Megasack Giveaway Day 2: Shimano GF800 Gore Tex Shoes

by 23

It’s the second day of our Megasack giveaway. Are you excited? You should be! Going in the sack today, we have…

Shimano GF800 Gore Tex shoes

Goretex trail shoes for flat pedal riders! Or, shoes with a waterproof sock built in? Or boots? These have a stretchy waterproof ankle built into them, with BOA fastener, and waterproof lace cover – all of which should keep your tootsies toasty on splashy days.

The BOA has a little bash guard built around it, for a little extra protection from rock strikes – although of course BOA fasteners are fully rebuildable should you need to give yours a little TLC. There’s a decent amount of protection around the toe box for your toes too, and the last is designed to give you the room needed for walking and pushing as well as pedalling.

The Ultread sole is designed to be sticky even at low temperatures, and tucked away inside it is a Torbal 2.0 torsional plate, which keeps the sole stiff enough for pedalling, but leaves enough flex at the edges to make sure you have good grip and pedal feel. There’s also an EVA sole in there to helps prevent fatigue and absorb impacts.

Want these? Of course you do! So watch this video:

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.

    I love how I’m the only mountain biker and STW member in our household, but somehow the Megasack ditty and Darth Vader-esque voiceover are already inextricably associated with our Christmas.  It’s often Mrs CS who reminds me to do my Megasack entry for the day. I’m even not working this Christmas, for the first time in living memory – I’m already a winner! 🤣

    Before it sinks in and my brain melts into a puddle, I’ll ask the question I came here to ask:

    How do we answer questions like this?  Is there an expected format? Is it read by human? AI?
    eg say that shoe weighs 950g, we could answer:
    950
    950g
    950 g
    950 grams
    950 grammes
    0.95kg
    etc…

    They won’t let you win two days on the trot, will they?

    Would have thought number + g would be fine.

    I’m sole Judge Judy and executioner so you could, at a stretch say there’s a human intelligence behind it 🙂

    The way it works is I use random.org to pick a number from the list of entries. I then check that entry has the right answer. If they don’t I pick again.

    How do we answer questions like this?

    You could really **** with marks head by expressing the correct weight in ounces, or dependant on geographical location the weight can vary – was the shoe measured at sea level?, how far from the equator was the shoe measured?. We all know Hebdon bridge is a “special” place – does it have its own specific gravitational field?.

    I googled Friday’s answer to make sure I was spelling it right. But good to know.

    Weird. I didn’t know there was one. But the internet told me there was a vote at Council in 2021 on the matter.
