Just an update, ordered the pedals from
Halfords/Halfrauds/Halfarses (you choose) on Sunday afternoon, got an email to collect after 16:00 Monday, turned up at 16:10 Monday, after 10 minutes of searching 'No idea, they're not here come back tomorrow DPD haven't arrived yet.' So I duly turned up at 16:10 Tuesday, waited at the till for 10 minutes whilst they sssslllllooooowwwwlllllyyyyy dealt with some other customers, including one guy who gave up put his things down & walked out.
The guy who arrived just in front was also doing a click & collect & was told to go upstairs to the cycling department as they wer now dealing with them, so off we both trot upstairs to the back of the store to find nobody. After waiting a couple of minutes I shouted down to them at the till there was nobody up here, they shouted over the tannoy & eventually somebody arrived & went to look for the guy in front's stuff in the locker at the side of the till where we'd come from!
Eventually another assistant turned up & went in search of my pedals, which he eventually found in some boxes at the back of the warehouse, I paid from them & then couldn't get a receipt as the tills just refused to issue one, I gave up & left with the pedals but no proof of purchase, the other guy was still there his stuff had either not turned up or they couldn't find it/them. I know his order was in the region of £600 as we were talking.
So what should have been a 10 minute click & collect turned into a 2 journey 55 minute ordeal, 10 minutes 1st day, 45 the 2nd.
Anyway onto the pedals, put them on & went out did 23 miles of canals & tracks, feet never slipped, but it did feel as though I may need to drop the saddle a few millimetres not sure why & not looked yet, but it felt I was stretching a little bit more than usual, but that was only for the first few miles then I got used to it.
