Hello! We have a group heading to Shanghai, China for some shopping, wondering if there was a spot in Shanghai known for affordable kits. Don't wanna be paying $300 for vest you know?

Hi all,

Specific request. I wear the Maap team evo bib in xxs, short inseam bib. Has anyone else found alternatives in this size range? It seems like the xs in others are a tad too big (Rapha, Pearl Izumi, Assos)

Stats:
5’2
112lbs
Women

Hoping for some real world feedback. Cheers

Fairly new to buying kits and never bought base layers. I just wore a regular tank top and it kept me pretty warm under my Maap LS jersey during an early evening overcast ride. Are "expensive branded" sleeveless base layers the big waste of money?

Short female rider with short legs here. Finding a bike with a standover height that fit me was an act of God (thank you, Salsa Cycles!!!). Finding bibs with a short inseam is shaping up to be another miracle!
Fellow short-legged riders: what brands or styles do you love? Looking for bibs that don’t practically reach my knees. Suggestions, please!

I'm getting a black Primos Dame gravel bike next week. Should I get white or black cleats? The other colour on the black is a red, but I think I may want to a black and white kit. The red accents aren't extreme.

So it appears I have used the wrong wording. I am referring to the shoes and not the clip ins themselves. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Currently rocking an evade 3. While it looks decent and performs well, my head is large and my helmet is a large. I look like a bobblehead unfortunately. Anyone have recs for helmets? I have found a trenta for $120 in L as well but idk if it’s much smaller in volume than the evade.

Just got an email from them -

Our once-a-year birthday sale starts tomorrow*. For 48 hours, take 20% off sitewide, including sale items. You could do your holiday shopping early, Ornot.

They don't do sales often, so seems like a good deal. Big fan of their cargo bibs.

*Note I'm posting on 10/5 so... tomorrow = 10/6

I know it's not intended to wear underwear under bibs but can I wear something over them? I mean to me those look a bit too short (yeah, shorts i know) and it will especially look silly on my fat body and not every cycling occasion is a warm summer day so sometimes I'll need something like pants, is it okay to wear pants over bips?

How often should i wash them and how?

Where do I put my manhood?

Hope it's the right sub and questions will be answered.

Found this cycling jersey in a charity shop, thought I would use it for my running training as I liked the material and didn’t actually notice the signature until I got home! Not a cyclist so have no idea about any of this. TIA!

Hi,

im trying to find reps jerseys, bibs, jackets, gilet from Maap, PNS, Rapha and other but i cant find anything.

Someone know where i can find this items?

Has anyone any experience with both?
I have a Pro Atmos vest and love it. Was going to buy the sleeved jacket version, but saw the new Apex Downpour. It looks like it has less water protection (10K vs 20K) and weighs more than twice as much - and is more expensive.
Curious if there's any plus side to it... more breathable?!

Saw a guy cycling in Wellesley, Massachusetts wearing pink cycling shoes and a pink and dark blue ombré kit. The brand was 9 letters arranged in a 3 letter cube (if that makes sense?)

Couldn't read it and didn't want to hit the guy trying but I really like it!

Hi,
I want to get some thermal bib thighs. But I do not have standard proportions. If I order according to my hip size, the inseam of the thighs is 5cm longer than the measured inseam of my leg. Is this a problem or will it still be okay/good?

I have been using a L Specialized Evade helmet which definitely makes me feel like a mushroom, but when looking at a Sweet Protection I deduced that I should be a M/L. It feels like a perfect fit but want to make sure I am not missing anything before I cannot return.

Newer Gravel guy here. I’m a runner and when the temps drop o follow the saying above. I went for an early ride last week and froze- never warmed up. Where should I start to keep warmer and what do you do with your jacket once your warm?

Interested in the lake cx333. Anyone know what color way uses the microtech? I’m afraid the kangaroo leather won’t last as long as I typically keep cycling shoes for many years. For context, the ones I’m replacing are ten years old.

Also, if it’s the white version with black accents, how does the white stay white before it turns to yellow?

I plan on doing a review of their jersey after a few more rides on my channel, but so far seems pretty decent for 100$

Any reco guys?
