Just got some and when I put them over my shimano M182 it looks like the two big alloy studs on the front of the shoes are going to rip through the overshoes at the first sight of any walking over rocky ground
Would it be better for me to make two nice neat holes b4 I ride for the first time or just see what happens
I only want warm feet 🙂
My 182s did the same thing, no problem though the holes appear to be quite neat.
Couldn't you take the studs off, or are they vital for the routes you're doing? I've gone through 2 pairs of overshoes via (what I thought of as) quite light use - dunno how tough the M500's are...
go easy on your zips chap i allways end up pulling them off.
Yeah I ended up pulling the zip off the last pair I had about 10 mins before one of the Thetford Winter Series races was due to start, it was minus 3 and there were icy puddles everywhere. Ended up taping it up with insulating tape.
Send back to Wiggle and they replaced, no questions.
Now when I put them on, I close the velcro bit at the top first and then try to keep the material as close as possible while pulling the zip together.
Oh, and your studs will go through the front of the overhsoes pretty quickly if you end up walking in them a lot.
Yep the studs go through the soles if you walk a lot, i ended up taking mine studs out. Now all i need to do is fix the hole on one side where i came off and the will be toasty warm again.
generally they rip up quite easy and will only last one winter. but they keeps your feets warm.
the velcro comes off as its just stuck on with some non existent tape !!
agree with the warmth, they are good but usual endura woes, good ideas but finish, ie zips, buckles, tags, labelling all falls off very quickly
i've stopped buying because of this
Gore Bike Wear is much nicer but ££££
I will be more than happy if they last this winter, £20 for warm feet every year is ok with me...the soles of the overshoes do have a grippy rubber sole but i do know the studs are going to go through firt ride out as soon as i have to walk up some rocks...i am thinking of keepin the studs on as they may help a bit in all the mud
