If you flatten the underside on a belt sander, they are the perfect cycling shoes and they look like the original period shoes too. If anyone has an old pair lying around in UK 8, let me know and I'll take it off your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't say Rapha but I will give myself a lifetime warranty on the stitching, zips and material! BogusOne and Sid the Sloth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted June 18, 2021 Share My Klipsch earbud fell out on Wednesday while cycling and a tractor went over it. Not paying a small fortune for a pair again so ordered these off Amazon for €50.Read a few reviews and decided to give them a try. Wow they actually sound great for the money. Way better than original iPhone earbuds???? They also water resistant and come with a soft silicone cover to protect them from drops.

Come clean here Gummi ... were you riding illegally on a farmers land and he was chasing you with his tractor, your ear piece fell out and you were too scared/did not have the time to turn around and get it before the old timer in the tractor ran over it while still gunning for you?

As well as ease of access on the bike...seen some dislikes with the clipping system not able to secure it snugly?? Clipping system is not the best, it comes with shoulder straps too so that you can use it like a real, man bag not to be confused with a real man, bag. This is for if you don't feel hipster enough. On bike access is certainly easier than a saddle bag. There are better options out there, I was actually keen a FARR, but there was some urgency getting it on time, and for once the Rapha one was one of the more cost effective ones. https://ridefarr.com/int/product-category/bags-storage/ capediver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
