Cheers! I live on the canal tow path so that gets used a lot, the knobbly's are probably not needed but I'll have a go at wearing them out before replacing them. So far so good, first time using clip in pedals which was exciting

Boardman sell them with their TT bikes. The British track cycling team use them alot. Quite a few of our club riders hae got them now, women like them too.
I got mine 3/4 years ago. My rides upto an hour were ok with a soft comfy 'normal saddle'. After 1 hour it became uncomfortable. I checked around and found the Adamo saddles(they have many types depending on use) I went with the road 2 version as most of my riding was road based then. It took me about 300 miles to become settled riding with my weight on my sit bones and not my block and tackle. I did this in 20-30 miles rides. After that i could ride 100 miles and not suffer at all with saddles issues. I put one on my MTB bike and again find it very comfy even though I am more sat upright. Not the cheapest saddle but worth it if you become sore after a short period of riding say 1-2hours

I paid about £70 for this one, but you can't put a price on being able to feel your *****. Fingers crossed the rain holds off today and I can get a few miles on it.
I'm still very wary of the SPD's need to fall over then it's done.

First time it happened to me, single lane come around a corner and there's a flock of sheep in the road being hearded to next field. Moved to a passing place, lucky I thought then hit a puddle and stopped dead in the mud next thing sheep looking down at me
