  • on the cuffs L shows the size. on the plantar toe area you should find the R L sign for right/left

  • Life is too short to have Left/Right specific socks.

    It’s bad enough with the shoes.

  • sock rebels cycling club

  • If any one has an upcoming Rapha purchase, I have £130 of gift vouchers that I dont currently have a use for (have too much cycling gear and not cycling as much due to young baby!) If anyone wants to help me out and buy them at face value please let me know. They are valid until 3rd December so should be good for any Black Friday deals too.

  • Excuse my ignorance, but what's benefit for the other person here?

  • LoL I was so ignorant that I didn´t even bother to ask that

  • Does everything have to be incentivised?

  • A warm fuzzy feeling of doing someone a tiny favour?

  • A lofty and valid question; one for the socio economists I suspect.
    I personally don't think I'd get very far asking such a request without at least some minor benefit for the other participant. Perhaps that's where I'm going wrong though and I need to cheer up.

  • I think you're right. They should have offered the voucher at face-value plus an hours community service, like picking litter or planting a veg garden on a roundabout.

  • but what's benefit for the other person here?

    An inability to later get a refund if they change their mind on their purchase?

  • What is the appropriate going rate for discount for a rapha voucher? Asking as someone who has a £100 voucher they don’t want

  • Does everything have to be incentivised?

    Yes it does. It would literally take more effort and accrue more risk to use this guy’s voucher than to just use your own credit card for a purchase. You’d be mad to accept it at face value. The decent thing to do would be to offer it at a small discount as is normal on here.

    Jesus, what planet are you from?

  • Thinking of buying a Brevet Long Sleeve, the thing that's holding me back is the sleeve length. Dose anyone know if you need to be Orangutan for them to fit?

  • Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to fold or roll sleeves on cycling gear

  • Yeah, but I don't want it to fit like a back to school blazer

  • It's almost laughable that you say this and the last thread you created was "selling Herne Hill fireworks tickets at face value"

  • The fact that the fireworks tickets were snapped up and the voucher still seems to be available illustrates there is a difference.

  • The main one being nobody wants Rapha anymore.

  • What size? I have an XL in GC I might let go

  • Has the auction for the rapha voucher started yet? Can I phone it in as I’ll be in meetings?

  • Totally agree. Although £120M of evidence last year that people were still buying, somewhere.

    We must also agree it's ok for someone to ask if a voucher can be sold on at face-value and it's kind of hypocritical for a poster to say "to offer it at a small discount as is normal on here" having very recently done the exact opposite.
