Chain Reaction Cycles has had three weeks of its Black Friday deals, and the retailer has been adding new ones each Thursday. Now we’re moving into Cyber Monday and the discounts aren’t letting up.
To help you pick out the best, we’ve had a look through and have highlighted the ones that we think offer really excellent value – based on the knowledge and experience of our tech team.
With each product is a ‘Buy Now’ link. By clicking this link we will receive a commission from the retailer – but this does not affect the amount you pay.

Only 165mm cranks are currently left, but a shorter crank can help you get more aero – so maybe now is time for a change over…
MET Trenta Road Helmet
