I liked the look of these, I find that TCX boots are very comfy and fit my feet well.

I use the S Speed Goretex ones. I'm on my second pair. Very comfortable, high levels of protection and waterproof.

Elbow and wrist supports.. very high quality given the low relative price to competitors.

Szuch Pro EU from amazon if anyone needs them

I've conquered that demon thankfully!

This is for a new injury, for some reason my elbow has been killing since doing deadlift and hammer curls last week. Even the staple of my workouts is not do-able currently (pull ups).

I doubt this will last long but the elbow support is enabling me to continue my workouts

New helmet.

Me and the recent HJC aren't getting on.

I've gone back to a Nolan N86 which the HJC replaced. I've still got the spare visors and pinlocks from the old one I had. £100 brand new so no complaints from me.

The sun visor catch is in the centre of the helmet so it's a fiddle to use on the move. Plus it mists up, even with a pinlock in. I've changed the pinlock but the front vents don't work very well. Plus it's not that quiet.

I had a Nolan N86 before so I've got loads of spare visors and pinlocks and I like the position of the sun visor catch. There weren't any in my size when I was replacing it so I went with the HJC. It's not a bad helmet, I'm keeping it, but for every day use the minor issues have become irritating and distracting.

Thats fair enough safety is no 1 and if its distracting you then thats a real issue. Keep it for summer blats or something or as a spare. I suppose you gotta try things to realise whats best and this one didnt work for you for how you use it. Surprising about Pinlock misting up. Wouldnt expect that to happen

So I bought my gf a DSLR for her birthday and received an email last night along the lines of, "we lost it. we're idiots. we're going to send another. if the first one arrives do not accept delivery."

Absolute idiots. It's her birthday in 3 days, I need it before hand to wrap and stuff. So bloody annoying

Collecting the camera tonight as we missed delivery yesterday.

I realised at 9pm last night that the camera doesn't come with an SD card and that I should probably get a tripod of some sort so purchased a Joby Gorillapod and 64gb SD card due for delivery today :)

New lid time, 1st impressions are good, it's light, no heavier than my shoei, it's a very very tight fit but not uncomfortable, nice big field of Vision, 5 star sharp rated, d ring fastening and got it for a bit of a steal.

It is bloody bright though haha
