  They can get through plasterboard, and will happily use expanding foam as bedding material too.

  Worry about your wheels, they make the most difference.

  The rodenticide will still need to be laid by a Pest Controller though as they're not available to the general public. There's also another product called contact gel/foam thats a potent poison that can be applied where mice access but humans do not, and it works by sticking to their fur, then when they clean themselves they get poisoned. Electronic traps work well, but once they've gone off they need resetting and any other mice will climb over the dead mouse to eat the bait.

  Just incase anyone is tempted to leave Warfrin down for the mice, chances are they're resistant to it. Cambridge university run a service that test dead mice for their resistance to anti coagulants that they use to advise pest controllers what particular poison is effective in which area. Although this doesn't mean anything if you can't get the mice to eat the bait.

  But every ride is a race?

  I bought some Five Ten to go with my V8's... flat pedal riding is not for me, except when practising wheelies.

• Which decent casual SPD shoes? Dzr, Chrome, Quoc Pham, etc

  No, but new cleats often come with the actual plate for the inside of the shoe, and the shoe's sole will be perforated inside to help with removal & installation.

  Five Ten do casual shoes that take a cleat. Chrome are flexy. Giro Republic are a good shoe. But a shoe that is good as a cycling shoe is like walking in foot ball boots, unless you go all out and get pedals with a platform.
