    yes, I did mean cycling kit...
    lol

    I'd noticed the break line... I'll get them (Leisure lakes) to sort it when I take it back for a service!

    C4S is a bit lardy.... the 4WD weighs it down! :wink:

    If the weight made that much difference to me, I'd have my fillings removed! :wink:

    They just look a bit naff, offroad.
    If you're using your bike on the road they may help to maintain a more visible profile, though. :wink:

    I'll be using it to cycle to and from work.... plus lots of off road hopefully... :twisted:

    I am a car driver and I know how small cyclists look on the road...

    So I think I'll keep 'em..... To quote the supermarket... "every little helps!!!" :shock:

    They're also just extra bits for you to clean after a muddy ride.
    Something to bang your fingers on when cleaning your wheels and spokes! :evil:
    Or, are you not planning on cleaning them? :shock:

    but you can only really get it muddy again if you have cleaned it afterwards.

  • That's just reminded me....

    In true engineering style, I've owned my car for a month, it was pretty dirty when I bought it, I've done a few long motorway runs and driven through some gravelly carparks in the wet........... and I've still never cleaned it.

    I have however cleaned the engine bay!

    I don't have a picture of me sadly but here is my oh-so naff Carrera Vulcan '06 (sorry for the quality - took it on my phone)

    About 9 on in Brook Woods, hence the reason for the lights being on. :lol:

    I am also from Doncaster, Wheatley, but a Wednesday fan :D although not that happy today..followed Rovers for quite a few years until they got too big for their boots, been to all finals in recent history starting at that conference cup ages ago. Never thought they'd be anywhere near Wednesday in the league though!!

  • Hello all, I'm Tom and i live in London. I've recently bought a Kona Kula which i absolutely love - i've ridden it every day since buying it. I've been riding for years but recently got back in to it, riding near by and looking to get in to the Surrey hills and the Downs on a regular basis and start some XC racing at some point! I'm doing the Coast 2 Coast later this month!
