Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[Spiderweb]

Just ordered a pair, they're now only £11.99. I figure they'll do for the commute as my 3 year old Altura and DHB ones are rather ragged now.

Thanks for the £11.99 heads up, ordered 2 pairs and a couple of pairs of socks to get the free post over £30. Bargain!

Can't find a size chart and can't find a single review in English to help with sizing. Anyone point me in the right direction re sizing please?

For the Decathlon bibshorts? Next to the drop down to select the size it say "Find your size" - click on that.

If it helps, I'm 5ft 9in, weigh 95kg and an 'L' fits nicely.​

Looks like I'll have to swap mine for medium then..

To be honest I didn't even look at the size chart, I just ordered my usual size (S). For me their size chart recommends XS, but based on a quick look at their range of bibshorts (900 series and Team) they don't do an XS. I'll find out tomorrow when I pick mine up and report back.

I have been using this workstand for the last few years with no complaints. Pretty good price on it - £60.

If you add the £30 toolkit with it and add 'SALE2018' at the checkout, you could have both for £80!

Look like the stand i got from edinburgh bike co_op to replace the minoura costing twice as much i absentmindedly left outside my garage one night to be nicked. Good stand, effectively as good as my lost one.

Tried on a large when collecting mine this morning, they fit fine. Pad not as nice as my Altura Progel but for £12 perfect for the commute.

[B-twin 500 bibshorts]

First impressions for me:

• Pad seems fine, maybe on par with dhb mid-range shorts. Not ridden in them yet, just a quick squish test.
  
• No gel gripper on legs - but that's really not going to be an issue as the legs are quite snug, verging on compression wear.
• Sizing is fine, but their chart suggests I should be XS - doubt I'd get into XS considering how snug the legs are on the S.
• Appearance wise, they absolutely fine and look quite smart - definitely a bargain at £11.99.

Happy camper here.

Mine arrived and I had ordered large ,very snug could maybe have done with an XL bit for the cost it's not worth sending them back , don't think they are as good as the dhb classic
