Maybe he was wearing clown shoes before?

Or waders.

Great to hear that you're enjoying the shoes Grizzly, amazing that shoes could make so much difference to your average speed.
In case anyone else is tempted to take the plunge though, be aware that Planet-X have these on offer at the moment for £59.99

As stock of these is getting low I've taken the plunge and ordered some red size 44's. Here's hoping they fit.

Ultegra 6700 wheelset for £219 at Ribble, weigh in at 1652grams, cannot find them cheaper anywhere else and with free P&P. 100grams heavier than my previous shimano RS80 but £70 cheaper.

It's worth an extra £50 to go for the Zonda's IMO.

Halfords of all places are doing some good deals on Blackburn lights. After the demise of two Cateye Rapid 3 lights, I was after a couple of Mars 4.0 tail lights and this was the cheapest I could find them. Ordered two to be delivered to my local store for collection (it's not far off my way home anyway) - £7.99 each.

Only thing was they said they accepted paypal but on getting to checkout, they didn't.

I'm usually a 46 or 47 in shoes, but with cycling shoes I like a bit of room as when the weather turns cool it's an advantage. I would say the sizing on these is accurate.

Anyway, I went for 46.5 and they are perfect, magnificent shoes. They do have a high instep, though, but to me it felt like my feet were being cosseted, feel very comfortable indeed.

Looking at sizing, I think I would be a 46.5 as you have gone for.... so - I am a size 12 or at a very push, 11.5 wide fitting in Churchs etc.

What size are you 'normally'? (If you dont mind me asking....)

That's fair enough, just depends on your budget. Anything would be better than the poor stock wheels I'm getting with my new bike.

I am usually a size 11 in normal shoes but I tend to choose a slight size up for cycling shoes. Maybe a 47 would be good for you. All I can say is the sizing is spot on, the toe box has plenty of wiggle room, should help on those colder rides in Autumn.

Thanks for swift reply - I cannot get anywhere near into an 11 in 'normal' shoes so will definitely go up a bit. May grab a 47 and next size up; returning the ones that dont fit

Cheers!

These are a bit quirkly and currently half price (to a penny) at £3.00 along with the other benefits of Wiggle purchases.

I only need finger warmers as my palms rarely get cold. Did they have any of them?

Sorry for being thick how do I know if these will fit my bike, it's a Ribble sportive with standard wheels, and just as importantly will they stop me quicker than the standard pads that came with the bike. They don't fill me with confidence.
