racman Posted October 17, 2007 Share I have noticed a number of people selling used cycling shoes on the Hub over the last few months. I can understand new shoes that were the wrong size etc but WHO BUYS USED SHOES ??? That's like selling a pair of used cycling shorts man !!! Even though they may have been washed you just know that there have been "skid marks" at least once Used Cycling shoes = athletes foot, exotic strains of fungis, popped blister secretions, dry heel flakes, etc. etc all emptied out and covered with a light dressing of Johnson's Baby powder etc. (Damn I feel hungry now) I can't understand this, or is it just me ???racman2007-10-17 04:45:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 17, 2007 Share dont agree. a guy buy maybe the first time a pair of clip on pedals , lets say r700, but he dont have another R500 for shoes SO, HE LOOK FOR A GOOD PAIR, WASH ITAND WEAR IT WITH SOCKS. Not everyone can buy new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantani Posted October 17, 2007 Share Yeah man!!!

racman Posted October 17, 2007 Share but socks don't stop the spread of bacteria. I have the same concerns about a used helmet ? Would rather buy a slightly cheaper pair of shoes, helmet etc than have used. I have often bought used items for bikes but am a bit squeamish about shoes, helmets, socks, and cycling shorts !!!

Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 17, 2007 Share So, what you guys is saying that you do not wear stuff that was not baught new by you? Lets take this, you go to a friends party, later the night its getting cold but you or the wife did not have anything warm, your buddy is offering you a warm thing to wear. You say, no I dont wear second hand cloths. Come on, ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted October 17, 2007 Share or, you went away for a mtb race, somehow you broke or tore the one shoe. Another mrtbiker got a spare pair of shoes and offer it to use. you say no, i rather go home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racman Posted October 17, 2007 Share No man, I am talking specifically about shoes, cycling shorts, underwear (although I suspect there are a few men on the Hub that might wear womans underwear in private on special occasions ) Jackets etc are ok with me. This is not a judgement on anyone, I just would battle with it. racman2007-10-17 05:14:52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
