    ALDI - Winter Cycling Deals

    I may be a bit of a fraud (no electric bike and no SEAT Altea anymore) but you still need to know if great deals are to be had. I can vouch for the SPD shoes, winter trousers and socks, still using mine a year later, great VFM, overshoes are poor, cap is ok. Think I'll get another pair of...

    Replacement Cassette, Bars and Saddle

    The Mistral should be back on the road in the next few days after some battery issues and having spent the last couple of weeks commuting on the MTB I think the Mistral needs some changes. I want to change the rear cassette for greater speed on the flat and easier/faster hill climbing. The...
