There was when I posted it.

You snooze, you lose.

Went on a binge today and found some good deals on brand new older (2017/2018?) gear -

Vision Metron 4D Di2 Carbon Handlebar 119.00 (Marked down from 348.00)

Vittoria Rubino Pro Clincher 25c Black Tyres 24.99/pair These are the Kevlar based ones that came out before Graphene was introduced. They also have the 23c available as well. Not bad for a pair of tires.

Steeljag

You should have grabbed me two in large !

I bought 5 pairs. 2 for me, 2 for a close friend that is hiding purchases from his wife, and 1 as a gift to a friend that insists upon wearing bibs that should have been retired 2 years ago.

Don't you just love the view when you're on that guy's wheel? That's the one bad thing about our club kit - it seems to get sheer a little faster than typical.

The guy I’m giving them to is literally a multimillionaire, and a generous person, but a total tightwad when it comes to cycling clothing.

Pactimo is having a sale on their Ascent Jerseys and Bibs. Good stuff.

Do you have a sizing comparison to other brands like rapha or castelli, especially for bibs?

Ogsarg

I don't have any Rapha kit but do have some Castelli bibs. I would say Pactimo and Castelli are sized about the same. I'm a medium or large depending on the brand/fit but always a large with Pactimo.

I can't find any reviews of this specific tire. I know it's an older version. It seems like a too good to be true deal. Is there any reason not to run these tires? I'm riding smooth surfaces and somewhat low mileage.

What is your height and weight if you don’t mind me asking. Trying to get an idea on the large Pactimo.

Wilmingtech

He's Married, eh?

They are great training/off season tires. They will hold up/last a little longer than the Corsas.
The only thing I remember about this tire was the Kevlar was not as grippy as the evo that came after it. But if you are not descending hills at 40mph leaned way over with your knee out to get around the corner you should be fine. Picking hairs at this point for a 12$ tire. Pretty sure it's the best 12$ tire you'll ever buy.

That is the tire I've been riding for many years. As said, it's an awesome training tire, and it's sometimes too good. On those forever off season endurance rides that you would give anything to have a reason to stop, even a flat, they just don't oblige. You'll be surprised at their grip, and their longevity.

These tires are very good: decent flat protection, really good milage, good grip and a nice ride. At the sale price you will not find a better bargain. I would have ordered more than two if I did not already have other tires in my possession.

Ogsarg

5-11, 160 . 34 waist. They do take returns at no charge if things don't fit but you have to pay shipping.

jadocs

Thanks I appreciate it.

SwtBadger

5-11, 180, 34 waist and a Pactimo large works well for me also for bibs. No idea on jersey.

BTW, no way can fit into a large Castelli, x-large bibs can squeeze into and need an XX-large Jersey.

redlude97

How are the legs? I'm a 32 waist but sprinter thighs

WhyFi

Reynolds is running 20% off of their carbon wheelsets right now, which makes for some decent deals ('specially when you factor in their service/warranty - they're currently rebuilding a wheel for me after popping a spoke last week).

If you are looking to purchase carbon wheels , this looks like a good deal

WhyFi

^^^ That's a great price on those wheels. It's weird that only one model, the R58 Disc, is mentioned as being tubeless. They don't have any rim profile pics, either, to see if the others have the tubeless center rim well.

cycledogg

Hate to ask, but does anyone know the weight of the R35 18/24 set? I have googled but I can not find it.

WhyFi

Reynold's does some non-series, vendor-specific wheels on occasion, such as these and the R3, R4, etc for Performance. As such, I don't think that you're going to find too much on them unless you find a post from a forum user someplace. That said, you should be able to ballpark it by splitting the weight between the ~30mm Attacks and ~40mm Assaults (claimed 1365g and 1515g, respectively) though the difference in spokes may make a difference, too (Attack/Assault used bladed spokes, the BD jobbers are round).

Wilmingtech

I dont think you are getting a high end hub with these rims. I'd assume low end generic hubs, round spokes, alloy nipples... etc. I'd guess something like 1600-1800g for the pair before tires, discs, tubes..

That being said, good luck finding a decent pair of carbon rims for 600$ anywhere.
