Did you say the normal raceblades fit your defy ok?
I might give them a go. I know they aren't full length, but i only commute on my own so i don't really care about whether folk on my wheel would get wet, as long as they keep most of the wet/crap off of me.
I have the Raceblade Longs XL and they're full length. Same coverage (slightly more with the flaps) as the Giant guards and more than the Roadracer mk2's.
The'll keep most of it off you but not much of it off your frame/drivetrain.
Not many guards keep it off the frame/drivetrain without a crank/chain cover (like my missus city bike has and I've been half tempted to source for the winter...)
I wish websites with 'sales' would actually list the new sale items, their discounts and when they were the original price. It seems to me that most sales contain products that have had a sale tag on them for months and months.
Wiggle are bad at this, quite regularly have things on my watchlist with a 30-40% discount, then a 'SALE!' happens and they're listed with a 25-30% discount!

At least with wiggle you can see the 'RRP'/start price.
dumped two guys yesterday who aggressively over-took me, one guy turned off at the next junction other caught up at the lights with a smile and "was not expecting that"
muwhahaahaha! I was running out of uhmf so I'm glad they backed off early
I hope you gave him a casual glance and a "u wot m8?"
Wouldn't mind a couple of short sleeve nice jerseys, ie Castelli, anyone spotted any bargains, wouldn't mind some relatively bright colours? Size S/M?
Several castelli jerseys under £50 on the wiggle sale, some of them almost low enough in price for me to look at!
Picked my bike up at lunchtime, quite chuffed as for the £30 service they only charged 1 hour of labour, replace rear brake cable and outer, straightened front mech, reindexed gears, checked out the derailleur hanger, removed cranks, checked out bearings and refitted. Would've taken me probably 3 hours or more!
Although I'm going to look at my mech hanger again as I know I knackered the head on one of the screws and want to replace it. Fairly sure if I take it off I won't get the screw very tight before getting it stuck in there... Are they hard to source/bike specific? For the tiny screws what are my options? Buy a whole new hanger with them or try and source them separately myself?
