    If they don’t keep them, then an option given the age is to find the parts and then use a shop or mechanic who is happy to fit for labour.
    Or try another shop!

    I love the way there is a shopping basket, but the front muguard is too short, thereby allowing the goods to get soaked.

    I like the Endura MTB overshoes.

    I commute in mountain bike shoes and every other type of overshoe I used just wore out at the toe.

    The Endura has an extra rubber toe section that works really well.

    If I could improve it, I’d go for a model that has a moulded sole at the rear, but it turns out that Endura have thought of this!

    The Endura MT500 Plus looks like th eperfect overshoe.

    Tredz have them in for £25 at the moment:

    Thye are fine, as long as you don’t have big feet, then it’s hard to get them on. I’m not sure,  given there is a cut out for clipless and they are mtb, what shoes they used to produce the shape.

    Also you don’t have to enter a specific address, you can select a point on the map (drop a pin) and get directions from ‘my location’ or another pin if you want.

    I’d definitely pay for an ad-free version of the site. Would save me money in the long run because I wouldn’t think “oooh, bargain” and end up buying stuff I don’t need 🙂

    I think if you did it so you kept the affiliate links in reviews/best-ofs but got rid of the sidebars it would work. If I’ve read a positive review I’m going to want to check current pricing.


    I’d pay too. I did send an email at the beginning of the week enquirying whether there is a way to make a voluntary payment.

    I read exactly the same complaint on another forum.
    Perhaps the fault is with the third party ad provider.

    Depends on the road, traffic, volumes, pedestrians and other hazards.
    No way do I want someone on my wheel on the way to work. I may have to brake suddenly, then what will the rider behind do?
    Had a go at someone before for doing this with out even asking. They still did it later in the month and never attempted to take a turn.

    The check out takes you to PayPal, so a degree of protection.

    A lot of bollocks about day time accidents in the site.
