The Crud RoadRacer Mk2 Mudguard Set is a lightweight mudguard set designed to fit road bikes with tight clearances and without mudguard mounts.
Overall rating
Light weight and highly effective

"A .little bit fiddly to fit, but the online video is much better than the written instructions so I didn't have too many problems putting this together. You can also adjust the length of each guard depending on which tip you decide to fix. I love the way the rear guard is also designed to offer maximum protection to the front mech. Very reasonably priced too and adds very little weight to the bike. Will fit any standard size road bike."
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: written instructions could be clearer.

A traditional goggle with added comfort and visibility. The Kaiman goggle is an excellent competitive-style goggle that offers features superior to a traditional swim goggle.
Overall rating
Fairly cheap pair of goggles for everyday use

"Okay for everyday use, but find teh straps often need adjusting usually at the beginning of every swim. Fit not quite as good as some of the pricier Aqua Sphere goggles. You get what you pay for."
Pros: Attractive, Adjustable, Lightweight
Cons: needs frequent adjustments

Fruit flavoured carbohydrate gel for an instant energy boost whilst on the move. Gentle on the stomach, easy to use and available in a choice of two great tasting flavours, blackcurrant and orange.
Overall rating
Nice flavour - does the job

"Easily digestible while on the move and less foil in wrapper than some (matters when you have fillings in your molars). Cheaper alternative to High 5, SIS etc. so good to see Wiggle come up with a fuss-free, reasonably priced competitor. Lack of variety could get a bit dull on long rides, so I mix these up with High 5 gels. Maybe Wiggle could sell a pack of 50% blackcurrant, 50% orange gels."
Pros: Lightweight, good value
Cons: lack of variety

A lightweight summer sock in Coolmax® mesh, ideal for cycling in hot conditions. The open mesh zones secure high breathability and also make the sock ideal for spinning down at the gym. Low-cut profile for minimal coverage of the ankle.

"I'm size 10 UK (44 European) and I got the large size. It's a little generous, but not so as you'd notice. Nice and light. Unfussy and ideal for summer - not so thin that you feel like you're wearing nothing at all, but no so thick as to make your feet sweat."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Lightweight

"I use this to protect my road bike over the winter. It's probably not robust enough to withstand outdoor storage, but is fine if you're keeping your bike in a garage or side alley. Good size that will fit most bikes easily without being too baggy."

"Ideal on cool autumn and early spring days, but probably a little too thin for winter rides. (It struggled a bit with a 15mph November headwind.) Hugging, aerodynamic design with no sagging at a reasonable price. And looks really good (unlike some earlier dhb designs)."
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: suited to 12 degrees c and above.

"Good value pair of bib tights just right for commuting or slightly longer rides. I haven't yet taken them out beyond 2.5 hours yet, but I'm sure they'll be good for 100k rides. Slightly big round the waist, but otherwise sizing is pretty good. (I'm 1m84 with a 32 inch waist and went for the medium.)"

"Light weight very good value shoe. Has a slight plastic feel to it and the Velcro straps are slightly too long, but a comfortable, padded fit and an improvement on the last dhb entry level pair I had which did me well for a good 5 years or so. I like the colours and design too."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: oversized velcro straps

Black/blue. Vapour is a very light grey. Looks good, though.

A thick moisturising solution for comfort and reduced friction on endurance road rides. Apply to your seatpad on shorter rides or apply to both your skin and seatpad on epic sportives and stage races.
Any good for preventing nipple rash?!
Top 1000 Contributor
I've used it against jogger's nipple on short distances in the heat and it's worked really well. Not tested it on a long run. It won't damage the fabric of your top.

Featuring an ergonomic 3D design for a comfortable and secure fit, Speedo moulded silicone swim caps create a smooth, hydrodynamic outline in the water. Available in a variety of colours, they are ideal for regular training.
Is the Fantasy Pink clour really pink, or is it red?
On the picture it looks red?
I just need a cheap swimming cap with a bright colour, for open water swimming.

Cool weather padded waist tight suited to Autumn training rides. (dhb Vaeon - previously dhb PACE)
small waist, long legs - which size?
I'm 6' 1" with a 32" waist and 33" inside leg. Will a size Medium be long enough?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, I'm the same size of you except my waist is 32". The leg size is ideal. But I found the waist too big and these tend to sag unattractively when I'm off the bike.
