They're all massive Wiggo fans and just want to help riders grab a few KOMs

Perfect for the BeeMC

Both colours of Body Paint are now up to £160 at PBK and I see CRC have a couple at the same price.

With little used, second-hand ones £100 or so, it's not so appealing.

If £160 is the new market norm, someone's bound to break ranks before long.

£130 from Tweeks Cycles for a Body Paint 3.0. I was tempted, but I still haven't worn my Body Paint 2.0 in anger.

Good find, all sizes too: fingers crossed my tax rebate comes through before they all go!

Mine came yesterday. :)

No more pies for you then.

No. Wait. My tax rebate. I'm a full stone away from an acceptable skinsuit weight.

I just got told the expected delivery date for a white and black 3.0 skinsuit was 30/09/2015.

Tweeks or PBK?

Tweeks, they didn't have the yellow one either so I cancelled the order

I got wiggle to price match - should be here by next week!

I think others will thank me too, at least the castelli is only see through on the back/top half unlike my current skinsuit which my wife assures me its possible to identify a scar I have on my left cheek its so see through.... :/

Pretty cool if anyone a Enve fan boy/girl, especially as there will be a 2:2 prototype wheelset coming soon.

If I put some 25c tyres on my standard jet clinchers (23mm wide) instead 0f my 23c's, will the aero gods cast an eternal parachute on them?

On the front - YES - go 22mm.
On the back - probably not.

How deep are the rims? I wouldn't worry about tyre aeros too much if it's on a road bike.

They are alu rims with carbon fairing bringing them t0 60mm. Hed says their clincher rims are all designed with 23mm wide tyres which is why I ask. I want to stick a 25 on the back

Crr gains will outweigh aero losses, until you're getting on for 30mph.

Someone else said.

#youdothemath

30mph all day. But yes, agreed. Will give it a try

Suspect it would be lower than that, but gains are gonna be marginal when you've got droopy handlebars so might as well get comfort and handling improvements.

It depends.

Generally for aero you want the fitted tyre width to be less than the rim width. For comfort, handling, rolling resistance, tyre choice this might not be best.

On the rear, it's far less of an issue. Do it.

some test data for zipp 303 and 404 with 23 vs 25 tires:
