Should be perfect for my poorly shaped body then.

Response bibs drowned my portly 14 stone in size medium. Felt like was wearing baggies! Really low cut at back too. I have Santini, dhb and decathlon bibs amongst others and these just felt weird. Pad looked decent though

The tubes are crap though.

Been using these for years - can't remember the last time I had a puncture but then I use decent tyres and keep them inflated all the time. Quite amazed really as the roads near me are a complete joke!

I definitely wouldn't say the tubes are crap and at £1.50 each is a complete bargain. I do however think that PBK are crap - the crappest of online bike retailers that I have used but hey ho!

Apologies if already posted but I have just bought a second Moon Meteor front light for, the cheapest I could find by quite a long way - £22.99 in Titanium colourway - which is basically black with a bit of grey, here - 11 left in stock

Road CC reviews http://road.cc/content/review/71583-moon-meteor-front-light

I was going to buy at £28.99 from Planet X on Ebay and then checked their own site so £22.99 was a nice surprise. Light output is comparable to my Moon XP 300 which cost me £40 but in a size and weight about half of that.

Takes a dump from a great height on my increasingly inferior Smart Lunar 25 and 35 front lights which are now resigned to the bin!

Buy one - you seriously won't regret it for road / commuting.

Cheers

*** Edit - Both silver and Titanium are available at this price. 8 Titanium and 5 silver left as of 10.30 today.

Cheapest online price I can find by quite a margin....

@Luba The Moon Meteor is a good little light but be careful of the fixing strap. I found that the light would vibrate out of position on poor road surfaces and used to have to straighten it every so often. Did it once too often and the strap broke off near the bracket and I can't see any way of fixing it. I now have a perfectly functioning light with no way of attaching it to the bike.

Well they are the same people, so the more you buy the cheaper they are.

Wiggle M1.0 and R1.0 shoes at £32.99, great for your first pair. Read the reviews carefully for sizing, I have wide feet and they are perfect, but I had to buy a size up.

Received the MTB version today, cant believe how much more comfy they are over the original version. Also the tread material is softer so they are much quieter on our wood floors

Yep, definitely agree that the mount is the weak point and the latest reviewer on Amazon confirms this - quite surprised no one else has. It does actually have a "ratchet" on the mount so you can angle it which is a bit pointless IMO. They'd be better off ensuring it was secure in one position - forwards - and not mess about with anything else.

If mine goes I might Heath Robinson something with cable ties cos the light itself is fantastic. I think Moon lights are great but the brackets leave a lot to be desired - but nowhere near as much as Kryptonite locks - who surely know their mounts are only fit for the bin - yet do nothing about it!!!

I reckon if someone came up with a decent mount for Kryptonite locks and other accessories like lights, sold at a reasonable price, they'd make an absolute killing.

Anyone out there with knowledge of plastic moulding, stainless steel and links to China want to go into business?!!

Mmm,might get some of those to use with the cross bike and will be able to use either the British Cycling or Wiggle platinum discount as it will be the first thing I've possibly needed from Wiggle that hasn't already been discounted.

TKMaxx Sheffield Meadowhall has the Craft bibs as well as a selection of jerseys, mainly Craft and dare2b. (If you're female, there's a nice Gore Ladies jersey -size S- mixed in with the men's stuff upstairs. I was going to check the ladies section for any mens stuff that had gone astray, but didn't want to look like a weirdo.)

Might have to have a nose in the Cambridge ones,got some Craft stuff earlier this year including a shirt for £10 in the reduced rail;trouble is you can't tell what each store will have.
