you can print out a template from the XENA website so you know which disclock will fit your brake rotor best.
XX14 for £60 from http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/ did the job

Don't forget to lay a few land mines,bear traps and booby traps haha
I'll buy the Xena than, biking isn't cheap
Certainly not to get going, it feels like you just keep buying and buying to get started!
It can be cheap if you go 2nd hand on kit, plus once you've got the kit it doesn't generally break for a good while (if you buy at least semi-decent) and bikes can be very cheap to run depending on what you have, your standards and how much you can do yourself. You can do a lot yourself if you get yourself a Haynes manual and spend some hours tinkering.
Hahaha, don't tempt me!

It certainly does, but things which I bought such as the almax chain will last me a bit longer and I won't have to buy this stuff again for my next bike.

I was gonna buy a Xena but I didn't like the reviews I was seeing. Plus I like the big-ness of the Oxford Boss which hasn't gone off in heavy rain like my JDC one does.I'll buy the Xena than, biking isn't cheap
I started off buying cheap new stuff on ebay because I wasn't sure whether this biking thing would be for me, now that I've been at it for 8 months and summer finally hit I bought a load of used stuff on ebay.
It's surprising how much new and barely used stuff is out there. Earlier this year I bought a new 2M Oxford XL chain for £44. I recently got a new Hein Gericke Sheltex jacket for £25 and new-ish Spada boots for £35, well pleased with that and a couple of pairs of textile trousers for £30. Never thought to check charity shops though.
I'm already ordering from http://www.motoin.de/ , I don't really have time to look around for used/2nd hand stuff. I'll do my search whilst looking for 1 piece leathers when I get 2nd bike, I've owned a bike previously and I find it fun so its alright to buy what I want.

No, I haven't. Can I get the 5.25% and 7% or just the 7% off?
Caporegime

Caporegime

you can only use one site,so go with the one that offers most off,you'll pay a fiver for admin fees for first year with quidco (but they deduct it off your cashback)

What courier should I use? The shop is based in Germany, I can choose between DHL Shipping £ 5.58 and UPS Shipping £ 6.28
Caporegime
don't the uk one offer free delivery?
unless its still cheaper from Germany inc shipping,no idea? dhl is cheapest

This is the cheapest I could find, helmet is £30 cheaper than any other retailer and rest gear is about the same. I read the reviews of this site and its legit, I always do a small research for best prices, with 7% off it'll be £258.
I'll go with UPS, used them before and they were quick.

oh ok then,yh go with whatever ones cheapest inc shipping
Ordered, with the cashback it comes to around £258. Thanks Wazza for the Quidico, saved me some £££'s
Edit
So roughly I've saved £150 by buying online, the price difference is shocking tbh. That's my almax chain right there, just from the saving
