Hahahahaha, good luck!
I've got arms & parts left from my mk2's if anyone needs them (I'll never use them again).
Ok temporary guards when you have no other option. I'd rather spend the money on an ass-saver and overshoes before fitting a better guard...
front guard is the saver here, rear was never a real issue to find OUCH!
Like most places then...!It's not returning stuff to Tredz that is the issue - it's their utter lack of stock control and lying on the website about stock levels
Looks a good bag for the money, good make too, shame it's not brighter and got more pockets... I'm using one of these and it's superb. Although 20L is total overkill now I cycle home for lunch (lol), but comes in handy when needing to carry deliveries home from work!
You're wearing them wrong...over-shoes are a complete waste of time if you want to stay dry, I must have 8 pairs at home and all of them soak through..

Just on painkillers until the op.OUCH!
Some kinda support/semi-cast to stop extension and a crutch?!
Decathlon are on the expensive side and I don't tend to use them as have to pay for delivery where I am (no local store). Prendas look a good selection but not really 'cheap merino' options
Mudguards stop some of the spray and an overshoe with waterproofing will stop the spray settling on the shoe and just runs off the top of the overshoe... I'll agree that pure neoprene overshoes are not the best for constant heavy rain over a longer period.
Cable stretch, poor quality cables and rubbish collecting in your shifters/cable entry points can really play havoc with cable stretch. So can rusted/corroded cable outers! Whenever I change my cables or do a really thorough service I put a spot of lube on every cable entry and wipe my cables with it, but make sure to wipe any visible and excess away afterwards as it attracts dust/dirt!
My custom bent stay is a much more elegant solution anyway 
Had to head straight home as I wasn't wearing the right stuff and was basically absorbing the rain! Bike works well though. It is actually much more sprightly than I initially gave it credit for and the missing cog is the massively underused 6th gear on my other bike so 8 speed doesn't feel like too much of a downgrade.
Yeah it's a great route, mostly quiet roads and 2 really long climbs. I've a bunch on my rwgps profile if you want some ideas? Most of mine target a specific route taking in roads I don't otherwise travel, or want to. Or a climb/specific Strava segments.Roady, I am back in Hereford this weekend and am looking for a decent loop to do on Sunday. I quite like the look of the CoB route you did not so long back as it seems to follow quiet roads I have yet to ride. Minus the fall (sorry to hear about that) would you recommend the route?
Thanks, unknown brand again. Logo very similar to Dare2B!
I can't decide when to head out, need to do ideally 50+ miles to recover from not riding all week. My bike needs bar tape fitting and a complete clean (not done it since last weekend!) which kinda rules out the shop ride tomorrow morning unless I do it all tonight in the cold & dark... If I don't get out tomorrow I'd be up for a sunday ride if you wanted an extra groupie? Just throw me a trust email/strava comment/facebook message to let me know when/where

(I will do my fair share of wind blocking mind due to my natural bulk)!!Yeah mine went on amazingly quickly too! Like 20 mins for the rear and around 1 hour of faffing with the front (which I'm still not happy with), might faff with it some more this weekend if I don't ride and do a load of maintenance...Mud guards went on the bike a treat. Along with loads of other faffing around removing stickers, reflectors etc. and my perfectionist nature I was still done well within an hour. I seem to remember the set on my hybrid absorbing an afternoon
Yeah newer SKS Chromo's. I have no experience of the 'old' but found it quite a neat solution (compared to the usual blunting of my junior hacksaw blade when cutting them down)!
Secret is to buy new things they've not had a chance to lose in the warehouse yet then!

Should be able to get a new barrel adjuster if you hunt around.
