Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

BB - cheers. More to look at later (although I note medium are out of stock to mid-march, would small fit me? I wear small adidas running shorts).

Greg - that's proper value that.

Slow - Used it for what? Is it like turtle wax?

Remember, ladies, race belts are not just good for those of us with bits. They also sit nicely over the tummy. No way you would have got me in that tri suit otherwise!

Hendo, the padding in bike shorts is called Chamois because it used be ackshually made from chamois leather.

After you washed the shorts, youhad to rub chamois cream into it to soften it again, otherwise it was like sandpaper. And it all cracked and went manky. And if you didn't wash them, it grew mushrooms.

I was quite suprised to see that it still exists given that the padding is now all synthetic - and wondered if anyone stull used it, and whether there was any benefit to be had.

And we're back to the DZ Nuts conversation of a few weeks ago.

It's tough being a non-Mormon in SLC, allegedly.
