Any good ? It's about the only thing from Endura I don't own :laugh:

Aint tried it -- it was 16'c when i cycled home so i'll probably let you know tomorrow after my morning commute. They say the material is strong because the way it woven but i get the feeling id probably end up tearing it somehow :training::training:.

I also tried the equivalent from castelli that was double the price and while that did feel reeeeeaaally nice, Im not into forking out almost £90 for it when i can get a much cheaper alternative.

Had time to sit down and have proper inspection and i have to say im rather impressed. It fits me perfectly and the sleeves are just about right, its got reflective piping/patches here and what seems to be decent ventilation. The fit is a lot better than their Helium waterproof jacket they make (which i also own)

Then I might have a look. I own the Gridlock II Jacket, which is fine when it's cold, but a little too much in the warmer weather and doesn't pack away as well.

When the description mentioned under arm ventilation i was thinking along the lines of my windchill II jacket. with the pakajak it's just mesh venting near/under/behind covered by a flap on the outside to keep the rain out.

Sun is out so it's a little too warm to wear it :tongue:

I bought a new front derailleur today after the old one broke. I was a shimano 105 and cost £25 . Fitting was straight forward but its needed a little fettling to stop the irritating chain rub noise.No matter how much fine adjustments where made ,I still couldn't get it to run smoothly until a noticed that my chain ring has got a slight buckle in it. I got a pair of pliers on the side plates of the derailleur and opened them apart slightly and its now running nice and quiet.

I just received an order of several pairs of tyres (for my commuter/tourer bike and my road bike), and now the house is filled with that new tyre smell. If I don't wake up tomorrow morning, that will be the reason why. :crazy:
