Word of warning. They scratch extremely easily (first use). You'd be much better off getting a pair of the Aldi or Lidl sunglasses. Whilst not as durable as I'd like well worth the extra price over these.

I bought three pairs a few months back for the grand total of €7.90 posted. 1 x dark tint, 1 x clear and 1 x yellow tint. I have been wearing the dark tints ones on every spin since and have dropped them a few times and no scratches on them. For the price they're extremely hard to beat. I honestly don't see what the likes of €100 oakleys could do any differently or better.

Am I right in saying these aren't 700mm wheels, but 622? Sorry for being a complete noob

Weird!! but they are the same.

622s are the same as 700s.
Something to do with different ways of measuring diameters.

Contain polarising lenses that kill sun glare off a wet Road.

Thanks Eamonator, that had me stumped (and still doesn't make sense) as I saw them described as both around the web, now 53 mins to decide if I can sneak them past the missus

Eamonnator · 13-05-2015 11:09PM

Don't look for permission,beforehand. Ask for forgiveness, afterwards.

I've bought polarised glasses before for ten dollars. It's a marketing thing that polarised lenses are expensive

Not at all. You can get them on very cheap glasses. It's not simply that that's expensive I was just highlighting one thing that differs between these glasses (I have a pair) and say oakleys.

Oakley very deliberately price all their products very highly as part of their business model to create a premium brand.

Are these things any use?

Sure are unless you have a quick link in your chain and can just take it off and put it in a bottle with cleaning fluid of your choice

I use the Muc Off one and find it great, you do have to re do it a few times unless you do it very regularly but once done it makes a huge difference

Just for the record, I bought one at full price and it fell apart. The plastic kind of dried out if that makes sense. Then again it was 3 years old so I'm asking a lot......

No. They're a stocking filler. Use once or until the cleaning solution is gone then thrown in a box never to be used again. Just buy a quick link and when you're cleaning your bike pop the chain off and clean it properly this takes all of 2 mins.

Bambaata · 19-05-2015 03:52PM

I find chain cleaners very very handy. The brushes help get in between links. At 12 thats a really good price. Lidl or Aldi (cant rem which) had and may still have them slightly cheaper at the moment. I picked one up last week and had used a previous version for about 3 years until i broke it (not when operating it, i stood on it!)

Just as an aside, what are you using as a degreasing fluid once the supplied measure runs out??

Thanks

I'd dilute it 50/50 with water though, it's very thick!
