Tonybv9, apparently the stuff that comes on the chain is the best you can get and should be left on.

How much of a head start do you want for that then?

Tony that sounds a bit like the childs Wiggins. We have moved to them from Isla and they're fantastic. Lightweight, great components and look beautiful too. Both boys ( age 6 and 7) did their first tri recently and they went like a dream

We considered the Wiggins too. I saw one in Halfords and it looked really good too. It came down to colour choice in the end. She's 12, she's allowed to choose on that basis, we all do.

it's that time of year when we start thinking about winter-proofing. i need some winter cycling gloves but am getting confuzzled. Wiggle and Evans both seem to go on about 'winter gloves' ("to keep your digits toasty") and 'windproof gloves' ("Help guard against the unpredictable British weather"). what's the difference between the two? I would expect any winter glove to be able to 'guard against the unpredictable British weather...' Bottom line, though, is that i commute by bike 25 miles a day, 4-5 days/week. I have a family history of poor circulation and my hands get cold easily (and sometimes painful). BUT... by the time i get to work i'm normally pretty hot and bothered! Any advice on whether i should get 'winter', 'windproof' or 'other' gloves for my winter commute? thanks |

I suffer from Raynauld's in the winter but use these when it's cold.... planetx.co.uk I find they can get a bit sweaty by the end of a ride, but I prefer warm sweaty hands to the alternative. |
