"Bought a size large, they fit really well and are comfortable to wear. I especially like the velco cuff which gives a good secure fit. I've used these gloves for a couple of weeks now and can't fault them. There isn't much padding but you do get a good feel of the controls.
On their own, these gloves aren't the warmest. Anything less than say 4 degrees and you'll feel the cold. I've used a pair or liners with them and that seems to be ok. So Spring/Autumn use only, also they're not waterproof but seem fine to resist the wind well enough.
I bought them when they were £19, but def wouldn't buy at £27 as not worth it."
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive

"I used this with a base layer, and it works just fine. The material is breathable, so I didn't heat up too much and the windproofing works well. So all in all very pleased with it. Be aware though, it is a slim fit, I'm not exactly chubby (6ft tall with a 32" waist) but I had to return a medium and get a large size. Also the rear pockets aren't huge, so you may be limited in what you can carry."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight

Lightweight, slimline, offering all round mud control. Great for use on hybrid / trekking bikes as well as mountain bikes.

"Overall these are not that expensive and do the job adequately. I got these for a Specialized Rock hopper. The rear guard is pretty easy to fit to the seat post, adjustment is easy but I would have liked the ability to angle it down just a little more. Unfortunately it’s impossible to fit the front guard as it fits to the downtube and Specialized run the gear cables down the front of the downtube."
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Poor Fit

"If you want to fit the seat to a mountain bike, you will probably need this bracket. I have a Clcud Butler Alpina so the head tube was quite large. The bracket scomes in about 8/10 pieces but isn't difficule to construct. You also get serveral different length bolts to attach the bracket. Exact positioning can be a little fiddly but doesn't take too long to adjust. Also the bar which holds the seat in place is quite a tight fit."
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive, Unadjustable, Unattractive

"I bought these as replacement pads for the own brand calipers on a Scott S50. Simple to fit, job done in about 5 mins. So far they seem to work well, wet or dry."

Just like the trail, but with a wider 60mm blade for use with fat tyre bikes running 24 or 26" wheels.

"Bought these for commuting to and from work. The fit very easily althought the plastic connector for the rear mudguard appears to be a little weak and I don't expect it will last very long especially if you take it off to clean the frame."
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Unadjustable, Low Quality

"We bought this at the same time we bought a bike seat on wiggle. It was very cheap in a promotion and I suppose you get what you pay for. This is the second Bell helmet I've owned and I have to say in both caes the fit has been bad. It's extremely fiddly to get the straps to lie correctly especially with a 15 month old who insists on wriggling all the time.
Pros: Cheap, good selection of colours/pictures
Cons: Poor fit and adjusting the straps is very fiddly"

Orion Child Seat
Front-fix seats, where your child is seated between your arms, can offer improved handling and a much nicer ride for you and your passenger than a rear-mounted seat. Visibility abd dialogue are increased and there is less chance of kicking your passenger when you get off! You also free up space to carry luggage on the rear rack. Make sure you have enough room on your bike to position the seat and pedal comfortably.

"We bought this seat so that we could go for rides with our 15 month old. He loves it, he can see around easily and doesn't get bored. Stability is good even when he wriggles about looking for his mummy.
Pros: good for communicating with your baby, baby sees more of what's going on, he feels protected with your arms around him. The seat is light so easy enough to cycle with.
Cons: You'll more than likely need the downtube adapter if you have a mountain bike, it's not too hard to fit but is a little fiddly to get adjusted just right. The seat position is such that it may interfere with your knees when cycling. The straps for holding babies feet in position and a good idea but took all of three seconds to be defeated by our son who insisted on taking them out once we started to move."

Designed to shave seconds off your time trials, the Chronometro's sleek lines, visor and neck extension minimize drag and air resistance to give you an aerodynamic advantage.
Is this helmet made in Italy? And is the visor not only detachable but retractable? Thanks.
Yes the helmet is made in Italy.
It comes with 2 visors and a helmet bag. You can detach visors relatively easily but they are not retractable, unfortunately. Mine misted up badly during a wet TT so I had to stop. Also the helemt is slightly too big for the helmet bag which kind of defeats the purpose really.

Does it have a zipped pocket?
Yes a small zipped pocket on the RHS on the back, but none on the front. It's not very big, enough for your house keys.

Will this fit to a Trek 4300?
I have a Trek 4300 with front suspension. Will these mud guards fit it?
yes they will fit, I use these on a Cluad Butler Alpina front suspension bike. The connector on the rear mudguard appears to be a little weak saying that I've been using them for 3 months now and it hasn't broken. Also the front mudguard uses a metal L bracket which requires a hole on the bridge between the front forks through which you pass a bolt. Mine didn't have have this so I cable tied it on.

Does it fit a small frame hybrid bike?
I would say no, I use these on a 22" frame/ 26" wheel front suspension mountain bike and the fit well.
