Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Just back from a cycle wearing these. Temperatures were 2-4 degrees and they were fine. Size wise, I'd say slightly neater fit than Castelli. I usually go for XL in Castelli, the Mavics in XL are not quite as snug. Nice length and decent width braces. Pad appeared quite generous, fairly wide (but not too thick) at the front, comfy enough on my 20 mile blast today.
Cycle Surgery seem to still have availability, so I'd recommend them as a decent purchase.

Down to £30 with free delivery. Quidco 5% too

Aldi are getting rid of their merino blend socks to make room for Christmas stuff presumably. Down to £1 a pair in Wolverhampton today, and I think they are pretty good.

I might be quite interested in one of those, Have you got any footage from it yet?

No nothing as yet from a cycling perspective.
My qumox is the same as used in this clip

and I'd say both cams on 1080p give a similar picture. The one from Morrison's though as said will go to 4k according to the menu. Don't have a 4k telly so can't comment on that claim.

So tempting. That's a lovely bike.
How to explain it to Mrs Benb?

Order it to be delivered when she's out, hide it among your other bikes and when she eventually spots it say you've had it ages...

At Morrison's they are flogging 4k ultra HD Wi-Fi action cams for 40 quid which include an 8gb micro sd card and waterproof case, but no actual handlebar or helmet brackets. Those can be found on Amazon etc.
They'e a copy of the GoPro cams afaict and I've no idea if it'll be as good as my other Qumox copy cat cam but they look identical and use the same size battery.
Can't complain at that price.

The daughter has just asked for a Gopro from Santa for horse riding, but I reckon Santa would rather get her one of these than a Gopro Any idea of the run time on them?

Mrs Santa said she's buying it, so that's fine by me all my spare cash is going to next years bike fund

Jesus, Fulcrum Racing 3's down to just under £300.

If i wasn't skint i'd be snapping these up.

Any idea of the run time on them?

An unscientific test of leaving it to run indoors gave me 100 mins with the stock battery. About the same as my other cam and about the same run times as the other various cam copies I've seen on Amazon which it seems have also mostly come down in price to the £40 ish mark.
Unlike many similarly priced bullet style cams though, these things have removable batteries and so can be swapped out when they go flat and can also run from an external usb fed battery or if you'e a fancy pants like me , off the dyno hub
A correction on my earlier post though is that there is indeed a helmet mount with this cam. Oops.

Specialized Cadet shoe £15 delivered, for SPD's

Thanks for this tincaman. I ordered them in black. My normal size, with the odd exception, is 42. I took the hints and went a size up to 43 and they fit fine. Nice stiff sole. Haven't tried on the bike yet but am sure they will be fine. Perfect shoe for town wandering and pubbing I think. A bargain. Thanks.

Well, i've used Fulcrum Racing 7's for a number of years and they are entry level wheels apparently. This is two tiers up so i'd imagine of much better quality and weight.

My understanding is that they're the same - one's focused on Campag and the other Shimano.

Virgin west coast currently has a seat sale on, example manchester london for £11, and it actually includes christmas new year travel. Full terms on their web site. Mind you booking your bike on the same train will be the usual nightmare.
