• I'm not swapping a chain half way through, it's only 3000k. Tyres maybe, but I could just buy when necessary. I don't wear bibs and I'm not sure about changing them half way. Better to just have them melt into your festering skin I reckon. Tubes - shop, Snacks? I'll be eating all manner of shit so I'm not sure sending a cherry ripe would do much good other than psych boost.

  • I only say change them as you chamois might disintegrate. Also if you're using chamois cream, unless you can wash them properly, it will not clean out. Also they'll stretch so your balls aren't so well supported.

    You asked what you could send ahead. I didn't say you needed too for all of it. But those bits are about what's worthwhile.

    I'd happily send my favourite brand of tyres ahead. Plus a nice snack in the box for a mental boost.

  • Good point. I'm sure my new Assos shorts have got saggier - maybe that was just my PBP gooch though. I reckon the old Assos F1.Mille shorts are tougher. Wish I could get new ones of those. That's why I was toying with buying a Castelli pair and seeing what they are like.
