  Nice, ordered as a back up cassette. Will go well with my Brexit KMC X11-EL stock (3 chains)

• How many pair of cycling shoes do you own?

  in General • 2 days, 5 hours

  

  Single pair for summer/spring/autumn
  Another pair (SPD boots) for winter, keeps the water and the cold out, and when I get back I can hose it down without worrying about getting the inside wet.

  I use mtb (well, crankbro) cleats with road so that helps keep the count low.

  Thanks, turns out I was looking at another Howard plaque :)

  Maybe not - I'm at home with an ice slip burn from this morning's ride.

  ooh no streetview on this one.

• Essential winter clothing?

  in Bikes & Bits • 3 days, 5 hours

  

  Spatz "Thrmoz" gloves - Good good good. Little bit bulky on the fingertips, I suppose that's why they included the index finger peephole (brilliant). Will try more tomorrow.

• Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

  Interested as well.

  edit from the future: Medium, Dark Olive, thank you!

• Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again"

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 1 week

  

  I'm asking for 47mm tyres which probably had 100ml sealant to start (MOAR IS BETTERER!)

  I do 90ml on road tubeless which had an interesting effect when the rear GP5000 decided to let go of all pressure (I inflated to the limit in the cold and it got too hot after a long ride probably) and dump the whole sealant to the poor chap on my wheel.
