Crazy Socks

[splat]

Hi all.

 

Just a thought but is the price of bike socks just crazy. I mean R140 for one pair of socks. when i know it dose not cost more than R40 for one pair. just saying

 

Hang on. 

Are you saying that R140 for a pair of socks is expensive?

Or that you think a R140 for a pair of socks that cost R40 to make is excessive?

 

And what exactly to people mean when they end a statement with 'just saying' ?

So I am the only one here that own a pair (or a couple) of MBWear socks?  

 

It's the price of bar tape.

Or half a decent water bottle cage.

R140 - R47 = mortgage paid off a little sooner.

Not in one go but the mental ability to drop R140 into socks, in my opinion, equals a loose wallet.

 

 

Popcorn time...

I suddenly feel like I could be judged for riding with my King Price socks I got for free with a purchase at CL last weekend...

Bought a pair of socks for R29-00 at Mr P yesterday, bright and colourful with dots.

Perfectly fine for me, I mean it is just socks afterall..........

I've got 3 pairs of Versus socks, one pair of slightly cheaper CAM socks, and one pair of slightly cheaper Wattz Cycling socks.

 

The way I see it, if the socks you wear are comfortable, and if they look lekker with your kit and your bike, then I don't see a problem.

for my opinion on this issue, I will do the time honoured tradition of allowing the GENERAL to dictate for me.

Sounds like you need some time in a safe space.

Well they probably could spend the time working, then maybe R140 wouldnt be such a calamity. Just thinking out loud here.
