Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Are their returns free if you simply do not want, many are not and only free if it's faulty

Used to be, not used Wiggle in a while…they have a returns page on their website however
(FWIW I use Paypal for online purchases wherever possible as they refund return fees)

Presca Sports are having a clearout and there's some reasonably priced kit available...

My Jersey arrived today and I also passed it on to my mate who ordered a Jacket and some of the t-shirts. I am very impressed initially, feels and looks quality. Bit gutted I didn't get a jacket now.

Colour is awesome, probably not ideal for someone who generally gets dirty quite quickly, but hey ho.

Last time I wanted to return something, you had to pay return postage.

I've got front rollers - bit smaller, but they are bomb proof - Had mine about 12 years, bit tatty but they do the job and are waterproof. Good price that.

I had the idea that stuff with the "city" tag wasn't quite as good/less robust? Maybe wrong?
(not that I'm dissing Ortleib - I have four pairs.)

Not for me (9 speed bod) but might be handy for some folks.

Note - direct mount - but you can get adaptors from PlanetX for not a lot - and there's something to be said for using direct mount mechs with an adaptor even on band-on frames.

Ortlieb Back Roller City panniers for £65 for the red/black option being sold by Amazon - they generally seem to be around the £80+ mark elsewhere. I've taken a punt in advance of my new commuter bike (eventually) arriving as they seem to get very good reviews.

Took a wee punt myself, been looking for a while to get them at a decent price.

Cheers

Worth a punt maybe.....

11 speed chain £10.99: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/taya-onze-111-11-speed-chain
12 speed chain £12.99: https://www.wiggle.co.uk/taya-tolv-121-12-speed-chain

Might be made of chocolate, but I've taken a punt as spares.

My 2 chains arrived. The quick link looks dodge. It just easily locked together with little force from fingers. Shimano ones you usually have to stamp the pedal.
Anyone happy with theirs? There is grease all over them like vasiline.

any idea on sizing?
I usually take a large in gear from sensible companies like Endura and Altura, (tho I tend to think I'm a medium kind of guy I like a looser fit) but that outfit's Italian I think.
So the dreaded italian sizing where even a stick insect needs an XL?
and chest size only part of the equation - you need washboard abs which have never enjoyed British beer?

(am also suspicious/wary as I see they have a size labelled as "3XL" - a size surely unknown to most folk without a body image problem?)

I’m not sure, size chart suggests 40-43 for Large and 43-45 for XL. I’m a 43 chest so eventually decided on XL.

I'd be interested in a report back spiderweb.
Must admit have never understood italian sizing/what strange drivers in their customers the companies are pandering to in their marketing.

I think I’d take a chance on an XL, they are likely to sell out fast and you’ll miss out. Happy to report back but I’m in Italy right now so won’t be trying for size until next Monday.

I never rush things spider, so will still be interested.
I have an italian top somewhere that's some strange multiple of L and is still like a sausage skin.

Has to be worth a punt at 20 quid. I'll pass it to my brother if it turns out to be too small. 👍
