Just a heads up for anyone who might be interested, Probikekit is doing
the 10%off everything thing again.

Travis

Which is great news if you are a stickman, or wear XXXXXXXXXXXXXL !!!
Everytime I look I there is no stock of normal sizes. Ah well.... They used
to send out weekly specials too, haven't seen them for a while.

Yeah, the amount of out of stock stuff is very annoying. Want to take
advantage of the 10% off to get a new groupset? Sure, as long as you
don't need bottom brackets in English thread... etc.

Has anyone else had any quality issues with their clothing? I'm
overall quite happy with my Prorace bib tights, keep me nice and warm
when I'm riding home at 11pm in winter, but the threads around the seat
and crotch are already starting to roughen up and my wife has
re-stitched seams coming apart a few times now...

They're great for getting a whole outfit cheaply but I think I'll be
replacing items with more expensive stuff eventually.

They are 'thin' on the ground with stickman kit... not many things in size 2 🙁

Side note.. I was at a LBS promo tonight.. in short: RRP in AU is a joke. $29 for ONE Miche latex tube, and I was quoted $399 for a Giro Atmos helmet.. eek!

I'm waiting for probikekit to have a 95% off Liberty Seguros kit. And then a
very expensive special limited edition Astana Wurth kit - only 9 ever made!
(Wurth has pulled the plug as well now)

wondering if The Specials "Rudi" is on Jan's iPod this week:
"Rudi... a message to you Rudi
Stop your foolin' around..ah ahhh ummm
Better think of the future..ah ahhh ummm
Or we'll wind up in jail, Rudi"

Der Kaisers probably trying to lift his mood by listening to Rammstein or Laibach.

Size 2??? Geez, and I thought I was a stick figure in size 3!

No wait, wrong song.

Cheapskates! They must expect the riders to wash their kit everyday ...

Nah, he's been listening to the Clash's "Rudie Can't Fail" ...

"I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can't live in service
like the doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail
I went to the market to realise my soul
'cause what I need I just don't have
first they curse, then they press me till I hurt
we say Rudie can't fail"

I've never found pbk too good for clothing. Always XXXXXL or small..
and prices not that great. Nevber trusted their in-house brand enough
to put the dough on it.

They're great for all the hardware, of course.

Keep an eye on leknicks (sp?) in Melb.. and other local places. Even
though they're 'usually' expensive, they have the odd sale item.

The Prorace ones? If so, yes, I think they're great. I break and lose so many glasses frames I long-ago decided not to spend any more money than I needed on sunnies.

For the record I've never broken or lost these ones... One pair did lose the little rubber bit that goes on the end of the long bit that sticks over the ears. That was after about 2 years. The lenses seem pretty strong, and easy to change, and light enough to carry the whole range if going out for the day and not sure of what the weather might do (on the recent end-to-end I changed lenses three times one day).

cheers,
Ali

I second that. Cheap and useful. My only complaint is one of the frame
arms on my sunnies is now very loose after I dropped it. A tightening
of the screw should fix it.

The Kuota's from PBK are excellent

I also bought a pair of the sunnies and they have survived 6 months of my usage, which is saying a lot!
