Designed primarily for comfort, this short prevents fatigue on the longer rides. it's 8 panel anatomic fit and soft touch waistband add to this effect, while great features like Action 210 gram microdenier powerlycra add abrasion resistance.
"Reviewed by my wife: These Principessa shorts are utterly unwearable, resulting in the most painful ride of my life. Basically, the thinner top layer of the chamois is separate from the padded bottom layer. Not to mince words: the top layer bunches up into your 'v' *This site won't let me write the correct anatomical word*. When you are riding, you cannot pull the material down from the outside of the shorts because all you're pulling on is the separate bottom layer of padding. (Even if you could pull it down, that's no way to ride a bike!!!) In case you're thinking the shorts may have been too big, on the contrary, they were a very snug fit. I own many brands, including other Castelli models, and these are the only shorts where the entire chamois is not securely laminated into a whole. I bought the Principessa shorts because they were portrayed as having a superior pad for longer rides - for me that would be rides over 100km. Thank god I only did a 40km ride the day I wore them! Castelli say they are 'made for women by women'. I say only a flat plastic Barbie doll could ride in these. Just dreadful."
Pros: wide elastic grip band on legs
Cons: Expensive, Poor Fit, excruciatingly uncomfortable, badly designed chamois
A precision-made secure and adjustable mount for your Garmin Edge which positions the Garmin computer display below the top of the handlebars, centred and in-front of the stem, giving the user an improved ergonomic view and being more air resistant.
"Works very well. Saves the neck by allowing a better heads up view of the Garmin. The Garmin (800 in my case) fits more snugly then in the Garmin supplied stem mount. The mount is robust and fits my carbon Zipp bars very well. Would give it 5 out of 5 but for the over inflated price."
Fluid, anatomically designed bib shorts with ‘Action 205’ and Carbon Fibre performance stretch fabrics. Contrast styling and state of the art Elastic Interface ‘Giro Air’cycling pad.
Premium cycling bib shorts from dhb at an astonishing price. Top-level ‘Tour Air’ Elastic Interface cycling pad from CyTech for serious sessions in the saddle. Moisture management ‘Field Sensor’ fabric deals with perspiration fast.
"These are better then they look. Sizing is to the chart. At 180cm and 83kgs I fit nicely into a medium. Makes a change from the Italian sizing saga. The pad is probably the best part. Not overly bulky but at the same time very well constructed and firm in the right places. Pad coverage all round is excellent, it is also nicely supported by the surrounding fabric. It would be great to see a colour variation as an excuse to buy another pair."
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"On the road these patches are the best. Very easy to apply ... if you also flat in your spare and need a fix. Sure the glue on patches may be more durable, but you probably will have problems applying them in the field. These 'glue ons' take up no room in the saddle bag and will definately get you home."
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight

TL-AU100 BS LED Rear Light
Wide angle lens ensures excellent integral British Standard reflector. Constant or flashing modes. Batteries included.
"Nice and bright and viewable from the side. Purchased this for my Son who now has a job in his 'gap' year, cycling to work in the early morning he really stands out. This light under the seat and a smaller 'frog' hanging off his backpack. All flashing, you can't miss him. May be a little expensive but only time will tell if it goes the distance. Has been through a couple of downpours and still working on the first set of batteries, almost a month now."
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Good Fit

Steel Floor Drive Track Pump 2011
Steel foot, barrel and piston with varnished wood handle, 47”/120cm extra-long, premium-grade hose, Nylon Flip-Thread Chuck threads securely to both Presta and Schrader valves, Long travel piston with reduced barrel diameter lowers pumping effort, Oversized, water resistant, 2.5” diameter gauge asse...
"Had an existing floor pump with a rather inaccurate gauge. This Lezyne floor pump was a revelation. Smooth action and a very accurate gauge makes pumping the tyres a breeze. I now am able to set tyre pressures within a few PSI, varying pressure for different road surfaces. Pump is very well made and should last for many years. Highly recommended."
Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Good Fit
Positioned for minimum wind resistance and easy access these bags are ideal for triathletes or other riders wanting to keep energy food or other small items close at hand.
"Very good product and will probably fit most bikes. Very useful for long rides when you want to have some comfort items close at hand ie... lip sunscreen, tissues, gels and cookies, mobile phone. Also useful for touring if you want to have a camera ready at hand. I cut out the internal padding as it seemed overkill and was taking up space. Have not had to use the rain hood as yet, but would like to see the inclusion of a small velcro tab to secure it."
Pros: Durable, Adjustable, Lightweight, Versatile, Good Fit
Cons: Limited Color Choices

Kiss 3 Seat Pad
The kiss3 seat pad aims to incorporate as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price.
1. Seamless skin care layer
A super soft, brushed microfiber top that maximizes comfort and fit. Seamlessly engineered to eliminate chafing and abrasion. Flexible to move with you. Bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infection.
2. Continuously variable thickness
Dual density and infinitely variable thickness gives you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter.
3. Anatomical shape
Comfort is further enhanced by creating a perfect interface to your body during every pedal stroke.
"These bib tights are great value at Wiggle at the moment. The inside is a brushed finish and about all you need on a cold Perth (West Australia) morning. The Kiss3 pad is a very good allrounder and suitable for the long rides without being over bulky. I am 180cms and 82kgs and I fit the XL with little room to spare. They also look good and come in a range of colour options. Only criticism is that the ankle zipps are a little dodgy, they don't always lock down and are prone to creeping up the ankle which is a very tight fit, well in fact, one will mostly lock and the other not at all. Tucking into the sock is not a good look ..."
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
Lightweight alloy cage with superior bottle retention.
Is the blue exactly the same as pictured?
I bought a similar Raleigh bottle cage from Wiggle about a year ago and it was navy blue. Is the one you're selling now navy blue or the lighter (brighter) blue as pictured? Thanks!
Top 500 Contributor
Not as dark as Navy Blue, closer to Royal Blue! It is a little darker then the photo.
cyclus drop out alignment tool. the picture shows th tool beeing used against the the seat tube rather than the rear wheel rim,
as it seems as though there are no instructions with the tool, is this how this particular tool is used or does it use the rear wheel rim like the park tool version?
Top 500 Contributor
It works just like the Park tool, off the rear wheel. There is a small 2.5mm hex bolt to take the slack out of the axle, it is easily missed without the instructions.

Merston Padded Bib Tights
The Merston range - breathable and affordable - the ideal choice for riding in cooler conditions
6'2" tall, 34" waist, 34" inside leg - which size?
I find many other cycle clothing products are far too short in the leg. I'm keen to avoid this with bib tights, which I haven't purchased before.
Top 500 Contributor
These are fairly 'long' in the leg. I don't think you will have any problem with the large size.

Does this swimsuit have bust support?
It would help if the information about whether a swimsuit has added bust support or not was added to all the descriptions. I keep having to ask and then waiting for the information to be added before I buy.
Top 500 Contributor
It has not bust support. It has no linning so be careful with this product:)

Does the Cateye V3 Computer bring the heart rate sensor if not wich one do I need to buy?
Top 500 Contributor
Yes the unit comes complete, ie: computer, cadence/speed sensor and heart rate strap monitor. Also all attachments. Suggest you also get electrode cream.
