Very nice blokes at work who went to Capel have been talking about them ever since and they're opinions have been realy good considering geting some myself.

the problem with shiny shiny new things is that it comes with a shiny shiny big price but i had a look at them at capel and they are lite:thumbup1:

Unless the blokes I work with got it wrong they said 200 quid list price I think, not sure what make or even how many makes of carbon there are just relaying what I heard

Best spikes i've used... aluminium ones are just as good too

The aluminium Gecko's are a little more tolerant to taking a few steps on a hard surface with the spikes on. The Carbon frame is a little fragile. I've seen a pair that has suffered quite a bit of damage at the base. In my opinion, not worth the few ounces of saved weight and the higher price.

 

Possibly, though, I'm just envious

all i hope is i can get on better with them than me old pair off spikes
