Title: Re: Must Have Additions To My Little Dubber den
Post by: Bob_Acid on September 22, 2012, 12:49 AM: yeah, sorry to sound snobby. I just don't dig SX, they're like mini pedals as far as i'm concerned.

i was lucky in that i had a mate who worked at a shimano warehouse in Erith in the early 80's that robbed them blind, so it was DX all the way for us lot.

two quid a pair

Rad rides though Chris, don't get me wrong bro.
