One smaller garage didn't spot this till they had fitted and balanced the rear Tyres onto the front wheels, and had to start again. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/car-question-winter-tyres#post-3287701 Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:56:14 +0000 leffeboy 3287701@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>That's kind of what I thought and I can't see any funny wear.

I'm not sure there is a point but I do see that some garages mark the tyres before they take them off. The tyres aren't directional in any way that I can see </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116821 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 12:42:01 +0000 69er 2116821@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>ton - Member<br /> warning............only buy if you have dwarf size xl hands. </blockquote></p> <p>Wish i'd known that! <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=":wink:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>Chiba XXL = L, be warned! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116542 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:27:04 +0000 Jerome 2116542@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><em>Well, I'm normally a size large in gloves, so I'm hoping that buying one size up will be sufficient? </em></p> <p>Plus 1.. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116511 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:21:42 +0000 cynic-al 2116511@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>chiba gloves are really good imo </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116489 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:16:55 +0000 kevin1911 2116489@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Well, I'm normally a size large in gloves, so I'm hoping that buying one size up will be sufficient? </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116434 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:02:26 +0000 ton 2116434@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>warning............only buy if you have dwarf size xl hands. <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116380 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:51:39 +0000 kevin1911 2116380@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>thank you kindly sir </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/psa-bargain-chiba-winter-gloves#post-2116079 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 09:05:41 +0000 boxelder 2116079@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Chiba-Drystar-2-Waterproof-Gloves-BLK-size-XL-RRP-30-/280416489201?pt=UK_Cycling_Clothing&amp;hash=item414a200ef1">Merry Christams</a> </p>
