First pair of bib shorts.....couldn't pass them for $20.

Merino wool is the bomb. I now own "enough" merino wool cycling clothing - but wait 'til next winter!

I was rummaging through my 40-50 jerseys a few weeks ago, and realised that I don't have much in the way of long-sleeved jerseys ... and yet, I wear the few I have the most of all my jerseys ... autumn, winter, and spring.

So I figured it was time to increase the collection, and I also like merino.

My new acquisition is this one:

Nothing too exciting.. Bottom bracket tool and new Multi tool for the saddle bag.

Where'd you find a pair that cheap?

I'd like to hear your impressions, even though I don't have much use for cold weather jerseys in the tropics. That thumb hole puts fabric at the webbing area between thumb and index, and it seems like that bit will wear out quickly even with gloves, and I'd rather replace gloves regularly than jerseys.

One of my other long sleeved jerseys has thumb holes, and I simply don't use them. They don't get in the way and I forget that they are there most of the time. I suspect it will be the same situation with this jersey. In fact, I tried it on last night and didn't realise it had thumb holes until I read the info on the picture I posted today. I'll have to have a better look at it tonight!

I was more fascinated with the ventilation. I'll be interested to see how well that works.

Clearance rack at PB.

Does this count ? Purchased & installed a DERO repair station for my convenience store in Richmond, TX. There are alot of cyclists that ride in this area due to the nice country roads. This will allow them to use free tools & equipment including an airpump. Also, installed benches for a rest area.

It counts. Very nice gesture. A couple of years ago, somebody put a couple of those along the 40-mile MUP along the river. I think it was part of an Eagle Scout project.

Nice looking jersey. I may have to check out to see if they make a men's version.

FWIW - I like (and use) the thumb holes in my merino wool base layer. I don't notice them, and haven't had a problem with them wearing out - but I've only had the base layers for about 2 seasons now (commuting 2 to 3 times per week plus at least one weekend ride per week in the winter), and I rotate them.

Bought some 3t Aeronova bars

Just bought these https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPX52...ncher-wheelset.

Think I've made a mistake, probably should have ordered these instead https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPPXC4...arbon-wheelset

Can be a little windy where I live, wondering if that extra 7mm will make a big difference.

Valsgarde

Are those the carbon? Do you have a link?

[QUOTE=Diablito;17748585]Bought some 3t Aeronova bars

I was looking into buying a carbon set of these last week. How are you finding them? Where did you purchase?

SpeshulEd 

You should be fine, the downside of the the 52s is the machined sidewall, they weigh 400g more than the others...the upside, better stopping power.

Just search 3t aeronova, they're everywhere...Art's has them, Competitive Cyclist has them, Chain Reaction Cycles has them, Wiggle has them. They've been out for awhile now, they're pretty easy to find.

Bell Super2R MIPS

Got a good deal at the LBS. Tried it on, much better fit than any of the other helmets I've tried. Visor and bar are removable for road riding. Ventalation looked surprisingly good considering the helmet style.

I bought a pair of specialized RBX sport shorts, 40$ plus tax 20% off. 30 miles test ride and they feel great, and are more aero than my baggy mtb bike shorts.

Miscellaneous parts and tools...

Took advantage of the USD-Euro exchange rate and picked this up:





Also found these at westernbikeworks at half off. 2 pairs @ 89.99 each. Worn just about every brand and these are my favorites, especially for 100+ mile rides.

How do you like the Magellan? I'm going back and forth between that an a Garmin Edge.

Recently I bought 27.5erMTB carbon rims for XC from Boostbicycle, weight about 400g.

Can't wait to get them then ask my friend to build into wheels XD.

Overall, it's "okay". I haven't genuinely ridden the Edge 810 or 1000 which I would say are the most direct competitors but I've toyed with them and in terms of UI and overall features they're really the same in essence.

I will say that the touchpad has this stupid feature where you need to hold an option down for it to select but sometimes device thinks you want a quick single click so I find myself stabbing the damn thing over and over for it to select an option.

No problems with connectivity among any of my Ant+ devices.

Still having trouble syncing it to Strava and sometimes my computer doesn't like it either and won't recognize it.

Had about 25% battery life after a 4 hour ride, then again this was with like a 1 minute+ backlight so I was basically using it as a heads up display.

So overall.... okay. Maybe you can give a better insight since you've owned and actively used both on the road. So please do and let me know which Edge it is you're comparing it to.
