart trainers on the market right now. When we reviewed it we found, "The cobble simulation actually feels really quite realistic."
Wahoo Fitness POWRLINK Zero Single-Side Power Pedals: was $650, now $519
We tested the double sided version of these and were very impressed. "They are durable and super reliable, both in hardware and software terms," we wrote. The single sided version is a great way to get much of that data at a cheaper price.
Thule Helium Pro 3-Bike Hitch Rack: was &499, now $399
This three bike rack has Thule's HitchSwitch which allows you to tilt it down so you can access the trunk of your car while it's still on. Built with aluminium it's lightweight to make it easier to mount and remove.

REI has a bunch of Rapha stuff discounted but most is not available in a full size run, like this. It's great option for high summer cafe rides or gravel adventures.

Having trained as a journalist at Cardiff University I spent eight years working as a business journalist covering everything from social care, to construction to the legal profession and riding my bike at the weekends and evenings. When a friend told me Cycling Weekly was looking for a news editor, I didn't give myself much chance of landing the role, but I did and joined the publication in 2016. Since then I've covered Tours de France, World Championships, hour records, spring classics and races in the Middle East. On top of that, since becoming features editor in 2017 I've also been lucky enough to get myself sent to ride my bike for magazine pieces in Portugal and across the UK. They've all been fun but I have an enduring passion for covering the national track championships. It might not be the most glamorous but it's got a real community feeling to it.
