2024 11.11 / Black Friday sale planning

[dumbmachine]

What is the next best sale after 11.11 (i.e after November)? I don't have enough things to purchase right now, but would consider it over waiting a whole year.

Black friday around november 27.

Ordered KMC 12spd Aurora chain, MZYRH oil slick pedals (Vault clones), a ton of Risk oil slick bolts, Tito Ti stem spacers, Bucklos valves, 2 sets of Cooma Gold metallic brake pads, and the ZTTO DR390 wheelset, $282 after tax total.

Stocked and ready for a Tariffic AliExplosion.

I got a Power meter (Magene P505) and a computer (GEOID cc600)

I caved today… Got ER9, a Lexon 24mm crankset and few other items.  Stocking up a new build next year.  Based on prices over the last month, I saved between 150-200.00 overall.  Almost pulled the trigger on some carbon wheels but I couldn’t find what I wanted.

I picked a Ceccotti RF25 gravel frameset in white and a Magene power meter. I also picked up two XD cassettes, a Pass Quest 1x aero chainring and few small bits and pieces.

All the items I wanted were significantly reduced and I used two different coupon codes versus using one coupon code. I found the pricing ended up being cheaper that way.

My wife says it's technically not "saving money" if I'm actually buying stuff I didn't need

I know what you mean….  Next year’s build is gonna be a departure from my more race oriented frames (not that I race).  Dr. recommended that I start riding more of an endurance style frame to relieve pressure on the back.  Got the wife on board, so now I just need to sell a bike or two.

20 inch wheelset, 26er fork, two larger purchases to hit one of the coupons as yet.
Next lot to hit another coupon - chains, Ti bolts, fishbone cables, misc spacers, etc.
And one last (and probably biggest) for a 700c wheelset from GoZone for "just in case"!

You actually tell your wife what you buy? My wife just wonders why strange packages arrive every week!

That breed of rational women sounds dangerous as well as promising.

I had a set of 21mm ID Go-Zones in my cart.   So tempting.  I decided to wait until I settle on a frame and get something with 23mm ID for a little more.

I am liking the specs, wish they had free shipping though.

One change that I am seeing this year is no "3 off every 30" discount. If I remember correctly the limit was $9 per order - not a biggie if you were going to spend large amounts but nice for under $100 purchases coupled with regular coupons.

What 26" fork did you grab?

Finally decided to pull the trigger on the P505 Powermeter. The cheapest option includes the Z-race cranks and a BB, lol... so that's what I went with, and had to get a new chainring to go with it, lol.
