Obligatory lmgtfy. Since Dan here has one of the most detailed and transparent explanations for his optimization process.

Sure. We clean new chains, process them to smooth all the pins, plates and rollers, then wax them. Our wax also contains friction modifiers.

The micro surface process eliminates all the micro peaks thus extending both the life of the chain and reducing friction.

FYI - it does matter if you are trying to get gravel cranks versus road/tri. The Shimano GRX is wider so is not compatible with their standard road/tri stuff.

Hunt has 20% off some wheelsets https://us.huntbikewheels.com/collections/black-friday-hunt-bike-wheels
.

Scored some Primal gear for 50% off, including 50% off some sale stuff. Primal has been the best fit I’ve found, the last 20 years.

I wonder if TrainingPeaks offers discount on their training plan
.

Aquaman :
55%'till December 5th for US customers on Aquaman website, code blackfriday2022, and a free swim buoy with every wetsuit
.

Sole has all their treadmills on sale:

I don’t have any personal experience but have a coworker who likes his (F80) and have read some good things on this forum about these being a decent budget option.

I’ve had a Sole S77 for about 1 1/2 years now. Solid and works well. Previously had a True, which was a tank, but it died after around 8 years of use.

I saw last years thread get bumped but figured we might as well make a new one for this year. Mods - feel free to add/edit things to this post if you want. I might try and pop in and add deals if I see them

Pactimo - 30-65% off
Pearl Izumi - 25% off
Castelli - 25% off
Asics - has a spot where you can sign up for Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal access which says is 30% off almost everything
Roka - seems like they have really shifted their focus to eyewear (which is on sale). But their wetsuits and swim skins are ~30% off
Huub - on the USA site they have a tiered sale (but 2 items, get 20% off, buy 3 get 30%, all the way up to 6 items and 60% off…code is 2for20, 3for30…etc)

Bikes

Quintana Roo - you also have probably seen the sidebar ad - sale on their bikes, frames, and wetsuits

Check out the 4iiii and Stages websites. They both have sales going on but not sure what their current stock is

Anyone know of deals on Garmin Varia Radar? Without Camera? DC Rainmaker shows a normal sale price, but I’m interested in a true Black Friday deal.

I just got mine from R2 for 95Ć¢ā€šĀ¬. Like you, I’ve been waiting for a deal on it and at this price it’s the same as my local used ebay listings.

I really wish you would do this with 12 speed sram chains. Not sure if same process is achievable but I would definitely buy!

We have done some 12 speed.

I’ll bring some in and see how they sell.
Which model do you think is the best?

Process time is about a week.
