This JoeBlow is accurate up to 160psi and fits all valves. It's comfortable to use and has a flexible hose for versatility.

With winter on the horizon, and the nights drawing in, you'll quickly find yourself spending a lot more time cycling before the sun is out and after it drops. If you haven't already got a set of front and rear bike lights, now's the time to invest. The type of riding you do will determine how powerful a light you need, and with some great deals out there, you don't have to spend too much to get something decent. We've found a front and rear set available on Amazon down to just $17.99 from $24.99.
With the well known brands, powerful bike lights can be very expensive, but the TioyFiuy front light emits a massive 1200 lumens, which is plenty for even the darkest roads.
Get the front and rear light set for only $17.99.

The best road tyres can be an expensive business, and with winter riding coming, you can pick up some great deals, so you're stocked up for next summer. One Amazon tyre deal that caught my eye is on the Michelin Power Cup TLR tyre, discounted to $64.47 from $88.99.
Michelin's Power Cup TLR can easily challenge far pricier road tyres for overall performance, like the Continental GP5000 S TR. The Power Cup delivers matching real-world stats, speed, and value. Especially at this price

Over to you Cat...
Described as a formidable competitor to Garmin and Wahoo, the Hammerhead Karoo 3 has 19% off, down to $427.12 from $525.
The Karoo offers next-level user-friendliness, and we thought the display was as good as the best smartphones in quality. Mapping is one of the main deal breakers for a bike computer, and the Karoo has that covered easily with claimed best-in-class navigation.
Get the Hammerhead Karoo 3 bike computer for $427.12; it's the best price of the year
The best cycling socks can cost up to $60 or more, and they may seem like an afterthought, but they can deliver real wattage gains, marginal, but gains all the same.
These Rock Bros aero socks are available for just $11.99 a pair, a 20% saving on the usual $14.99 price.
The Rock Bros aero cycling socks are equipped with multiple breathable knitted meshes and designed with an ergonomic fit. Available in white or black, grab them while you can.

I'm heading off shortly and will be leaving you in the very capable hands of Deals Writer Paul Brett. Before I do though, let me point you in the direction of this sweet little Prime Day deal on SRAM compatible brake pads from Top Brake.
You might have read my recent piece about brake-based trials and tribulations, and I'm determined not to get caught out again. With a 20% off deal on these SRAM HRD compatible pads (double check that they'll fit yours), now seems like a good time to invest in those all important spares.
Get the deal: Top Brake Disc Brake Pads for SRAM / Avid (was £19.95 now £15.96)
If you've had enough of that familiar roadside rigmarole whenever you get a puncture – i.e. bent over at 90% and having to administer 200 strokes of the mini-pump, it might be time to join the electric pump revolution. Like a lot of these things, it can take an accessible financial window in order to make it happen. Such as Amazon Prime Day!
There are some great deals on both sides of the pond – though not always on the same items. Check out this little list – with the best discounts at the top.

Hoto electric pump – was £59.99 now £37.99 (37% off)

Autumn might be an odd time to think about adding to your sunglasses collection – unless you want to pick up a great deal, of course. There's also the fact that shades often come with clear lenses, which are perfect for winter.
Check out this super deal on Oakley Jawbone glasses from Sigma Sport. It's a solid 36% off – that's £80 to you and me. They're down to £140 from £220 and come with Prizm black lenses as well as those clear ones, so they should suit you year round.

Matt has spent all morning and then some rounding up some great deals – some of which have improved already. So let's take a moment to look back at some of the best of them.
The Lego Icon Bike was already at its lowest ever price of £88. Now it's down to a full 25% off, at £82.99 in the UK. Lego Icon Bike
UK temperatures are still holding up amazingly well, but it can't last forever. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, winter is definitely coming, which means, for most of us, so is indoor riding season. There's a decent Prime Day deal on the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 with Zwift Cog and Click. £100 off in the UK, and $150 off in the States. Check them out:
UK deal - save £100 on the Wahoo Kickr Core 2
US deal - save $150 on the Wahoo Kickr Core 2
If you've been considering trying out TPU tubes but have been put off by the extra expense over standard butyl items, today could be the time to give them a go. Here's a great deal Matt found earlier - 51% off a Pirelli Smartube in 23-32mm.
And finally, if your toolbox has been looking a bit drab of late, there's a great deal on these coloured Wex Allen keys. Ball-headed for accessing those tricky bolts, and colour coded for ease of use, they're 28% off and down to £28.25.
Let's begin with a nice 16% discount on these industry standard Apple AirPods Pro 3.
The latest iteration of Apple's long-running AirPods series, the Pro 3s have active noise cancellation, a hearing aid feature and live translation, as well as the superb sound we've come to expect.

My final post of the day. I'm handing over to James, our features & news writer, in just a minute. Before I head off, I wanted to bring you one last deal here in the UK.
The classic, dare I say iconic, coloured Wera Hex-Plus Allen Key set is heavily discounted on Amazon UK right now. Wera does come on discount, but they can be a little hard to find. If you buy nothing else today, treat your bike and upgrade your Allen keys; it will thank you.
Here is a surprise offer for you.
Oakley has discounted nearly its entire offer of Sutro glasses down from well over $200, to just $152.25. It's not currently one of our best cycling sunglasses, but it's well regarded, and a 25% discount on Oakley isn't to be sniffed at.
Slightly tarnished and very used RockBros Vintage style bike bell
My colleague and fellow deals writer, Paul, put together his top 25 picks from the Sigma Warehouse Clearance Sale last week, and it's still running and very much worth checking out.
Sigma always have good sales and often has the best prices; however, this particular sale seems to be another step further, and the savings are incredible!
Okay, so the Lego Icon Road Bike is really cool. However, it is pretty enormous at over 1000 pieces, and even at its reduced (UK) price, it's a hefty investment of money and time.
Right now, there is only one other Lego set that has a cycling focus, and being a mountain biker myself, I think it's pretty cool. At just under 300 pieces, it's more manageable for your wallet and time, and for your desk space too.
Really, much of the build is in the camper van, but overall it's a pretty cool little build and an affordable Christmas gift; think Secret Santa or stocking filler, maybe?
It's not currently available on Amazon, but you can pick it up at Walmart and/or directly from LEGO in the UK.
The headline for me first thing this morning has to be the discount on the Wahoo Elemnt Roam 3 & Bolt 3. It's 26% off right now, which I believe is its lowest price since launch.
Tech Contributor said this when he put the Roam through its paces late last year, awarding it 4.5 stars out of 5: "This is an excellent choice for any cyclist who doesn’t want or need to sift through vast lists of proprietary metrics".
Its sibling and favourite of one, Tadej Pogačar, is also on offer: the Elemnt Bolt 3 is 36% off.
Did you know Cycplus also made a budget smart trainer?
Deals writer Paul Brett, spent a bit of time on the R200 Smart Trainer last year, and said to me that it was "pretty good". While it lacked some of the refinement of the premium offerings from Wahoo or Garmin Tacx, it stood up against many of the other budget offerings in the market.
Given it is now just £255, it might be worth a punt this winter, if you looking to get kitted out, or upgrading from a wheel-on unit maybe.
As its just about breakfast time in New York, lets feature our first US deal!
I can't mention my article on TPU tubes without speaking about the electric pumps. I'm part of the converted. My e-pump has replaced 4 different pumps almost entirely. My two mini pumps (one for road, one for MTB/Gravel), my Airshot tubeless booster, and most of the heavy lifting done by the floor pump.
Let's not beat around the bush; currently, Cycplus make the best electric bike pumps! They are all on sale right now! Specifically, I want to highlight the AS2 mini, as it's under £50 for the first time. Bargain!
Last week I wrote an article about how electric pumps could damage your TPU valve; I concluded that it's fine to combine the two if you use the small extender included with most of the best electric bike pumps.
After speaking with renowned Tyre expert Jan Heine, owner of Rene Herse, and Christian Thill from German brand Aeron, both believe plastic tubes have a bright future. Both said that, combined with 'TPU-specific' tyre plastic inner tubes, they could replace tubeless if development continues to stall.
And... there are plenty of TPU deals to snap up during Prime Big Deal Days!
Our guide to the best exercise bikes is one of our most popular, so while we all claim to be cyclists, it seems that for those who have the space, an exercise bike or one of the best smart bikes makes for the best home training setup.
There are a couple of great deals in the Prime sale if you're considering taking the plunge with a static bike this winter. We rate the Schwinn 700IC highly, and while we have never tested the Echelon, we just named its sibling, the Echelon EX-5s, the best overall.
Last week was International Coffee Day, which I claimed should really be Cycling 6th Monument. One of the coffees I featured in that post was from Ueshima; I'm a big fan of their Fuji Mountain Coffee blend. I usually use their Nespresso-compatible pods, but I noticed their 6-bag bundles are now under £20. A real bargain for some genuinely well-roasted beans.
There is no denying that finding a deal on helmets and cycling clothing on Amazon can be tricky. It usually requires you to click into each size and colour, and sometimes even know the RRP, since it won't show as a discount.
If you're patient, you can find some cracking offers. Luckily for us, POC have made things pretty simple this Big Deal Days, with some clearly marked discounts on their Octal, Ventral Air, Omne Air and Amidal helmets.
Autumn so far here in the UK has been rather lovely, and I can't imagine many have taken to indoor cycling just yet.
However, it won't be long, I'm sure!
Luckily, our best smart indoor trainer, the Wahoo Kickr Core 2 w/Zwift Cog, is on discount again. You can save £100 if you grab this excellent trainer now, which matches its best price.
Discounts are available in both the UK and the US!
I'm a bit lost with how many deals are already on offer, and slightly taken aback. While Prime Day always throws up a few gems, at first glance it seems discounts are fairly widespread, which is cracking news!
Here are three quick-fire discounts that just caught my eye in my frenzy to try to get everything up here:
I went a whole hour there without mentioning the Lego Bike!
It largely functions like a real bike, just made of Lego. Its removable bottle and light, fully working drivetrain and best aero bike aesthetic make this a cracking gift for the cyclist in your life or, if you like me, just another want for the list.
It is now at its lowest price of just £88, which is a rare discount on a relatively new Lego set.
For this morning, at the very least, I'll focus more on UK deals while our friends across the pond get their beauty rest.
The deal that jumped out at me first thing this morning is this offer on the Beeline Velo 2; it's one of our best bike computers, and it's always very affordable at just £99. As it is so keenly priced, it is rarely on discount.
So, I'm excited to see it down to nearly £75 - £76.12, to be precise.
The Beeline Velo 2 helped me give up the data and just enjoy riding again at my own pace, and for that I'm very thankful. It let me keep an eye on the time and still explore without constantly being told I'm riding too slowly or that my average speed is down.
Good morning, deal hunters! Just like that, another Prime Day, or, to use its official title, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, is back. The Cycling Weekly team and I will be here for the next 48 hours to bring you the best deals as we find them. I'm going to get cracking on the deals in just a second, but before I do, check out all the deals I've already pulled from the listings above.
There are some absolute crackers. Like the lowest-ever price on the Cyclplus AS2 electric pumps; it's now under £50/$45.
