I have both those issues with Das Boot - not easy to get the "laces" up tight enough, and crank rub.

I've never bothered with the laces. Just slip my feet in and do up the velcro flap. You're not going to pull your foot out of a boot easily.

Good morning,

.....winter gloves for £10
https://planetx.co.uk/products/carnac-pleuvoir-gloves?sku=18067623023246962036402015

I bought a pair a few months ago and they seem to have a very small useful operating temperature range. They are very good down at around freezing, but much above and your hands get hot and sweaty really quickly and below that you need more.

Size wise they appear to be Asian sizing, I have a pair of XL, fairly small hands and they only just fit, so I can't use a pair of inners meaning that it is back to the sliced loaf wrapper as an outer glove.

Having said this they are worth the money for me for those few days when it gets this cold.

Bye

Ian

Halfords have got a fairly decent deal on KMC chains at the moment, some are better than others.

X11 is about £17, X9 is £10 and the X10 is £19.

Just picked up a couple of 11 speed chains for spares as they are usually around £30 whenever I look and need them.

Afternoon all, my first post on here (properly) after emigrating over from the soon to be defunct Bikeradar forum.
It's not what I would deem mega value, but it is imho value for money.

These are shoes with an RRP of £350, currently on offer at the truly excellent Balfe's bikes for only £149.99, but there's a SAVE10 code to knock them down even more, proper bargain to my mind, some 60% off and free postage.
The cheapest I have seen these for before has been around the £200 mark.

Currently available in fairly popular sizes I would say: 37, 39, 42-44.

These are TOP line shoes, and if you want a stealthy all black look (With precious little in the way of branding) like I did, I don't think you can do any better.

Snapped up a couple of large cans of Brake Cleaner from the local Euro Car Parts @ £2.89 each:

I usually use Halfords own brand as it's cheaper than the bike specific stuff but for some reason they haven't had it in stock on the last couple of visits.

Cheers Si. Just got 2 x 9sp at £7.88 each with a motoring account discount.

Even at £10 each, it just goes to show that 8 & 9 sp cycling is ridiculously cheap.
