    Just curious to know what cycling goodies you would like to see in your Christmas stocking ? OK, I'm really just looking for ideas for the cyclists in my life ;)

    So far Santa has brought a new Garmin, new Oakley's, new Hanna, new bib tights and full set of new kit in the past month. He'll do well to be able to afford anything new forward a short while.

    Have changed clubs so will have to be purchasing new club kit in the not so distant future anyway.

    Im a large, but the medium is nice and snug fitting, just as i hoped (and they do say so on their site.).
    Also, they are not plain black, there is three fluorescent yellow panels

    My Wife asked me if I wanted a keter storage box for Christmas so I could get my bikes out of the house during the day 😀.

    Anyone know if these can fit two bikes.
    While I won’t be taking her up on her offer I might buy one myself.
    It would be the one that you usually see people putting two wheelie inside.

    Is it this one you have all ordered/received?
    I collected mine two weeks ago, the weather has been awful since, but i have gotten out on it twice - one 45k and one 25k, i really love it, its my first time with disc brakes and they are excellent.
    The gearing on it is excellent too, easier climbing, and quicker on the flat. The weight is lovely, and when you do get out of the saddle to sprint/climb it is very responsive.
    Oh, and the saddle is very comfortable too.

    T8000 dual sided SPD pedals to replace my A530 ones. Had a few slips using the flat side in wet weather doing adventure races last year.
