Needed to order a new speedo unit for my 450 from Temu and thought I might as well bump up the parcel a bit with some cycling goodies. The shoes fit surprisingly well, exactly the same size as my existing Shimano shoes and that saddle is just ridiculously light at 110g. Not so sure on the level of comfort it's going to provide though 😲

I was looking last night on Temu at the Carbon saddles. Some look very much like the Specialized saddles, at a fraction. Would be interesting to know if they are any good.Β

52mm (though on Roval C38s, which aren't the widest rims around, only 21mm internal). They should blow out wider on wider rims

Made the mistake to order from Bike24 with DHL, parcel at Sapo and not moving. 😭

One thing that worked for me a couple of years ago. Try to get hold of the SAPO person in charge of their twitter / X account. They helped me the last time. Customs needed an invoice to release the parcel and that was the issue. Once released I managed to get someone at CapeMail to allow me to go collect it there.Β
