Mountain biking, or just cycling in general, is an expensive hobby so here's a handy feature to help you save a few pennies. We've just launched a new deal finder widget on off.road.cc, complete with a search feature, you'll be able to find the best money saving deal on that bit of bike related or sports kit you are most in need of.

You'll find the new widget on the right-hand side of your screen if you view the site on a desktop computer, it'll be at the bottom of the page after the comments section on mobile and for those of you on iPads it's on the right of the screen too in landscape orientation. 

The deals you will see will be predominantly mountain bike or off-road specific deals but use the search function and it will bring up anything vaguely cycling or sport related be it a book, some new triathlon gear or a pair of running shoes. 

As default the top deals available online will appear in this sidebar with the retailer details and the price, just click the 'Buy Now' link to be taken to the site and the deal directly. To refine the deals you see, simply type into the search bar, as you can see above we have searched for 'helmet's and the top deals appear below. You can also search more specific items such as 'shimano cassette' and get the top deals, listed in order of savings. 

Don't forget to check out Deal Clincher for a weekly round-up of the best deals we've seen, happy shopping!
