Good Luck

I just bought a cree torch back from a trip to Japan. I am amazed how powerful it is.

After last night's commute, I've just popped into the chandlers to buy a rudder.

Canny Jock

Seeing as I just went to the airport using my commuting rucksack as hand luggage, and forgot to take the tools out, I will now have to buy another one of these:




They picked it up on the X-Ray machine, and wouldn't let me take it through (fair enough) but also didn't have a way of me picking it up on the way back At least they let me keep the pump.

Going to be checking ebay to make sure the guy doesn't list it!

Any better/comparable but cheaper options?

@ Canny Jock

Ouch! After a compensatory alcoholic drink (or 4) my commiz. Sorry, but no practical suggestions to make.

They are good, but are not waterproof

I had icy water in mine this morning! Wear thick merino socks if its very cold and wet so at least you will have warm wet feet

Chrissz

Just ordered these today




The rest will (hopefully) follow next pay day

Yeah i found that out last night. I reckon they would be if you had overtrousers on, but i dont roll that way.
I'm thinkin of spritzin the neoprene collar with some spray on proofer, see if that helps.

I've got a similar Northwave pair.. they're waterproof except for the big hole where your feet go in... so you end up with wetsuit effect around your feet

waterproof socks might be a decent addition to aid super toasty toes?

I find that as long as I stretch the ankle grips of my bibtights over the top of the boots they keep the water out. My bibtights are water-resistant, so the water going into the boots is minimal.

If it's really hossing it down then sealskinz are your friend for warm, dry feet.

I'm very tempted by some winter boots, getting tired of wet feet and no one seems to srock decent overshoes in my size... new thread time!

Yeah I did this but my tights aren't water resistant. They could be though couldn't they :idea: 8)

Tomorrow morning i'll be buying a new winter frame + forks - enter bike number 8, i'm planning a 10 speed winter work horse.

I decided to find out if expensive cycling clothing is worth it and liked the look of Gore stuff. Wasn't too horrific at £42.99
