Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Received one of these today: http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLOOMPHZLS/on-one-merino-perform-half-zip-long-sleeve-cycling-jersey

For £30 they're a steal especially if you want a jersey that doesn't look like a bike jersey. Sizing is more of a race fit so you might want to size up if you're on the larger size.

Hopefully when you wash it this won't happen. The green shirt underneath is the size the jersey was when new. And it was washed according to the instructions. The first time it shrank from a casual off bike size to a race fit on bike size. I thought wool could only shrink once too. I'm awaiting a reply from them as to what to do when the other one I bought needs a wash.

Hm, that doesn't look good! I gave it a wash through on a wool cycle last night and mine seems to be ok. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and sort it out.

Really only useful for cars and other larger objects - doesn't go down to the 5Nm we need for seatpost torque ...

I have one in my garage ...

I did this to hubby's too. Looks like a kid's top! Oops

Just taken delivery of a Planet X short sleeve jersey for £9.99. It seems pretty good quality. http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLPXGTSSJ/planet-x-clubman-grand-tour-short-sleeve-jersey

I bought a couple of these - arrived yesterday - superb tops for less than £10
