Bought some Velotoze having seen the forecast in Belgium for this saturday, 175 miles in 7 deg and rain doesn't sound ideal to me!

If you start putting them on now, you'll be just about done by the weekend

getting them on is easy unless you have typical roadie wasted away arms...oh wait..

Not a problem I have. Still look like an extra from 'over the top'

Took me only a minute to get on earlier.

Front light for the Brompton.

Really like that Must go and google that.

I currently use Cateye lights. They still allow the fold, but the on/off button get's easily tapped by people standing next to the bike on the train and most days I find the light turned on when I pick it up to get off the train.

Don't worry about getting them off - they'll have probably disintegrated by the time you're done.
Mine lasted all of one ride before holes started appearing.

I've had my eye on those. What forks are you going to be using?

[Magic919]

They supply it with forks and we'll be using those.

I'm after some new bibs, tried on some Chapeau ones yesterday but not quite right.

Saw those Assos then saw they only have S or XXXL left!

New bits for a slow build of an old Orange Zero.
