The tough times within the mountain biking industry shows no signs of abating, and as the effects of Wiggle/Chain Reaction Cycles entering administration continue, Chain Reaction has just added its decade-old flagship store in Belfast to the casualty list, and will close the doors next month.
With the flagship store closure, Chain Reaction now has an ‘Everything Must Go' sale at the Belfast store, as the brand looks to shift remaining stock and claw back as much cash as possible. On the CRC website, there is also a massive up to 70 percent 'Warehouse Clearout'.
As sad as it is, seeing some of the best mountain bike brands products that CRC sells being reduced to almost giveaway prices, the harsh reality is that as mountain bikers and consumers, it's well worth grabbing some of the best mountain bike products at these bargain prices while they are around, and every little helps in the current financial climate, for CRC and ourselves.
Chain Reaction has now added an EXTRA10 code on selected items, that when added at checkout gives a further ten percent discount, so be sure to look out for that. I've had a look over the deals at Chain Reaction and highlighted a few standout bargains that I'll be taking advantage of myself and suggest you do the same...
