Cheers! Good to know but also oh no!
When in stock, they were cheaper from the official looking Clarks store on ebay - I got an extra pair for the same price. Might be worth bookmarking.
I haven't used mine yet, but one member managed to remove new brake pad squeal with his. There's an entire thread about it somewhere. He had a Wisper bike of some sort, but ironically it squealed and he found that very annoying.
No idea. But a member called @Andy-Mat, who doesn't appear to visit this forum anymore, used to swear by lining his tyres with the cut treaded part of old tyres, said he'd stopped getting punctures ever since. It's something I'd try if Marathon Plus weren't doing the job, but mine remain puncture free.
I tried these yesterday, trouble is the shoes end up too low, resulting in not enough contact with the rim - not designed for 20" wheels. So I used the thin end as a spacer while adjusting the brakes to perfection, or as near to perfection as the new wheel allowed (it's ever so slightly untrue, but the bike shop dude refused to true it, said "Not much wrong with that. Not worth paying for. You'll be fine". He's closing down next week and my new truing stand tackily adorned with fake gold...
More than a year after purchase, I've got around to installing those for the rear wheel, hoping they won't need as much adjustment when the shoe inserts need replacing. I'll watch out for the pins.
You're trying to polish a turd. Hopefully, you'll be able to make it very shiny with all that stuff.
The other shoe pair isn't shiny; use slightly different inserts (I think). At what temperature do turds become polishable? Must I await nuclear winter or the sun winking out?
Put some sunglasses on and stand back a bit from your bike. If you can't look at your bike directly without some discomfort, your turd is polished too much. If you can see it comfortably, you'll see it's still a turd, so polish it some more. It might look a bit better, but the smell will get you eventually.
