    So mine have arrived and whereas the arms on yours seem to sit flat on the table, one of mine's lower than the other... Bit disappointed but can't complain I s'pose. They'll stick do the trick, they'll just be slightly wonky. Unless I can work out how to bend plastic. :| If anyone's got a straight pair and wonky ears, I'd be more than happy to swap. :shock:

    That's a shame! they do sqeek a bit when you bend them, so maybe don't try too hard :lol:

    I'm tempted to wear them on the way home, but might be a bit much for the commute :lol:

    BTW, those High Five bottles at Probikekit are pretty horrible, with hard plastic nozzles.

    Can't really beat the SIS bottles IMO.

    Totally agree with that! I always buy a new one at the 24hr races, when you get free refills all race :lol:

    SiS were giving 2 bottles away at London Revolution this weekend plus all the gels, energy bars, electrolyte, etc. at the start and end of each day and the pit stops. There was so much they were struggling to give it away at the end. Somehow I seem to have acquired enough to stock a small shop :lol:

    I can't quite believe how they can get away with it! Even says made in USA, and Jawbone on the inside!

    It looks like they have been removed from the website as the link no longer works. So maybe they can't.

    I'm thinking of getting a new pair of glasses but £100 for the proper ones seems just a bit steep.

    I know, I am disappoint.

    If it's any use, my tracking info didn't change after telling me it was seal sealing. Just turned up.

    OK, the seal sealed on Friday. How long did it take after that?

    Seal sealed on 14/05. Turned up 21/05. RMAed as soon as I take a pic of the wonkyness. I wonder if they'll make me post 'em back or just chuck another pair in the post for me?

    So has anyone's Vermarc jersey shipped yet? No word from 'em on mine (ordered on Friday morning). At £6.50 for shipping and handling I'd expect it to have turned up Monday... :(

    I take back everything I said about Vermarc. My jersey arrived today with an accompanying note saying that they'd run out of XL but had enclosed a 2XL jersey as the jerseys were quite tight, if it didn't fit - send it back for a full refund. Tried it on and it fits like a glove and feels high quality. As a bonus, they also included an AG2R cap and mitts for free! :)

    Might have to get the bibs just to round off the collection...

    Same here, except that I got a Quick Step cap. Was feeling very smug until I read that you also got mitts! :-)

    "PLEASE NOTE THESE PEDALS ARE SUPPLIED WITHOUT CLEATS" <-- not me shouting, that's a copy and paste.

    The ones from CRC include cleats, ergo, they're cheaper if you also need cleats :)

    What do you reckon with regards to bib size? I'm an XXL for Biemme and Campag bibs, anyone know how these ones compare? I'm 6'6" but not particularly fat...

    Don't know about bibs, but for jerseys the XL is a fairly similar fit to a Campag XL (tiny bit more snug than Nalini XL)

    Royles daily deal thru Bikeradar is 20% off everything, meaning Zipp 404 clichers at £1040 and Cervelo S3 Ltd or S5 frames at about £1950. Tempting, but I'm about 90% short on the cash for both :(

    They've gone up to the same price as the 16Nm ones. That's a bummer. Hope my order went through properly as it will have gone to home address....

    Ordered a pair of dhb mtb shoes for £29.99 (old stock, size 47 only) Thursday evening. Arrived 09.00 today! and that with normal (free ) postage :D

    On the other hand, no cleats, just some weird rugby boot style studs :? So off to LBS for SPD cleats, £19.99 :(

    On the other hand it is a very good LBS which has sorted out some tricky problems on my bikes and I do want them to stay in business....... but...... sigh.

    That's how much cleats should be with a pair of M520 pedals thrown in........
