Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Potentially look like a bargain and I have read good stuff on here about craft legwear.

Though must admit I have never heard of them.

Usual lack of detailed product info from planetx, and From past experience I don't rate my chances of a reply to an email enquiry.

So, does anyone have any idea whether these, and their full length tights also on sale here, are likely to have a built-in pad or be padless?

Edit
Also thinking of these.

And looking at that sizing guide, as someone who varies between a 34 and 36 inch waist at the extremes of indulgence, I guess I should go for a Craft medium?

I think those are both ladies running wear, and so no pad... that may or may not be what you're looking for!

Can't see a reference to them being women's only.
Is the clue in "capri" ?
(Am fine with no pad, most of my cycling tights have no pad)

Take a look at the pics for the full length ones... the capri look to have the same panels at the front...

Are they these?

No mention of gender.
Yes of running, but there is a certain crossover between running and cycling gear.

Airace Fit CNC Pump - £3.99 posted. I bought a couple of these and they’re really good... if you don’t mind a silver pump! Presta and schraeder fitting, clever pull-out integrated hose and mounting bracket included.

Mine arrived this morning. Neat bit of kit.

I’m a 43 but have taken a risk here on the 42. If they’re too small I’ll just sell them on for £10.

29" and 27.5" MTB front wheels SRAM 15mm thruaxle hub and Eason AR24 rims.

£36 and £40

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/sram-mth-716-on-easton-ar24-front-wheel/rp-prod187721

Never used SRAM hubs but seems reasonable at that price.

The hub is also available alone at £16

If you search for SRAM MTH746 the rear hub is £28 and there are a selection of wheels made up for reasonable prices (sadly no 10speed QR for me)


When you buy a thru axle wheel do you get the "skewer"?

No, you won't because there is no thru axle standard

Deepend on the thru axle, but in general yes, just buy the right bits.

You need the right hub end caps to do the job, make sure they are available before you buy. Some wheelsets come with all the end caps included

Through axel to QR is possible, if converters available (if is the question - e.g. Hope, then likely), but your frame may not accept QR - only OK if re-using wheels on a QR frame
