Agree, there are better places to save weight. Punctured on 2 out of 3 rides since fitting Michelin ultralites, just not worth the hassle.0 -

Never trust Tesco. A case in point above and another below.
Red peppers 20-30p depending on size in the Turkish stores in Stoke Newington, 75p in Tesco.
Also try their 'Finest' West Country Cheddar. It's revolting. And I love mature cheddar.0 -

Turned up today - wow - it's bling (shiny silver Castelli script on the sleeve) but beautifully made
I have one of those and i agree it's a beauty but alas it too hot for the commute.
Well what do you know, I put my on last week only to discover the stitching on both sleeves looks like its falling apart :? which is worrying as i've only worn it a couple of times, a quick email to Wiggle and a returns number has been issued.
You've got to hand it to them, their customer service is second to none.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

That would be disappointing - especially if you miss the offers on the Assos Airjacks in the meantimeROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0

To be fair, Wiggle have the power to make Castelli cough up if things aren't well made enough. It's just the way it is.0

Nah, ITB spends more on Castelli than Wiggle do, they just dropped his name0 -

lastant, says "Subscription offer only valid on a 12 month minimum term. Gifts not available to overseas subscribers.", so I'd guess not."Mummy Mummy, when will I grow up?"

Just bunged a pair of those onto my helmet. Not used them yet this year as they are pretty pointless unless it is actually dark but they are certainly worth having. Good price too - I think I got mine from Ribble to bump an order up to extra discount level.Faster than a tent.......0 -

Re: above iPhone case, FWIW, the reviews on Amazon are quite discouraging.

I won't be buying one, due to a self imposed restriction on spending, but if I were to buy an iPhone mount it would probably be this one based on what I've read to date. Here's a good review. http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/cycling-accessories/tigra-iphone-bike-mount-review/
I have no affiliation to either LC or Buyapowa by the way, I just thought it was a good deal worth sharing.
