So true!
And the bit about the 27.5" wheels rings true - because I didn't notice any difference.

fallen for some of those emails I constantly get from retailers?
Countless ones from wiggle suggesting I upgrade/change my wardrobe.
This today from, sadly, Ribble:
"As well as offering great Black Friday deals on everything for your bike we are not forgetting you, the rider. To ensure you stay safe and protected here are our great deals on helmets and shoes. Why not up-spec to the most advanced options for these important essentials from the leading brands."
Not sure how I upspec my shoes, or if anyone would notice.
Praps next year they will be offering to upspec my feet.

How lovely! And pretty much confirms what I thought, especially the wheel size madness.

I understand that a helmet would be good when driving (I was convinced by the statistics on these fora)
Where may I buy a suitable one?
