I don't understand why such things aren't actually built in to so called quiet coaches. Mind you, they won't deal with the more serious problem of the crappy little iPODs. Surely, in a quiet coach, it is legal to carry a pair of scissors for the purpose of headphone cable snipping?
Cr@p earphones that leak yes, not the ones I have.0 -

Moral of the story - find a good deal, buy it, wait a day, post it?0 -
I'm not really that upset. No, I ordered once someone had shared that discount code.
I thought £20 for one pair was good, and was going to wait til I got home, then the code went up that essentially made it 3 for the price of 2 so I ordered at lunchtime, apid by paypal, then got an email the next day (i think) saying I'd been refunded.0 -

Saw these jerseys, but wonder what quality they are like?
Also wonder if 100% merino is going to hold up after a few washes, filling the pockets and stretching them etc?
I've got Sportwool made jerseys but wonder about the practicalities of 100% merino?0 -

Bought mine on a sunny day in July. Same thinking. They were like hen's teeth last winter. Not put them on yet, they hang on the garage wall, in wait.0 -

I read that as "wa*ker tyres" at first
I've got to say, I could definitely do with a CX bike for the winter
the skinny wheeled Ribble might not hack it if it gets frosty, and I've got pretty much no choice with tyres. 0 -

Rubino regular have wire beads (heavier) and also have fewer TPI in the casing (more rolling resistance and less pliable)
Rubino Pro have better rolling resistance and are lighter.
Rubino Pro Tech have added protection for the sidewalls, so in theory are a bit tougher.0 -

We're trying to get one on the staff discount scheme, but we've gone from having a glut to sold out in the space of 5 minutes. Should be more in the system soon. Not sure Play has discounted its stock yet, so they might be worth watching them...FCN 3 / 40
