How many layers did you need to wear under it? Just a base?
I've been wearing overshoes on all my rides for over a month up here. Don't think we've been seeing anywhere near the temps the south has. And my feet tend to get pretty cold on any ride over about 90 mins at this time of year.
Anyone know if these will fit a Bryton Rider 40? Looks a similar mount.

whats wrong with cold knees?

Good way to get injured... apparently.
Simply it means they never warm up. Sounds stupid but you wouldn't go to the gym and bench your maximum straight off. With windchill on a bike your knees will never warm up so you just risk damaging them in the winter. I've had my bib tights on for cold journeys for the past 6 weeks now probably. Love my knees.

Should do, the Rider 40 fits my SRAM QuickView without issues.
Bit of a frost in sunny Surrey when I got up but I waited a bit until the sun came out. It's that annoying time of the year when it is actually quite cold through the night but the temperature comes up quite quickly during commuting hour.

Hmm I just ordered an SRAM quickview the other day. Those Superstar things look better and more like the K-Edge.
Rim tape ordered; the Bob Jackson moves one step closer. Still to buy: saddle, brake lever(s), 1/8 chainset, 1/8 chain, tyres, tubes.
Urgh, suddenly looks expensive all of a sudden

club ride today, freezing, until I went home, then I was on my own so I warmed up lol
all I had on was ss Jersey, arm and leg warmers
if I commuting or going it alone, I would have been ok, but because I was in a group, I didn't use my energy as much, so as a result I felt the cold !

I've got a spare 1/8 chain and a charge spoon saddle (brown) you can have for a nominal fee.
No shorts is brave.
Can I get back to you on that one? I might be interested in the saddle but maybe for my Raleigh rather than the Bob. Both bikes currently wear black components but I had thought about a colour change on the Raleigh.[DOD]Asprilla;25209937 said:

I was indeed lol

Sure. I've also got brown leather (style) Deda bar tape going spare.
It was all bought for the Cotic before I decided I wanted a black Selle Rolls saddle and black bar tape followed.
