room for what, crackle?

Beer expansion of course .......what else .....


and that essential spare pair of socks down the front......

 

[4F]

Just got back from the Aldi Scrum. 2 bib shorts and the glasses, nice

 

[alecstilleyedye]

mrs alecetc is going this afternoon. i'm expecting disappointment…

 

[papercorn2000]

2 x bibshorts, 4 x socks, a gilet for Mrs. PC and sundry other stuff including my lunch. It seemed everyone was in for the cycling stuff.
Going to try Lidl on the way home to get Miss PC a wetsuit for the summer.

 

[Crackle]

Didn't go. Don't really need anything else, though a pair of shorts would've ben nice but not worth a 120 mile round trip for me, which I only make if I need other things too, which I didn't. Hope they build one closer soon

Gilet and bike computer all for under a tenner!! Chuffed? You bet!!!!!

 

[punkypossum]

1 jacket, 4 pairs of socks and 2 tops. Got the gilet, but the sizing is way out - ends at my bellybutton, so that's going back. Is it me or does all the gear seem quite short and small this year?

Got the track pump to go along with my trusty 'Silca' one (as it only does presta) 3 x mits 2 x computers (one for me and one for my son)

Only problem with the computer is that if you select miles, you can't input the correct number listed on the instructions - it doesn't go below 1900 - i.e do you input the metric size e.g 26 x 1.5 is listed as 1258 (imperial) or 2026 metric, but can't input the imperial size. So is it just the metric size that is input for miles ? I am lost !

Also looks like you can't calibrate it for a 20" wheel bike as the numbers won't go below 1900, yet the instructions give sizes for 16" and above ?

Yeah Fossy, mines pretty much the same - the wheel size wont adjust. Just off take it back - dont think I'll get another from there.

 

[fossyant]

If this is the case, then it's KM only and wheel sizes about 24" ?

Hubbie popped in this morning and got me the Gilet, top, glasses and bottle n cage. Yet to see them but fingers crossed they'll fit.

Hey Punkypossum, what are the tops like? I'm hoping that there will still be some left when I leave work later. I'm a size 12, should I go for the medium top if the sizing seems smaller this year?

 

[alecstilleyedye]

thanks for the sizing heads up chaps, mrs alecetc has now been instructed to use her judgement and ignore the size i put on the list.

That rear frame bag might be handy.

I was just thinking that,i dont have much room under my saddle,so could be the answer for me?
