FOR SALE
Pair of Specialised BG Mtb boots- or nice commuter boots
Size 45 UK
Worn 4 times, no damage, stains etc- inside still looks new
Will include shimano mtb cleats if needed
£40 + postage from Manchester
One photo of my pair which is awful, plus one nicked from singletrack website
Singletrack magazine said this about them- the main conclusion being for all non deep winter off road use they're great, but pricey. Now they aren't!
Specialized Trail 120, From: Specialized UK 0208 3913500
Price: £139.99
Features: Velcro straps, toe studs, Umma Gumma tread, Body Geometry ergonomics.
As winter-specific boots the Trail 120s fall at the first hurdle, a ‘water-resistant’ upper means that anything more than a puddle will mean wet feet, but for waterproof sock users, and those looking for a general year-round boot, there is lots to like. Four velcro straps hold your feet and ankles in place and you feel well held in with lots of support all round, the carbon sole adds to the feeling of being really locked in and part of your bike. A strange feeling, but one that means you feel more in control. The tread is made of ‘Umma Gumma rubber’ which is great on wet rock, and the fact that you can fit studs earns it more points. A touch more re-enforcing in the area of your little toe wouldn’t have gone amiss, as this is usually where feet meet rocks but there are sturdy plastic cups at the front and rear for ‘head-on’ impacts. Being a Specialized shoe you get the Body Geometry treatment with all kinds of clever features to keep your knees, feet and hips happy, and you really can feel the difference.
Overall: Although there are better options for winter riding, for general all year round wear the Trail 120s are great, not cheap though.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
