Bad picture from the wrong side I know but it was about to rain and I didn't want the new toy to get wet :oops:

I've got an S6 105 in Liquigas colours & it grows on you though.

wiggle gave me a free sachet of those shakes in superberry flavour. I'm saving it for the end of the week when I'll be needing it most!0

Funnily enough that was the flavour I went for first, Didn't quite expect them to be as tasty as they are! Really really good.
Not something I'll use often but quite good for days where I have ridden more than usual (28 miles for charity yesterday and had a shake after) then ride the next day. I do 15 miles round trip to work each day and the legs get a bit tired at the end of the week.0 -

+1. Only I stupidly didn't read the description properly, so ordered a size 42 (which I thought was UK size 8 for some reason) by mistake. Realised too late to change the order, so have now paid £11 in postage on top of the asking price. Mmmmm... value.
Bought some Look cleats too.0 -

A 42 was always a UK 8, but recently I've noticed a lot of cycling shoe sites list it as an 8.5.
All my trainers are a 42 / 8.

That's why I ordered the wrong size as I assumed 42 = UK8. That's not the case with Wiggle dhb shoes, apparently. Who knew?0

Nor with Sidi. I was looking at some tri shoes on ebay and they were listed as 42 or UK 8.5.
Have UK feet got bigger, or continental ones got smaller?Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

Shoes over the internet is probably the trickiest thing to get right - now that I know Northwave fit me, I feel confident to buy them online, but I had to get a pair to try on first.Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...0

Going to sell the Kona Dew Deluxe now I have bought this.
Saw it on Tuesday and had to buy it. Told I couldn't get hold of 52 and would have to look online as they are sold out. Found it at Billy Bisland Cycles. Ordered straight away.
Currently in Bermuda with work but can't wait to get home.+++++++++++++++++++++

If you click the 'description button' it does give the sizes they recommend you order(just realised youv'e said that already), but it should be made clearer on the item photo.
Mine haven't arrived yet, I have noticed my recent Wiggle orders are being delivered much later than they used to be, maybe they are cutting back on costs :?

There's a separate thread about that particular Wiggle issue - apparently they've had a bit of a mad rush due to big events and the good weather tempting people to dust off their cleats and get out and ride!Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...0

I'm all set to get one but waiting on a C2W voucher with no idea when I'll get it0
