I have the opposite issue with a set of waterproof trousers (Goretex paclite cycling waterproof trousers)... I washed them, then on the re-proofing cycling the storm hit and we lost all power. They ended up trapped in the washing machine for over 12 hours in the reproofer with it setting solid on the waterproofs. I somehow don't expect them to be breathable anymore! But with any luck it will either wash out after many washes and I can try again after fixing the new holes that have appeared (fingers crossed - I can't afford to replace £100 waterproof cycling trousers even if I do also use them for my mountaineering!)

It was a Large although to be honest i think it was a tad to big , on reflection I think i should have gone medium.
Mind you if the price is right ?

Pro 4 Endurance seem to be coming in pretty cheap at the moment. Just over £20 per tyre from ProBikeKit if you order 2. 2 ordered as my 4 Seasons are wearing out after a year !

Hi all, New thread now started in this section. No more Halfords error stuff here, use the other.

It's a 10 at the moment, and I have all the tools to get the cassette lockring off.
I'll mull it for the rest of the day and decide later.

I mulled too long, and now they are sold out. Boo.

Oh well, I didn't really need them.

 

[uclown2002]

Any more Halfords codes?

 

[tincaman]

B14PAC501 for £5 off £25 at Halfords, still the only current code, also 3% Quidco available

some of us on here miss the days of large saddle bags rather than the modern synthetic mini ones nfor a few patches, levers and maybe a very small pump
but i have found on ebay just for you the bigger ones but brand new
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carradice...rtGoods_CyclAcces_RL&var=&hash=item2ecb7ef797

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Carra...d=100005&prg=1048&rk=3&rkt=4&sd=200982591383&
not all that cheap though about 55 quid cheapest!
but if you are only going for a few days and going minimalist and ultralight then this maybe all you need
or you could your sandwiches for one day in there?
Cheers Ed

They seem to be around RRP in those links. Both bags are cheaper at Wiggle, for instance:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/carradice-barley-saddle-bag/
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/carradice-super-c-saddlebag/

Some fairly cheap factory second Carradices can be had at this eBay shop, if you time it right and get lucky (check completed items to see how much things generally go for): http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/bakedbean...h=item2a37ab1103&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
I've bought from them in the past and the "defect" that made the bag a second was miniscule.
