Thanks

bens cycles do white toshis, $£$ but super duper comfy. Cavendish had some a few months back too, may be able to get you some.

See that's just it, don't wanna be paying silly money for them. My present black leather doubles were £20 from Andy at Fixedgearlondon and they're spot on

the kashimax doubles in brixton cycles are 90 dorra, double ouch! i bought my toshi doubles in seoul in korea and they weren't actually much cheaper than 65 quid. even for njs racers this crap is expensive. i got them because i really wanted them badly, and felt ok about spunking the cash that particular day after receiving a hefty tax rebate. don't miss the money either, they're ace.

I'm going for 2* nylon singles and electrical tape – ghetto style.

Wish me luck!

Hopefully they/I wont break until the end of the month when I'll either buy some doubles or order a pair of these. They are a genius idea and someone on here whose handy with a needle should knock some out.

Thanks for the tip. I think i'll run tape on the right side, velcro on the other. A kind of experiment if you like. Will post results (or die).
