Great Helmet

Giro Prolight Cycling Helmet

Giro Prolight Cycling Helmet

Rating for this product: 4 August 26, 2011

I bought this helmet as soon as it came out, it worked very well for the fall and wither months. It fit well and breaths. In the spring moths in Tucson, AZ at 90 degress, I found its weakness, it could use more vents. This helmet is perfect for 90 percent of the days and only a little hot on extremely hot days

if you want to be light, this is the best light helmet, hands down, if you want it to breath, aeon.

Shimano SH-R315 Shoes

Shimano SH-R315 Shoes

Rating for this product: 5 August 26, 2011

When I first received these shoes I was a die hard SIDI user and was dreading using shimano again. I have dura ace level two series before this. Everything was wrong with them, everything, color fit, external buckles, everything.

Sponsoring a pro team definitely paid off for them. With lots of input and research they redesigned these shoes and made them great.

first off they are unbelievably stiff, the buckles are off set and give a nice snug fit even on my narrow feet, secondly they look 100 times better. The most important thing that impressed me is how long they last. I am a neo pro and had no idea how to treat me shoes... I walked in garvel, ran, and just absolutely worked my shoes... they should have been broken in a month (like my last pair)

not only did they last longer then my other shoes, it was the first time I ever wore one set of shoes in a season! They have been wrecked in, they have had cleats pulled off and I have walked miles home due to a damaged bike and they still work now. I think they can keep going another season.

buy these, you will not regret it

I ride, race, and train in this top. I really like it, I really like the tight fit and how it wicks moisture off my body to keep me cool. Even on the hottest days I wear this. I feel that craft rules this category and i have many of there tops also. This is the one competes with the best. Give it a go

SLR killer

Prologo Pro Nago Evo TS Full Saddle

Prologo Pro Nago Evo TS Full Saddle

Rating for this product: 5 June 27, 2011

Selle Italia makes the SLR that I have ridden for years. Really like the minimal padding. There is no reason to be squishing on a seat, it is there for a power base. The shell it self gives me the flex I need to be able to sit on it, other then that you are putting power into the pedals, not squishing. If you are looking at an SLR, This one is a much better price for around the same weight, plus it is red. I will ride it just for that color.
Rails have nice markings to control your set back. no creaking or wear issues yet.

My go to Base in the Mountains

Louis Garneau SF-2 Plastron Long Sleeve Top

Louis Garneau SF-2 Plastron Long Sleeve Top

Rating for this product: 5 June 27, 2011

I received one of these nice base layer this winter. I was traveling in Portland, Atlanta, Tucson, and Sun Valley. Surprisingly I used them all of these places. It works great under lots of layer in the snow in SV, or cold windchill on the rare mornings in Tucson. It is great to have in the arsenal. This is ideal for cold racing, when you want to stay just warm enough but it needs to breath. The front shield really keeps the chest and body warm but leaves the back open for sweat to evaporate.

leave the vest at home, zip your RealCyclist jersey up and just ride, no more fiddling with extra tops.

(did a guy from florida really review this before me??)

Portland Must

Gore Bike Wear ALP-X GT Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 1, 2011

I use these pants almost daily in Portland. I really really love them, They keep me dry but are breathable and keep my legs feeling fresh, no swamp leg feeling. The velcro closure are crucial so take care of them. If not they look like disco pants.

If you race cross they are a must. If you live in the NW or NE just as useful.

Don't buy any cheeper options

It is just a water bottle... That is easy to clean

Rating for this product: 4 May 31, 2011

It is so simple, Unscrew at both ends and put in the washer. I do not know why they did not do this in the first place.

my only problem is in cold conditions the plastic quite stiff to squeeze. It still works but you can not gorge water into your mouth wile it is snowing... rare for most but in the mountains like me, can be a problem

the nozzle is simple, and soft, no issues with it

best off all, It has sweet team logos!

2XU Compression Recovery Sock DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 5 May 31, 2011

Most of the compression gear, I truly rarely wear.

Sock are a different story. Before and after races I always wear them but most importantly traveling to the races I wear them.

I can feel a difference mostly when I forget them, Tighter more uncomfortable legs are the result.

Most likely you already know compression sock are essental gear but you are wondering about 2XU sock.

Go to there website and give it a look, they are clearly ahead of the curve with material and sizing.

Menthol for a better price

Rating for this product: 5 May 31, 2011

I have used Assos for most of my riding carrer and I really love it. On this team I was given this and did not expect much but the New euro style delivers the feel I look for in Butter. The tingle is noce and helps prevent Sores. It is cheaper then the Assos stuffand you get more.

Winning is nice

Rating for this product: 5 May 31, 2011

Look at the pro tour. They are all wearing tight aero cut jerseys, they are that good. I wear this at 90% of my races, less drag = less effort = better result. Bring it to the group ride and see what happens

I suggest buying your normal LG size

The black is the coolest one I have seen

Best Helmet for the price. The vents work well, the pads do not hold to much sweat and the adjustment is easy. I am constantly adjusting my helmet just for my preferred feel and it is easy to do with the large adjustment knob.

Wearing one for two year.

Saved my life.

great Price

Not 5 Stars because it is not the lightest or most breathable. it still works great

Works for me

BIKND Helium Air-Cushioned Bike Case

Rating for this product: 5 May 29, 2011

The main thing about this is BIKND Helium Air-Cushioned Bike Case is it is easy to use. There is not much to breaking it down and you do not have to wrap the frame (still should). Easy step by step directions are in French and English. I am not sure how long it takes me to put it together but it works well with my DeRosa TT bike and Road bike. My favorite part of this bike bag are the rollers. Taking it to the airport is the most important part and it is easy to transfer from car to Airport Security.

Much better then a box.

worth it.

Rating for this product: 5 February 15, 2011

This watch is great. I have been using a T1c for many years and decided I could use more functions, more memory and a better heart rate strap. This watch delivers in all categories. I Have had it for about three months. I wear it all day and use it for every work out. My favorite part if the watch is the black on black color option, then The easy to use. There are download options but i have yet to use them, I stroll through the date directly on the watch and write it off of there. Please ask a question if your looking to buy.

nose wheelie

Shimano Dura Ace BR-7900 Brake Calipers

Rating for this product: 5 December 11, 2010

Ok the title is kinda ridiculous... But as soon as I get on a road bike ( I am a Mountain Biker ) I like to do fun stuff. and when the nose wheelie is attempted, I am never able to pull it off because the calipers, break, pads, or clamp. never are strong enough to prevent flex, and flex ruins modulation. Modulation is needed for more then nosewhellies. mostly to stay in control in a group on descents. These are the breaks I trust. I can nose wheelies these. These breaks are amazing. so stiff, the pads work so well on most rim types and even better on Shimano wheels. if you like to have fun on a bike. This is your choice.

O there light too.

And easy to adjust

There frozen in the pic. Still worked great!

Shimano Dura Ace FC-7900 Crankset DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 5 December 11, 2010

These cranks are great! there stiff so freaking stiff. but the 7800 were also stiff. I think the best upgrade is the shifting ramps. the New hollow big ring is amazing. I can be climbing giving it all my power and shift up to the bigring with no hesitation. with the 7800 crank in a sprint I always had chain ring rub through the high power section and they have solved this. Less friction, more speed. I love these

Great training and racing wheel

Shimano Dura-Ace WH-7850-SL Scandium Wheelset - Tubeless

Rating for this product: 5 November 16, 2010

Best wheels I have owned. I have multiple pair but the ones I bought when they first came out are still perfect and the only ones I use. Three years with no truing! There light enough to race. There stiff enough to sprint. Living in Portland the tubeless is required. The puncture resistance is nice, but running 90 pounds in them is the ticket on a rainy day. I use them for everything. I will have a hard time ever giving them up when I wear through the break surface. Three years and still strong.

The ball bearing are my favorite. I really like the quality breaking surface. With the weight at the center and not the outside. Makes the light wheel feel even lighter

Kreitler 3.0in Complete Roller Set

Rating for this product: 5 November 16, 2010

This is the single best product for trainers. It is simple, reliable, and will last for along time. Great resistance. Makes a better pedal stroke, and you have to actually try. unlike stationary trainers
I have had the new version for a year. I have had no issues. The set I had before was almost 20 years old and worked great! I love these and suggest the for warming up for any cycling event. I also train hours on them in the winter when it is just to cold out.
