well, why not, but + front brake = yes, definitely.

clearances be clearances ? unless they become caverns of empty voids they are... simply, what they are, no ?

Hah, won't be long though (15-20 years left for the next ice age, estimated).

i love the word* estimated* involved in that sentence Ed

Ed has common sense?

he got a hot Scobbling with eggs on top, what more to say ?

funnily enough after starting this thread I opted not to buy cycling specific waterproof trousers for the bike and instead bought some cheap walkers/farmers/builders waterproof over-trousers which i seldom use. £5.

it's small, light and I carry it with me everywhere and has lasted 3 years so far.
keeps my dry for the hour/half hour I need them for.

the best compromise

bib 3/4 tights with long sealskins
or
the full monty with the long bibs and any socks you want,
either way,
they are super comfortable and give you unrestricted insulation and comfort on the bike.
bought some for the 1st time recently and can't complain, in comparison to leg warmers they are far superior.

Pay particular attention to the pad, for if they are badly stitched and not feathered in on they edges they are certainly going to chaff and hurt.
I learnt to my disappointment with my first bib tights (Santini) :( I might have to modify these to feather the edges of the pad.
Other than that they are excellent quality, a crying shame.

^saddle's too high

you can't say that !
but i think your right despite the amazing bike Chrobin has made.

"Ultrasonically welded seams" - sounds fancy.

seriously, i can't see that making a difference in the real world, unless your a scuba-diver, then probably yes.

good sales pitch - check

i used it on my road bike, and where i usually double wrap my bars, the mavic alone is sufficient.
It's the best tape i've so far tried and most importantly it's stays grippy in all conditions, even in stinking rain.
It's also really tough and hard wearing and doesn't rip like some others I've used.

The Swrve Milwaukee has proven it worth.

t-shirt + Milwaukee = bliss.

the Milwakee is what i was referring to, they are brilliant.

Montane featherlight with baselayers underneath is one of the best IMO since you can pack the whole thing into an equivalent of a sock

or Swrve Shell with the same combination, the later being warmer and more breathable but much more space.

they've got at least a dozen of your skin cells clinging to the inside of them now.

£1, final offer.

:D

got a snow flake in my eye today, and i'm not joking i couldn't open my eye for a few mins.
So clear glasses for me tomorrow. Not often i wear them, only in peak summer, and darksest coldest winter do i ever find the need.
i use some Endura ones i got for £10.

I well and truly do not see what benefits a £200 Oakley glasses can make, but i'm open to exactly why you may think they are.

All i want and need is a barrier between the elements and my eyes. Job done.

carradice SuperC saddlepack, the one in top left of 4th pic please.

in searching i found these, Specialized Sub Zero. £20, for 2 gloves; outer (windproof and waterproof) and liner, both of which you can use individually in need be.
Seems to have pretty decent reviews.

Firstly - racist!
She a fit. Girls dem sugar.

what an awesome picture ! Goes to show racism in it's extremist form is taught.

5 fucking minutes? Have you tried using both your hands?

for some reason the ones i have are toight as hell and the zip is a stiff, so yes.

Neoprene overshoes, around 0.3 - 0.4cm thickness is doing well for me, even though they look pretty weird. Definitely worth the extra 5 mins in the morning putting them on.

im trying ski gloves, they should be good for this weather. problem with using a road bike is that the mittens obstruct the gear levers, so full finger gloves are a must. I will update when i get some.
