Parker International are not using Wiggle-esque lightning delivery speeds, grr...0
-
Edit - Parker International are RUBBISH. Today - 6 days after my order - I get two emails (one to my inbox, one to my spambox, oddly) saying BOTH my orders can't be completed as they've sold out. Hopeless! Now I need to call them up and a) find out what and b) try and find alternatives. Quickly - recommend me mid-to-high end gel mitts you absolutely love!0

Now these choices may come as a surprise but:

You could keep the fingers and sell them on ebay later as multi-season gloves.0 -

Thanks Jon, but the pro gel Castellis (sold out at Wiggle) were exactly the ones I was after... Sigh.0 -

My bibs shorts and top were pure heaven on yesterdays scorching Dragon Ride sportive who would have thought such a tiny bit of padding could be so comfortable, like having your bits gently cupped by a silky smooth hand or something :roll:Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.

Got email from Wiggle today, aparently they cannot ship C02 outside mainland UK, so rethink required on C02 pump
Has anyone used this alternative from Chain Reactions
SKS Airgun
If Chain Reaction throw in some Haribo it might seal the deal“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

Does anybody know of a cheap pressure guage? Preferably pretty small but not essential. I've got a great one for schrada(sp?) but I'm having difficulty finding one for presta that isn't about £200

Thanks pllb and everyone - Winstanley also don't have them in large. But in any case I ordered the Rosso Corsas in black yesterday from Wiggle although a) there is a problem with my credit card and b) their site is down. :roll:
I also ordered, since it's the thread for it, Arsos cream, a wireless cadence Strada for the fixie, some Nuun tabs, and a Lifeline chain cleaning kit.0 -

If you mean you have to have balls to ride pink Ultremos, you could be right. Especially if they are R Evolutions - look out for bulges!... and no idea ...
