brother, you are official part of Team Power Ranger.

Team members so far:

Spider
Dock

I did the calculations on the new Sidi Vortice - they went from 3 per shoe adjustments (Vertigo Corsa) to something like 8 or 9 each shoe! and now the first person that buys them changes them for that exact reason.

Seriously Sidi, use me as a test pilot!

I think they are the ones I've/we've seen over at Frasers.
Might see if they have them on sale on the Official Opening day.
At least I'm pretty sure they are the ones I've seen, I can't find a photo of the other side which will help me confirm.

Scratch that they are not the ones I've seen.

I can drop my battery subscription to duracell.

Haven't laid out any $$$ yet just been looking at them.
But as I said I now don't think they are the ones I've seen.

AA's on hold for now.

HOW TO LOWER A BIKE FOR $500 USING ONLY A 10MM SPANNER.

So my old boots are a bit worn.  My bike is a little tall.  Bike shops want to sell me a new bike that is lower. 

My solution: 


I did have to learn how to adjust the gear lever - buy more tools.

And now have to break in a new pair of boots - ouch.

Imported them myself for $100 cheaper than the so-called Oz agent who didn't  really want to put an order in for me anyway.

And learning how to post this damn photo took longer than all of the above  cheeky bang head

?Diadoras?  Daytonas.  Are they the same thing?

Not cheap.  Thought about for long time but my current boots (BMW) in urgent need of replacement after 3 years hard work. Have read of these boots lasting people 10 years and they are repairable. And I'm worth it anyway.

I can now flatfoot on my bike (on level ground  cheeky anyway)
