Who's feeling it? I started commuting by bike about 3 months ago and I'm loving it - free, green, wicked exercise, quicker than a bus and good fun too. Totally converted. I want to get a new bike at some point, anyone get any tips? Any fans of single-speeds? |

have you got padded shorts? much better than even the most comfortable saddle. Can wear under normal shorts etc (just dont wear boxers as well). I recommend - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/dhb-aeron-cycling-short/ as the best value for money shorts How do these fit mate? medium is 33-35 id say size up if you were a 35 or possibly even 34 |

That F85 at £600 is a great price. Would there be a considerable difference between 58cm and 60cm frames? or is it just a case of heightening the seat post a bit and maybe a longer stem? keep in mind the different types of bikes ie touring and cyclocross, will have different geometries resulting in the need for a different size. cyclocross bike will have a higher bottom bracket clearance so it may be a size or two smaller than what you would take for a road or touring bike.. |

Bibs are the way forward, I wear these when the weather is decent http://www.shuttvr.com/shop/productdetail/Shutt-Pro-Bib-Shorts/ and these when it's shite http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/bib-tights-bib-longs-Biemme-Coronado-Dynamic-Bib-Tights-with-pad/BIEMZBBT250 Deffo size up as well |

can anyone recommend any good 700c tyres thinking about vittoria randeurs or whatever they are called as they are dirt cheap on wiggle right now as a tiny bit of glass thrashed up my inner tube beyond repair because I'm using a terrible tyre that's pinching all of my tubes so they burst on everything. |
