Re: FS: Shimano SH-M 038 SPD shoes size EU41

Are these any good for casual walking about in? I mean, I have far too many cycling shoes, and not quite sure if/where I'd use these, but they're my size :lol: and I may use them if popping to the shops or something....

Re: Mapping / routes archive question

I reckon mr Barter is someone you should listen to in this respect. My 2p on the subject is: Other online services come and go, often involve subscriptions and change how they work with time/disappear etc. Keep it simple.

Gaerne MTB Shoes - Free

Having a clearout and these are too good and in too good a condition to just throw out... probably my best condition cycling shoes I currently have! A set of Gaerne MTB shoes - 2 bolt SPD pattern. They're from my XC racing days and a really stiff shoe for optimal pedalling efficiency (they'll be hor...

Re: Pole Feet

The safety caps they put on the end of the reinforcement bar on building sites is a good way of getting these cheap (FOC if you speak to a site chap them nicely - they buy them in the thousand and they're pennies). 234316_238504322_83a1ba52.jpg I have been known to put the pole in my shoe if I notic...

Gore tex paclite shell - used lots, zip broken, otherwise in good condition for it's age - no rips or tears. Size medium - but it's quite a small medium if that makes sense. Very much a cycling jacket, long arms, bum flap etc. Goretex paclite, think it's something like 2010 vintage! Free to someone ...

Hi All, 3 years ago I didn't need to worry about this at all and took health and fitness broadly for granted. Last couple of years have been very up and down for me, and I purposely didn't weight myself as I was in denial... Anyway, weighed myself for the first time in years on Monday...69.2kg :shoc...
