    I just called in, they have the repair stands for £29.99 which are not listed on the website. Picked one up along with a couple of the base layers and some socks.

    Yes, and rate them highly. Bought a pump last year and it's still going strong. At £5 you can't go wrong.

    What are people's thoughts on the cycling shorts baselayer? Do you use this for winter or for general use?

    Just wondering because my Bib Tights I got last year can feel quite nippy on a few cycling rides I have done this year

    Are they winter bib tights? Nothing beats winter tights in this weather, I am still wearing mine. Dont think I will be switching back to normal bib tights just yet, too cold! :P

    I'm interested to know about these also. I got a couple of base layer tops earlier and saw them - I wondered if they are more for commuting in and don't want to wear full lycra with pads.

    I assume you wouldn't wear them underneath normal bib shorts with pads?

    Has anyone ever tried their sunglasses? I tried a pair on this morning and they felt really cr*p - so I left them.

    Yes winter tights...but I could do with more 'insulation' ...it could help when it gets windy and wet...
    Also need to know if you wear this under the bib shorts/ tights?

    Right so just been to LIDL in Warrington..

    Still a fair bit of stuff there.. About 8 Bike stands for £29.99..

    Personally i didnt buy anything.. I didnt like the look of any of it, bit different horses for different courses and all that.

    Hopefully someone can make use of the info who wants a bike stand though :)

    Pair of the wife`s tights under bibtights will go a long way to insulate you-just dont make a visit to A&E.
    Whats the solution? Just pedal faster you baby.

    got myself the base layer vest for 7 quid it seems decent enough quality. good for wearing with short sleeved jerseys in better weather. Got the floor pump last time and its still going strong.

    No bib-anything or bike stands in Cheltenham one that I noticed :(
    Got some cheap Haribo that I have not tried before though :D
    Track pump looked to be the best thing they had.

    I have just purchased 2 x short sleeved base layers in case we get any warmer weather during the summer. Seem good value for £6.99, the proof will be in the wearing.

    Just been to the chessington one, 1 track pump, couple pairs of socks, sunglasses and a base layer. No stands there unfortunately and stock going relatively quickly.

    Ended up buying a few pairs of socks and base layers and half the weeks groceries.

    All appear decent quality products. Will give the base layer a try later.

    glasses are good - I normally grab a couple of pairs every time. Base layers are also good very good when you get hot and sweaty and cold again.
