Soldato
Ive been tempted by some of the Gore stuff but just not sure!
Planet X have some decent shorts available at good prices.Whats everyone suggestions on the best bang for buck Bib shorts and jersey combo?
I have DHB Aeron shorts (i think) at the moment, but my jersey needs replacing as it was bought when i was 2 stone lighter than I am now (not all flab, more so muscle from stonglifts in the gym).
AS usually i dont want to break the bank!
Never done proper group rides, but safety first better to be alive and well and dropped than anything else.

Ouch labbby, but certainly a cool story. I hear nail polish is supposed to be good if you get the colour match right then a bit of clearcoat on top.
Have a look at https://galibier.cc/ and there's also Lusso
oo i like the look of some of these!
My full winter bib tights are from Galibier and are excellent. I've been meaning to order one of their new Sentinel jerseys which looks Gabba-esq - could be a bargain at £66. Their new Regale shorts also look good.
Good call, let me know what you think of it and how it works
Finally managed to replace my Chain with a KMC X10, had a silly moment where I missed the plastic spacer gap in the rear mech, and had already joined the chain, which meant once I noticed I couldn't get the Missing link apart without a proper tool. Which meant a nice trip to halfords!
3mm allen key would have had the rear mech cage off within a minute (and you'd be able to clean it and the jockey wheels nicely).
Unfortunately just the normal Perfettos which I find great for so many different circumstances, even wore one only a month ago when it was lashing it down, but did overheat in the end.Does anyone have a Perfetto Light (or Perfetto ROS Light depending on the year)?
I'm tempted by one as it seems to be rated for warmer days than the Gabba (12 to 20 degC vs 9-16 degC), so could be ideal for summer use. This weekend's forecast is 15 to 22 with 20 to 50% chance of rain. Sort of weather where just at the point you're getting properly wet and thus tempted to stop (sorry, I lack the teckers to do it whilst riding!) to put a jacket on but then you clear the front and it stops raining...
Galibier's version is a fair bit cheaper (£65 vs £105) but similar suggested temp range to the Gabba.

You know what...didn't even think of that. It's all quite clean though I used a degrease full clean a few weeks ago... either way thanks for the tip. Feel so dumb now.
I'm also now considering a bottom bracket replacement but need to see what my one is when I get home.
Don't suppose anyone can suggest good cable cutting tool that won't break my bank too? Outers and and inners.
I’ve got a pair very similar to these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-Bicycle-Brake-Cutter-Repair/dp/B01864IN82/ref=sxin_7_ac_d_rm?ac_md=2-2-Y2FibGUgY3V0dGVycyBiaWtl-ac_d_rm&crid=19UO8GOF72XQY&cv_ct_cx=cable+cutters&dchild=1&keywords=cable+cutters&pd_rd_i=B01864IN82&pd_rd_r=34c38db3-de46-4d7a-992d-12f3a7da15dc&pd_rd_w=q5hZu&pd_rd_wg=0KWtt&pf_rd_p=0c799c14-fd2d-4652-a647-3581649b0ff7&pf_rd_r=NFHVG29RKMNAVZ16TD39&psc=1&qid=1597083181&sprefix=Cable+cu,aps,168&sr=1-3-fe323411-17bb-433b-b2f8-c44f2e1370d4
I rate them better than the Park Tool ones.
