Re: Shoes
Shimano and Northwave are generous in size in the toe box. Sidi also do a wide 'Mega' version.
Best advice is to duck down to your LBS and try some on as this is completely personal choice.

Re: Prescription cycling sunglasses recommendations?
Photochromatic lenses require direct sunlight to work. So cars and visors on your helmet may stop them working partially or completely.

Re: Sunday ride to the Otford pie shop
Thanks all for a great ride. I will be cautious to not miss the assumption that we indeed would ride via RNP.
And thanks to all with assisting me with my tyre blowout. I've added some new MacGuyver skills to my repertoire.
Cheers,
Noel

This is a little off topic. I have a joining link and take the chain off to clean it. Does it matter whether or not it goes back on the in the same direction?

Thinking of switching out a cassette for one more favourable for climbing. What is the rule re: chains? Do I need a chain for each cassette or can I switch cassettes and keep the same chain? I regularly check the stretch. Is this enough to ensure I don't trash two cassettes? Advice is appreciated. U...

Re: Prescription cycling sunglasses recommendations?
FYI - my Rudy's are full prescription ImpactX lenses. No clip ons required. You get the benefit of corrected peripheral vision over inserts. Also less to clean and fog under testing conditions. That is why they cost $1k. The lenses come from overseas and are ground and fitted to you.

I've had a set of Rudy Project for around three years. I've had to replace the frames at year 2 as the frames corroded with my sweat but were still functional. The lenses are photochromatic so I can use them all year around. Cost was around $1k so not cheap but they get the use and if you are with p...

I'd still sprint. It's my fave bit of the ride. Might be a good idea to move the official sprint point back though as suggested. Agree there is a risk anywhere on the ride.
