I guess I'm stuck in my old cycling ways and will stick to toe clips
and straps. I needed a new pair of Christophe clips and duly bought
them at the LBS. On fitting them I thought hang on these just don't
seem the same as the one's I have on my old hack bike - sure enough on
examination the clips were made of much thinner metal. *********** how
mean can you get, the old ones must only weigh grammes but you've got
to make them of thinner gauge metal to save a few cents (made in
France).
I call this the Mars Bar Syndrome - at 62 I can remember when the
'giant' Mars bar was the standard bar, instead of which we now get the
ever decreasing bar where eventually the packaging will be heavier
than the contents!
