Those canfields seem a bit thin. Doesn’t the spindle cuase you foot bend the wrong way and therefore not engage with all the spikes?

just wondering becuase I’m used to flats being dished or actually flat so all the spikes dig into the base of the shoe fully.

My NBL’s havn’t shrunk at all, one is 3 years old, t’other is 2 years old. My howies jeans last longer than almost any other, but nowhere near 4 years I seem to bash the crotch out pronto

We do actually. Not always of course but mostly – the otherthing to remember is that there jeans are organic cotton which costs a lot more to produce ;]

Pedals win today.

Is the Howies merino top for £40 a misprint? Seems almost reasonable by their standards.

It’s the smug little messages that rule them out for me though, not the prices.

Loeka waterproof shorts for the ladies about time! Loeka's shorts have been available from Minx for yonks. Not as waterproof as a proper shell short but a hell of a lot nicer to wear and significantly more crash resistant, too. Ahem.

@ Gilles – you might want to check your temperature settings, never had any problems washing merino with the rest of my riding gear at 30 or 40 degrees.
