Depends on where your saddle is positioned compared to back wheel.
Totally useless on my polo bike, but great on my track bike.
(Shame I never take my track bike outin the rain) -

Sorry - I thought they were popular? No vested interest in post, don't even use them...

Just received my Union 34 Hoodie from Rutland cycling.
Haven't tried it on a ride yet so don't know what it's technical performance is like, but I'm quite impressed having tried it on at the fit and features.
For £25 (and as little as £20 for some of the ladies hoodies) down from £75 it's a fucking bargain. Shit, I think it's cheaper than a basic H&M hoodie.

be careful :(
I've already asked for a refund. And they don't even want them back. They're incredibly shit.
I also asked to be refunded a roll of cloth tape and a pair of bars.

Endura Racing Ex-Team bikes/frames
http://www.endura.co.uk/blog.asp?BlogID=154I've emailed them again to get pictures - I will defo take it if the colourscheme is the Zed one (Yellow/Red/Blue/Black)
The price is much better now - back in June, I enquired and this is what I received:
The track bike we have for sale is a Look 496 in Medium and is supplied with Look seatpost, handlebars and bottom bracket (no saddle, chainset, chain or sprocket) for £3200. We also have pair of Zipps (800 front and 900 rear) for £1050. The bike was Chris Pritchard’s who was with Endura Racing for the year, but due to injury has seen light use and so is in great condition.

What are they like for skidz?
-
• #246
I've only mad skidded standard Zaffiro's and they skid really well without losing too much rubberz.
I use the Zaffiro Pro's on my road bike so I can't comment on mad skidz skillz qualities.

isn't the only difference between Pro and standard the wired/folding bead? I think the actual tyre compounds and construction are the same.

I got one of these too. very nice for the discounted price. also got one of their shirts but I have a couple of weeks of my diet/running to go before it'll be suitable for wearing in public as i got a size smaller.

^^ Cinelli Pinocchio - can confirm they are very scratchy, but wedge them open and they're fine, went on easily on my 3TTT bar. Also redcurrant top bolt is very superfluous but easy does it to avoid rounding out. Also a nice offset to the purple in the Reynolds 653 decals.

Just ordered 4 Zaffiro's. thanks for that Vince, just what i was looking for!
And totally worthless. Unless you value a thin strip of dry back while the rest of your rear is soaked and flecked with shit. Just sayin.
