Twofish lockblocks I expect. Or some old inner tube
. I did this a few months ago when they were selling apple trees. And, not surprisingly, got a few peds doing the point/laugh thing. Best of all though was the comment from a chap on an MTB I passed: "What the F***!"zoso7 said:
I think you must have had the same problem I had.
I couldn't get the Presta nozzle thing sufficiently over the valve for the pump to work. To make sure it wasn't me just being stupid, I tried it on a spare tube not on the bike. Still had the same problem.
I've just bought a Joe Blow which is great on both Presta and Shraeder valves. I would recommend saving up for a decent pump.

Would these all go together nicely.

I got my shoes from Lidl last time round - work great with the M520 pedals. My OH getting a pair tomorrow as I've persuaded her to go clipless now.

When I get my running shoes they are always one size bigger than my ordainary shoes. Is it the same with cycling shoes?

Popped into Lidl this evening, and picked up a cycling top. Nice jersey, light and airy, and this ones long enough for me to get to the pockets. Other stuff looked pretty good. Panniers were small, but functional, and the shoes looked good also.
Picked up a mini foot-pump for keeping in the car too- just about to test it., which is pants. The meter popped of at aroun d80psi, letting out all the air in the tyre. It also took me three goes to get it set-up properly on my 700c tyres.

Also went in this evening, shoes seemed lighter than mine which I bought last time around (and I recall others mentioning previously as criticism)
Definitely a good buy if you want to try clipless at minimum cost.
Long sleeve tops & trousers are good value too.

I went this evening, got a jacket, long sleeve top and the leggings for winter to go under another pair of trousers on cold days. The jacket is an XL and it was massive on me, it's more like an XXL so go for the large if you're on the cuddly side unless you've got a dart's player capital D belly! Needless to say it's going back.

I went this morning, bought 2 pairs of shoes, the jacket (I opened and tried a large on in the shop, they do come BIG!), a pump, tyre repair thingy and the leggings, I need to try them on tonight for size. £57 the lot, bargain.

Do you normally buy medium clothing?, as I found the medium quite tight. Or is it meant to be?

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Dissappointed by the limited colour range - wanted another L/S jersey - only black and (IMO) unpleasant mid/light blue. Why not yellow, or red? If wearing L/S jersey, likely to be riding on dull days, autumn/winter, and more highly visible colours would be a good idea. Was also interested in the shoes - good value, looked good quality, But WHY pointless logos - Air Star (was it?) embroidered on the shoes - just makes them look cheap and tacky (again, IMO), and nasty blue trim on the mens - so no purchase. So I bought some peaches, nectarines, and ice cream instead ......
