Produced in CAB as Chromoplastics these mudguards are highly resistant to corrosion and ultra violet radiation resulting in great flexibility and a virtually unbreakable product.

"Before buying these mudguards I had Racing Blades but found them to not very good this year following the bad weather on country lanes. I still got dirty feet and a muddy frame. These mudguards overcome this problem. They were fiddly to fit and as others have said the stays needed cutting with a hacksaw. I found it useful to do a dry run on fitting the stays into the clips and then not adding the rubber caps until I had cut the to length. Without the rubber caps.it was easier to adjust the stays length. Also the bracket by the brake had to be fitted between the brake and the frame due to design on my TREK 1000. The blocks needed adjusting."
Pros: Durable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: poor fitting instructions

"Being 6'3" tall of slight build I was concerned about the fit. I purchased a Large as the XL was too baggy round the chest. Basically the jacket was a good fit apart from the sleeves being slightly short. I liked the draw cord at the waist as a loose fitting in this area has been a problem with other jackets/jerseys I have bought. The draw cord at the neck is also a good feature. I like the small pocket on the front as this suitable for keys etc."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Fit, good apart from slightly short sleeves.

"Having followed the Size Guide I ordered a Large but being 6 ft 3 inches tall I was concerned about body and sleeve length. I need not have worried as it is a good fit, and the waist band is effective. I do find the neck a little stiff and high so I often ride with the zip down an inch or so."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Good Fit
Cons: back pocket access high

Racing 7 Clincher Road Bike Wheelset
Essentially unchanged from the technical point of view compared to the 2009 version, the Racing 7 wheels sport the new Fulcrum graphics that have been applied to the whole Fulcrum Road range. The message is immediate: Speed and Competition. Two concepts that match perfectly with the DNA and the unparalleled sports successes of Fulcrum.
Racing7 wheels have an aluminium rim with a height of 24 mm and aerodynamic profile and machined braking surfaces with wear indicator. Hubs are oversize, flanged, and turning on sealed cylindrical bearings.
Twenty 2mm spokes are radially laced on the front wheel to improve the bike's aerodynamics. The rear wheel, on the other hand, has 24 spokes laced according to Fulcrum's renowned 2:1 Two-to-One™ geometry to improve transmission of the athlete's power.
Fulcrum 7racing wheels set 2008-2009
Are these suitable for a Shimano cassette with 8 cogs?
