NickD Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Following a post-ride coffee session the following was raised:What wouldnt you buy off the Hub?Cycling shoes?Cycling helmets?Bib shorts?
Guest agteros Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Shoes, Shorts, actually clothing in general 1/2 tub of chamois cream
rouxtjie Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Have bought shoes, but they were still in the box with tags attached. Helmets...no way, not for obvious sweating reasons, don't know where the dop has been ito of falls so no thanks Bibs...bleeeugh
reteid Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 i take it we are talking about used items?shoes would still be sort of ok but definitely not helmet or bib or sweatband/halo/gutter/buff etc.
AndreZA Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Trek bikes. Actually, I would not even buy it from a store. Edited September 13, 2011 by AndreZA
andretraut Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Any apparel related item, period! Edited September 13, 2011 by andrè traut
Tiny K Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah, I would stay away from any item that gets human contact and sweat..... So shoes is OK'ish, but bibs, helmets, gloves, sweat bands and the like I would not buy. Jerseys are a difficult matter - you can wash it and it has not been in contact with any dodge areas..... but then again.... hmmm. NOT
Eugene Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 It's amazing how many shoes get traded on the Hub. I agree, wearing something that has been on someone else's germ infested feet is not something that I would do.
brad890 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Any apparal related item, period! + 1 here plus i wouldnt buy chains and cassettes that are slightly used, according to sale
Caerus Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 One wash, then clothes, shoes & helmets are clean, No germs or sweat marks. Don't see what the issue is
Thumper Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Wouldn't buy a bride from this place!As new .... low mileage ... Edited September 13, 2011 by Thumper
