"For those longer rides this is a great product.Ive completed several century rides in comfort.For maxium comfort ,although be prepared for a spongey effect if you use all the gel inserts.
This is the 2nd time Ive purchased this product its easy to apply and I only had to replace mine due to a road accident,Im sure it would have lasted for several years as the previous lasted 3 years...what more can I say?"

"It took me a while to convert to cartridges-however once you have the knack they are so quick.These are as good as any others Ive used-I connect them to a specialised connector.Always use a rag or gloves to prevent you from sticking your hand to the cartridges!
Also semi inflate your tube prior to fitting either by lungs or pump."

"I was slightly cynical when I 1st read about the "force" and "attack",however they are a great combination.The rear almost sticks to the tarmac when accellerating
Easy to roll on to your clincher.
Not as hard wearing but if you follow continentals web site guidance when purchasing their tyres you wont go wrong.
I tend to use a variety of continental tyres depending on the event and thier function"

The Speedo TriathELITE range harnesses the Speedo Aqualab ®’s R&D expertise and understanding of the human body, performance materials and the environment.
Which Speedo Wetsuit?
I compete in triathlons and and a fairly good swimmer. Am faster without a wetsuit so probably not in need of too much buoyancy, & like freedom of movement for my arms. Would need it for speed and long distance swims.
Am looking at the Speedo Tri Elite, STR Elite, and Thin-Pro. Please could you tell me the difference between the Tri Elite and STR Elite? Also is the Thin Pro suitable for long distance swimming?
Thanks

Our top of the range triple lens sunglasses provide 100 per cent UVA and UVB protection.
Are the lenses polarised?
The description doesn't state whether some, all, or none of the lenses are polarising. I find this a key feature for cutting glare with sunglasses, so would be keen to know either way before deciding whether these are the sunglasses for me.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks for your help.
Thats a good question!I assumed they were!Ive worn them in glaring sunshine with no eye strain

How does one change the lenses?
Unfortunately there is no explanation or notice that comes with the glasses.
Can someone explain how one changes the leses?
Thanks.

If you slightly apply pressure to the ends while levering down with your fingers it will clip out .Once youve done it ,it happens naturally.
