cheers for the heads up nasty! got myself a nice little haul that i well can't afford, btu can't resist cheap bike parts!

thanks woody, thanks heaps... please tell me its a 26 rim?!?!?!

at least i dont have to carry a bike bag too...

i'll be schelpping that stuff back on tuesday night

haha no problem, i do what i can...

As I'm considering my first forray into clips and straps, are the MKS not-njs double toestraps priced for a pair of straps or just one? Cause I'm tempted...
I'd choke up for the Kashimax doubles but I can't stand the colour they're in. Is dying/painting them too much effort?

"MKS **not-njs **double toestraps"

Not NJS? really poor performance morgan.
Good to see you're getting clips at least, whip out the bling shoes.

You have no idea how bling my shoes are, no idea at all.

The non-njs are the only ones in the sale, as the toshis in black are out of stock and the Kashimax are a disgusting colour, they're my only options. On RX-1's, however, so still fairly njs-y

the mks non-njs are identical to the njs ones, apart from the fact they dont have njs logo printed onto strap.
the kashimax ones should be 125...

get double straps for safety and the win!

rx-1s are great pedals - just got my third pair...

"apart from the fact they dont have njs logo printed onto strap" - but the big difference is you'll get mad respect for njs double straps, where as the mks are just straps

i have both. there's no difference. apart from some silver print that when viewed upside down reads sin...

craig, gbh sold me the sugino chainring for £30 saying that it shouldve been 60 but cause theyve had it round for so long, y'know

@ rockabilly
the sugino 130pcd is 44t if thats any use to you...

no that'd be too small, thanks for the offer though craig,

"apart from the fact they dont have njs logo printed onto strap" - but the big difference is you'll get mad respect for njs double straps, where as the mks are just straps

everyone is taking you as seriously as they are ignoring the amazing elephant in the corner (well, above this post on this page)...

no nes, i might try it one day, but i think it'll kill me.. somedays i use the basket on the postbike for 2 bags.. thatd be pretty hard on my fixie.

i put a poster up at work today nes, but by the time i'd finished my round it was gone! i'll try a differnt noticeboard tomorrow (i dont think they like anything thats not Royal Mail propaganda)

wow thanks though lovely..yeah i don't blame you for not using it, reckon it would be WELL hard...i know you're beefed up but that would be a bit too much, that's why I asked..

@jammy - dibs on the stronglight chainset if Hammo doesnt want it....

ness - on that tip, you seen this one of clodge's great granddad???
