    How do you stay on that saddle?? Are your arms/shoulders not sore from stopping you sliding forward??

    Not at all, and I find with the nose any higher I get too much pressure on the perineum and all the fun that leads to. The B17 also has more give than a conventional saddle, so when I plonk my fat ass on it, it doubtless bends to bear the load :pac:

    Pulled the trigger on a set of speedplays at long last, evans have them at a good price and I had a voucher for 7.50 off. Lets see if they are worth the money.

    How are the speedplays treating you? I've had mine a while and love them.

    Overshoes for these cold wet mornings

    http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/shimano-trail-npu-shoe-cover/rp-prod137479

    They will hopefully make the commute more bearable than the current twice daily soaking!

    Sportful Grupetto Bib Tights to keep my legs warm on my 4 hour spins
    Craft long sleeved compression top to keep my upper body warm
    Altura winter cycling gloves for the hands.

    All ordered from Wiggle and should be with me by tomorrow. Naturally, now that I've ordered some decent cold weather gear, we'll probably have a very mild winter and spring!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭Donie75


    Ordered a DHB Windwall base layer and merino wool socks. Was trying to find a Craft Windproof base layer in a big size but difficult to find. Looking forward to testing the Windwall.

    Fizik bar tape because I really hate the Bontrager tape I bought before Christmas - stupid brown flecks on black tape that I didn't notice when I bought it in my LBS.

    And a Garmin Out Front Mount so I don't have to look down as much - and because I just want one.
