For me, yes. Normally a 45 in Shimano style sizing and the size 10s are perfect.

I got a pair of £160 Fizik shoes for £30 ISH a SRAM cassette for £10 and a helmet for £5 fingers crossed the helmet and shoes fit. 🤞
Half size up for me, my previous five tens were 11,s and felt they were a bit tight with a thicker sock.

Need some help here. Tempted to get the Carbon TT Wheelset despite the fact that I don't take part in TTs (or Triathlons), don't have a TT bike, and aren't suitable for my son, who has drop-outs. However £1100 down to £399 looks like a bargain I can't miss.

Nice wheels, but hardly a bargain if you're not going to get used.

Is that the help you need - as in don't buy them they're not a bargain if they're completely impractical?
You could always take up triathlon - not a cheap sport, but you've already saved a shed load of money buying the wheels.

@BrumJim - they're quite heavy. Unless you, or he, is planning on time-trialling then I'd suggest no. Also, it's for disc brakes only, so they'll be sat on a shelf.
Nice bling, but they'll live in a box imo. You'd be better finding him a decent quick-release carbon wheelset and they pop up on sale regularly (I've a new set in a box I bought for £250).

Moment of madness. Thanks for all your help; I'm sorted now. Still tempted by the headset bearing at 99p, even though I don't need it. But that is a lot less money to waste on a bargain.

You'd save more than you spend!
Look out your local club. They'll have time trials on their fixture sheet and you could step up to the mark. Imagine riding a TT without deep section wheels!

Erm ... that's the new 'road' category that CTT has introduced here in the UK. It's been surprisingly popular. 60mm wheels are the limit.
