[QUOTE 4846836, member: 45"]Mine are a bit tight but i think they'll soften.[/QUOTE]

Mine were tight on outside edge of right foot so i put thicker insoles in lifting my foot up slightly from the narrow sole and that did the trick.

I'm sure it will be tighter and neater with practice. Over half full the shape depends on what you pack in there, if its soft stuff it will droop slightly. Lighweight at 350 grams

Thanks. finally managed to have a proper look at mine and the plastic clips/fastenings have this really cheap brittle plastic feel about them which doesnt fill me with a lot of confidence.... Not hugely impressed tbh. Not sure if i should stick to my Carradice (pendle or Super C Audax) instead. Functionality wise, Carradice has more as you can attach bits and peices to the outside by the loops on the outside flap, not to mention the two external pockets which can be used ho hold snacks, spare batteries and anything else you might need in a jiffy.

Would you trust this to do the dynamo?

Boardman 3K Carbon bottle cage - reduced to £18 at Halfords.

Seems a great price as despite the stated RRP of £25 these did have an RRP of £50 last year (although they were frequently on offer at £25). And at just 22g each, just think of the extra speed you'll get from trimming the weight of a standard bottle cage from your bike...

Plus the usual 10% BC discount will apply!

Fitted ok, did order a larger size than should have been needed but read up comments on Specialized shoes sizes and think I got it right - just putting the shoe alongside my foot difficult to see how my big toe would have fitted comfortably in a smaller size.

Halfrauds are price matching Chainreaction on the Brooks B17, and of course if you have access to British Cycling membership's discount, you'll be paying £54 on collection!

Completely unbranded Medium steel Single Speed/Fixie in a fetching colour over at Planet X. I quite like that it has unbranded rims, hubs, tyres (700x25c if I am squinting properly), brakes and frame. Seems a good bike for £200 compared to Feral and the likes. The rear dropout looks nice, front fork a bit straight though.
But completely brandless, so impossible to estimate its value. So, a bargain only if that tickles your fancy.

Well interesting but not sure what's good about unbranded hubs. I like to know what my hubs are, and not for bragging reasons.

Chain Reaction have Castelli Perfetto Convertible jackets (Used to be called Gabba) reduced to £118 - only available in Mirage which is a green/grey - far nicer than the usual black ninja ones IMO!

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/castelli-perfetto-convertible-jacket/rp-prod160800

I just paid £107 after my BC discount against full retail of £200+ elsewhere. (Oh and another couple of pounds of cash back via Quidco )
