The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread

700cX28 Conti Gator Hardshells turned up too today. Gonna fit them tomorrow. My Maxxis Detonators don't come out too well in reviews but I've actually enjoyed the way they roll. They're wearing thin so I'll put the Contis on and keep the exploders for emergency spares.
To line up the logos or to spread them out? In this instance, I favoured the latter:

P.S. Chariot does a "baby sling" which looks interesting. Everyone is over-protective of their babies, and we were the same but I'm quite impressed with this. In a softly sprung Chariot, it might be OK. 11 weeks sounds a bit too young though.
We had our second in a Chariot with a sling from 12 weeks. Just set the suspension to the softest and lower the tyre pressure. If you are really worried, go slower and chuck some schwalbe big apples on.okgo said:
I'm having knee issues, do you think red cleats might be a good idea? Do you lose anything by having more float? What's the point of having none at all?
less float is theoretically more efficient because you're not wasting energy 'skating' on the pedal. It can be bad for your knees though, and people with knee problems are always advised to go for as much float as possible to prevent torsional stress on the knee ligaments.So yeah, reds would be highly recommended
