You shouldn't have to pay any import duty if you keep the price below?? I can't remember see customs and excise site. The amount is in £ which you have to convert to dollars.

I use these instead - they are great - you can attach stuff to your forks with them and they won't budge. I always carry a few as they invariably come in handy for something. If nothing else you can use them for something like the intended purpose and loop them through the hooks on the corners of a tarp and fix it onto something or other, ie to cover your bike or attach the tarp to your tent to make a shelter to cook under etc.

Certain brands do a great job of making me feel poor.

They look lovely, but hardly a "Bargain" tho, are they?

[Taylor]

There wasn't a thread for limited edition bar harnesses that look nice but are still regular price.
I looked but could find one.

I wasn't having a dig, and I love Beth's Kit..
Just don't see it as a bargain.

Sorry.

I don't get these. They're made by a Danish company, Danes are often tall, and they don't offer an XL size for those with large adult feet

(Well I haven't ever seen an XL)

Evans cycles have started their black friday deals on exsposure lights.

Good point though. There's a Bargain thread and a Postman thread. Maybe there should be a "Look what I've just found" thread?

My fault, I was just a bit grumpy as I was 150k into a 180k ride when I replied to you.
I've had a lot of type 2 fun and my toes were painfully cold.
Finished now, showered and laid on the sofa, things are better now.

Didn't realise I needed a pair of those until now.

Everyone needs a pair of cosy 'piss slippers' to protect them from those cold bothy floors Andy

Unfortunately these Nordisk slippers won't protect you from cold bothy floors.
Whilst the down uppers are great, the sole is very poor with the foam insulation compressing away to nothing very quickly and the silicon gripper marks on the outsole wearing away after a few days wear around the house.

[Trail-rat]

What are your floors made of.

My Nordisk's are now 2 years old and are starting to wear on the bottom.but stopped perfectly servicable.

They are brilliant in the camper van for keeping warm :)

Size large fits a size 14 ..... My mate had the same grumble about sizing till he tried on my large....then bought some.

I'm afraid I have an answer for this.

In the same way that Italian cycle shorts go from M to XXL (there are no small Italian men in the trouser dept, no, apparently it's true) and these mediums are pretty bloody small, and in the same way that American cycle shorts go from XXS through to XXL and these smalls you could happily bivi in, the Dames are freaks in the height department. Normal to them is freaking big. A Danish XL would be bigger than anyone on the planet would ever need, as far as they're concerned most other people are short. Hence there being no Danish XL size.

Other crap theories are available.

Carpet, nothing special.
The silicon gripper polar bears wore off the contact points (heel and ball of foot) very quickly.

I take size 12 and the largest size of these Nordisk Mos is big enough but not much room left for bigger feet or extra thick socks.

[Richard G]

I'm an EU 44 generally... I guess that's a large for me, though I hope they're not too loose.
