Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

Surely applies equally to any non premium pair of sunglasses. Not even sure it applies to premium sunglasses if i'm honest. The example above is not exactly a rigorous scientific examination of the pros and cons of expensive glasses. He needs to go out again, and smash his face into the floor a second time with his real glasses on to gather further data.

In order to achieve scientifically accurate studies I assume he would have to crash at least 20x with alternately the original or fake oakleys at the the same speed and angle etc..

I've done some work with Oakley before and they have a public display/roadshow doing this stuff, showing impact resistance from a heavy weight, lack of visual distortion, and impact resistance from a small/fast item.

The problem is that they also supply the items being tested against, so obviously the glasses shatter when shot with a BB - it would be pointless if they didn't, but it doesn't really let you draw any conclusions

"An Oakley representative told Cycling Weekly... that this would never have happened with genuine Oakley sunglasses."
Of course it wouldn't, haha.

If you're worried about your eyes and don't fancy paying through the nose for something just because it's cycling specific, a trip to your friendly, local builder's merchant will furnish you with glasses designed to resist impacts for less than a fiver.

And being as your average concrete-donkey would rather risk their eyesight than look like a tit, they now look more like sunnies than something a lab tech would wear.

Bolle make both.

crabon seatpost

have you used it yet? how is it holding up so far? I consider ordering one but don't fancy to tear myself a new one if it snaps...

Nearly 250 pages in and I don't think anyone's rectum has been impaled yet

Mine's still going strong and I'm rather heavy. Just the one bumhole for now.

Mine's lasted 7 days so far.

Any recommendations for saddle mount bottle cages?

Bontrager one is good.

Sure I've asked before but, link to seller?

If its the one he bought that's the same as mine, I got mine here

The actual item I bought has gone but this is the same post from the same seller.

Ill roll the anal dice then.

Sounds painful

Something more in the range of 15-20€?
