For those who want to protect their frame but also want to still be able to see their paint jobs, durable in the extreme but stealthy to boot.

"Had about 4/5 of these on my frame for about a year now and they are still well and truly stuck on. one sticker on the chainstay has "leaked" slightly so you can see abit of mud underneath it but that doesnt bother me too much. Bit pricey for what they are but, by cheap and you'll buy twice. You will only need one pack for a frames entire life i think."
Pros: Durable, Rugged, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit

Mini Rear Light
It may look like other lights out there, but it doesn't cost as much and does the same thing so why would you choose another? The ultimate solution to emergency lighting!

"I use this light by strapping it through one of the vents in my helmet on flash mode. this is just a secondary light for abit of extra visibility. Not bright enough to be used on its own."

"first "proper" cycling top i have owned, usually just wear a cotton t shirt this top is so much cooler now the temperatures are rising. Have worn it just on its own or with a base layer underneath. Im quite tall so usually struggle with length in the back and things riding up but this is plenty long enough. Good price wasnt prepared to pay that much for what is essentially not alot of product (ie team wear at £60 a go!!)"

"This is the second one of these I have bought, the first came with the crankset I got and then this is the replacement. The first lasted a good 1000miles of all year round riding, serviced probably 4-5 times during that time, cleaned out and repacked with grease. Eventually it was the non drive side bearing that went so went for the same BB and after about 100 miles still nice and tight as you would expect. Regular servicing and this will keep going long enough for the money happy to spend £25ish every 1000miles for a nice smooth running BB."

"Got 3 of these bottles now, 2 normal and 1 with a straw for when wearing a full face helmet. Got that one from a different site, good quality bottles, easy to measure the powder out when you're using them, good thing is that you just get the liquid inside and by that i mean you dont suck air in as well making it more effort to get the liquid. At £3-4 a pop you cant complain, just add one to an order every other time or so just chuck them when they're done with."

"Having read the other reviews on this site and from MBUK, i decided to buy these shoes. Yes, they have lots of grip, lots of style and are robust to withstand all those nasties on the trails.
But im going to mention something that i dont think anyone else has on here. Im using these with DMR V8's and after only what must be about 20hours using the two together, the soles are showing real signs of being chewed up. This might just be the fact that im a pretty big lad, 6' 5 and about 15stone but just thought i should mention it.
Other than that, they're great, if the soles do end up getting chewed up pretty bad, then i'd probably get them re-skimmed as the rest of the shoes is that good."

"My marin came with the SPD and flat pedal combo, and frankly were rubbish. Bought these as I was abit short of money at the time, but was very pleasantly suprised. These are very good value for money considering the performance they give. Combined with my shimano AM40s my feet havnt slipped once. You struggle to even shift your feet on the pedals to get comfortable, you actually have the lift your feet off the pedals and put them down in the position you want. Great stuff. Keep them well greased and they'll be good for ages."

"Good quality product, long enough to go through front wheel, rear wheel and frame.
Only one complaint really is the little bit of velcro that is there to keep the cable wound up when not in use isnt very good, quite weak, but no biggy, wouldnt stop me from buying it."

Can I use toe clips with this pedal? If not, can you recommend a good pedal for a similar price which I can use toe clips with on a road bike?
dmr v8 FLAT pedals. No clips. Look on bikeradar for some reviews on clips, and most other things to do with bikes.
