Welcome to Cyclingnews' Amazon Prime Day (sorry, Big Deals Day...) live hub. While our Amazon Prime Day Cycling Deals page has all the best buys in one place, it does take us a bit of time to keep it ticking over and updated.
As we search the world wide web and unearth products that are 1) actually good, and 2) with a decent discount, we will drop them directly in here so you can see them immediately. Be sure to check back in to see what we've unearthed throughout the day.
Garmin Edge 1040 smart computer:$599.99 $479.99 at Amazon
20% off - The cheapest this powerhouse bike computer has ever been, according to our notes. A really great buy for anything from performance road riding to long-distance touring.
Le Col Aqua Zero Long Sleeve Jersey: $330 $132 at Amazon
40% off - A softshell jersey that has some water repellancy. Perfect for high tempo wet weather riding to keep you at the right temperature.
100% S2 Sport sunglasses: $139 $75 at Amazon 46% off - A popular pair of cycling glasses, and available in a pretty wide range of colour options too, though discounts may vary. If you want the best deal stick to this clear/purple arrangement.
Amazon Prime Day: The best UK deals
Apple AirPods Pro 2: £229.00 £179.00 at Amazon As cheap as the best in-ear headphones that Apple makes have ever been. They've been this low before on previous Prime Days, but no lower, so it's as good a time to grab a set as it has ever been.
Cateye Orb bar end lights:£19.99 £13.99 at Amazon
30% off - We love these bar end lights here at Cyclingnews. Inexpensive, easy to fit, and make you look a lot wider to cars coming up from behind.
Garmin Vívoactive 5 smartwatch:£249.99 £214.02 at Amazon 14% off - The cheapest it's ever been, with a tonne of health and multisport tracking features to measure every aspect of your active lifestyle.
I was sceptical, but having actually played with these mini Cycplus pumps I'm something of a convert. They'll easily get to road tyre pressures without you having to put any effort in at all besides remembering to charge them, something which can't be said for many mini pumps.
20% off - Tiny, but mighty. There's no screen so you have to pump by feel, but it is genuinely easier than using a hand pump, and more portable too.
Incredible base layer bargain
It's not every day a piece of tech gets a 10 year long service medal, and even more rare for a piece of clothing. By a lovely turn of fortune though the base layer I've used every winter for ten years (except a little bit lighter, so better for riding) is markedly reduced.
100% Merino, hardwearing, warm, breathable, stink free... I love mine so much I made a whole page for it. It's still in such good nick I wouldn't be surprised if it lasts another ten years!
43% off - Hardy, cosy, soft, and breathable. All adjective that have been used to describe me in the past (ok, maybe not breathable), but in any case Icebreaker makes my all time favourite base layers, and I still use mine for a load of things through the winter, not just riding.
26% off - Just the same as the mens, but a different shape, and handily in black, which goes with more things. The discount is annoyingly not the same though.
🚨 🚨 Bonkers waterproof sock deal 🚨 🚨
I am a huge fan of waterproof socks, especially for winter gravel riding where overshoes just get shredded. They are quite expensive usually, but I've doing a pair of Sealskins ones with a HUGE 62% off, in the UK only.
They're listed as 'warm weather' but don't let that fool you. This means they're just less bulky, so you wont need to size up your shoes or compress your feet, and as long as you're riding at a decent intensity the vapour barrier will keep your toes toasty.
UK - Sealskins Scoulton Waterproof Warm Weather Sock with Hydrostop: £35.00 £13.30 at Amazon
62% off - At full price I can see why you'd struggle to justify buying them, but for 13 quid you'd be mad not to if you ride in the wet.
Tool Time
My colleague Tom was a mechanic in a bike shop for years before becoming a fully paid up member of the bike journo illuminati, so he's got a real eye for tools. He's pulled together some of his favourite tool deals for Prime Day, but the standout one - for the UK at least - is a pleasantly discounted full Feedback Sports toolkit.
Perhaps an ideal Christmas gift for someone in your life who's struggling on with a multi-tool...
Feedback Sports Team Edition tool kit: £300 £254.99 at Amazon Pro-spec, but portable enough that it needn't just be confined to the garage or shed. It's got more or less everything you need for most home maintenance jobs.
Sometimes Prime day doesn't throw much up, but sometimes we come across products that are so good we'd buy them at full price. The Magicshine SEEMEE 300 is one such product. I love it so much I wrote a whole piece about it, but again for the time-strapped among you I've just plonked the deal below.
It's one of my favourite lights, has amazing battery life, solid mounts, and some added features that make it such a good buy.
27% off - Even at full price I think this is one of the best bike lights out there. Bright, long lasting, easy to fit and charge, and even flares up to act as a brake light and can auto-dim too.
20% off - Not as good a deal as in the UK, but still an amazing buy in my eyes.
Thirst-quenchingly good deals
We do try to find deals that aren't just cheap tat. Josh, our associate Editor, raves about his Camelbak Podium bottles every prime day; so much so he wrote an ode to them given they are on sale yet again.
If you're lazy (no shade) I've plonked the deal blocks below.
22% off - Cooler and even larger, the 24oz Podium CHill should keep your frozen margarita frosty for ages.
Please don't drink and ride, I'll get in trouble.

I think we've shouted about these lights every Prime day and Black Friday for the last few years but they remain such a good buy that I'm going to keep it going today as they have once again been reduced.
Basically they replace your bar ends. Super simple, easy to install, with a solid and two flashing modes. For a pretty cheap sum you'll appear a lot wider to cars coming from behind you. I run a set on both my long term bikes all winter.
Cateye Orb bar end lights:£19.99 £13.99 at Amazon
30% off - Simple, cheap, safe. Always a good buy.
I know protein is key for muscle growth, but after a hard session when I'm exhausted and thirsty the last thing I want is a big, thick, lumpy, creamy protein shake.
Recently I've discovered clear protein. If you've an aversion to normal shakes then give this peach tea flavour option from Myprotein. I'm not going to tell you it's delicious, but it goes down a lot easier than vanilla that's for sure!
Myprotein Peach Tea Clear Whey:£22.79 £15.99 at Amazon
30% off - Far more appetizing after a hard workout, especially in the heat (i.e. turbo time) than thick creamy options. The best discount is on Peach Tea flavour, but there are a TONNE of other flavour options.
GOOD MORNING!
Will here, Cyclingnews' Senior Tech Writer and for a few days a year one of a crack team of deal hunters. Today is Prime day... again. Or 'Big Deal Day' as Uncle Bezos is insisting we call it. Whatever you call it, there are a tonne of things discounted on Amazon for 24hrs, as long as you have a Prime membership (just get one and cancel it after if you don't).
Our main hub has all the best deal in one place, but I'll be driving this live blog for the day, and as soon as we find something that's decent I'll drop it straight in here so you'll be the first to know.
To kick things off, here are a few that have caught my eye from the UK...
DJI Osmo Action 3:£289 £169 at Amazon
42% off - A genuinely capable action camera that rivals a GoPro. I've used the slightly newer Action 4 for a while and it's super easy to use, with a great app, and plenty of really good accessories.
This bundle comes with spare batteries, a chest mount (the best mount for riding shots), and a backpack strap mount too.
POC Omne Air MIPS:£122.99 £97.49 at Amazon
21% off - This is my daily helmet. It's great, comfy, well ventilated, and has MIPS protection. It isn't going to match a dedicated aero lid for speed, but if you aren't a watt watcher then it's a really good buy. The discounts vary, so have a root around on the colour and size front.
Cateye AMPP500:£39.99 £18.49 at Amazon
54% off - I use the slightly more powerful AMPP800 for commuting, but I use it on low power. For getting around the city only the 500 is perfectly adequate, and this is a great light even at full price. With over half off it's a real steal for continuing to commute in the darker days.
