    I got a Whisper and the GF got a Vacuum, each for €25 in Halfords in Tallaght last weekend (she needed a new helmet after a spin, I couldn't leave one behind for that price!). We had looked in Liffey Valley previously, but the ones there all seemed a bit shook, and there wasn't a whisper in my size in any case.

    What sizes did they have in stock? I'm only around the corner and could pop in in the morning....

    It's as if they got a delivery of Catlike helmets by accident, so they decided to keep them and sell them off cheap. It is bizarre in a way.

    Every time I chat about possible incoming stock in any of the major out-of-town multiples (notably our Halfords' near neighbour, PC World), I get the impression that's pretty much how it seems to the people working there, too. They hear nothing from HQ; big lorry backs in, and offloads a bunch of stuff on them; they manage as best as they can with it.

    I tried to pick up one of these catlike helmets in swords and Coolock and they didn't have the size I needed so ended up in euro cycles airside and they had these Lazer genesis helmets reduced from €170 to €68 so I got one of these and though it was worth a mention.
    Seems like a really nice helmet.

    Can you remember what they had size wise for the Whispers in Airside by any chance? Would appreciate it.

    RSP quest helmet 8.39 (plus delivery) on Planet X and on one. Not sure if they're any good or not, but might be worth it to someone.

    cheap to get decals in any color on ebay... Easy to replace. I got the reds myself and will be replacing them with white.

    I didn't include delivery, sorry might have been confusing. I'd have said inc. delivery otherwise. Might be worthwhile if buying a couple of things.

    and €40 for a Shimano freehub but still a great price. I bought a set of Zondas last night, I'd have gone for the Elites if I'd known they were that price.
