Bloody hell , wasn't expecting a free bag :shock: I certainly didn't get one with my dhb R1s.


Now I'm wondering, what could you possibly want a bag for? Shoes are either going to be on my feet or on my shoe rack. :?

Colour?

I bought a white pair a few weeks back. No box with mine as ex-display, but do have bag, spare insoles/instep adjustments.
Will wait for dry warm weather before attaching cleats. They are lovely though, and incredibly light.

White I think I might put on the black laces instead of the white ones.

I've also bought some gore bike wear arm warmers, £10 on amazon.. then immediately after I bought mine the price shot up to £23 which is more like what they cost at other websites. lucky I got in when I did

indyp

I think they look good either way, white or black. There are brighter colour laces sold separately for extreme bling

Vaude team bibshorts:

Gore 3\4 bibs:

Before I send back the Gore Bike Wear Universal 2.0 Arm Warmers to Amazon, is anyone interested in them at the price I paid + postage. I managed to get them for £10.20 which was half the price as anywhere else and after I purchased them they went back up to £23+
They're a small but warning I wear small clothes and couldn't get these up my arms. It's like a Chinese small or a kids size or something.

These turned up today, £90 down to £17 from Amazon, in one of their weird price drops that then immediately goes up.

Seem very nice for the money, and a fairly decent pad, probably about spot on for a £60 pair of shorts.

There are some nasty red bits down the side, that I was unaware of, but these will be turbo trainer fodder for the summer anyway, so don't give a monkeys - will try them for size later on.

A second Assos Mille Intermediate jersey from CRC as they're £97.

Or in the back of the car while driving to a ride?
Or in your suitcase while travelling to a cycling holiday?
Or in hotel room?
Or in a locker at work?

Mine is on a peg by the door, and also holds specs & gloves. Shoe rack? Is this mumsnet?

Mine are on the floor 6 foot from the sofa where I thrown them after taking them off.

There are currently at least three resident pairs of cycling shoes that have not once found themselves into our shoe cabinet, In fact they generally have to be moved out of the way to access the shoe cabinet.

Plus wellies , school shoes, running trainers (EPO) and all manor of other shoes that never make it into the shoe cabinet, which is just a glorified key and letter holder.

Pactimo Summit Jersey.
https://www.pactimo.co.uk/collections/m ... 9994738828

Currently 80 quid down from a hundred, then had a 30% off code and £5 worth of loyalty points.

Got high hopes for these as the shorts and other stuff I've had from them have all been superb.

wolfsbane2k

2 x Jagwire complete pro road cable set for £23.10 each at Halfords (not including BC discount and gift card 10% reduction) , price matching blacks of all places.

Considered one in red, to antagonise some sensitive souls on here, but went 1 gray, 1x black instead.

vimfuego

Some reasonable stuff on sale at Hope Tech (if you like green)

acquired a new gilet for £37 :



And a new beverage wrench (well why not):

Will it slice through shoes as well? Better hope Owain Doull doesn't come round for a mineral water - it'll have his leg off

DMT Libra for £45

They are white. Good luck keeping them clean.

asprilla

A couple of Crank Bros Iodine 2 stems in 80mm and 100mm flavour for the TT bike.

Getting stems that will fit in the 'pocket' is difficult, as any protrusion of the bolts is an issue. The only stems I've found that fit are:

- Oval Concepts 760 - difficult to get hold of and usually around £100 for something that is only aero in name
- Pro Evo Missile Stem - How much?
- Tririg Sigma X - Ver expensive and very only available from the US

So, I'm left with an MTB stem which uses a wedge in front of the steerer rather than bolts behind, but a £25 a pop they are a fraction of the price and should to the job.

Besides, not even sure if I need a change yet so this lets me try them out for little money.

Met Rivale from Wiggle (last one in large), £54.88 down from £109.99:



Decided for a change from Kask...

Pleased to hear it - I noticed the reviews claimed it sized up incredibly small?

I just ordered this

Yes, I am usually on the M/L borderline, so I bought XXL and it's a pretty good fit

daniel_b

Ta, ordered a medium. Assuming it does not seem/feel like a £150 jersey, half that perhaps?
Pleased with the overall quality?

Is it a jacket or jersey :?

Not ridden in it yet, but it feels similar to my castelli windstopper (but not quite as good). Two zippered pockets at the rear, warm around the neck good fit allowing for the size discrepancy and proper Gore windstopper material.

Only reservation is the lack of reflectives on the back. I'm not a fan of the ninja look.

redvee

A Lezyne MacroDuo light for £30.

The_Wicker_Man

Speedplay Pave Stainless Steel pedals from Mantel for £215 down from £285.
Wahoo Elemnt from Sigma Sport for £200 down from £250.
