Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Beer hats put beer in the sun. Only an idiot would accept that. They seem popular in the US.

Irrelevant if you drink beer fast enough

I don't know how hard you can suck but in my experience through a straw is never fast enough.

both of my exchanges have been right after some kind of sale and it has taken 1-2 weeks for rapha to send my new item after receiving old

tl;dr: 2 weeks

I sent an exchange recently and was about 2 weeks from when I posted it until I received it back. Unless you bought with a discount would be quicker to re-order and just send the other back

So 2 weeks then. Arse

I sent an exchange recently and was about 14 days from when I posted it until I received it back

Has anyone had any, err, odour problems with the Core jersey ? Once I've sweated a bit it starts to smell like those cheap 90s polyester cycling jerseys. Not so nice putting it on again to commute home after wearing it in the morning.
Not had this problem with any other Rapha jerseys (or any other modern brand come to that).

Surprised as the Core jersey has supposed to have had an anti-bacterial treatment to fight off smells ?

Anyone know a rough turn-around time for the repair service?

3 weeks

Mine recently took 4 weeks.
Must be crash season.

Anyone know how long it takes for them to reply to an email...? I sent them one on the 1st and haven't had anything back yet...

Fixie crit season

Ouch.

Raced today? You are well on form.

I don't think that was a burn on me? Mainly cos I don't race fixed.

No, not a targeted burn there.

Thought so. Phew!
Doubt anyone at red hook crit was wearing Rapha. Too mainstream for them id presume.

I had this auto-reply when emailing Rapha about my Core jersey 'odour'

I'm pretty sure I went to send the Core Jersey back and order a Club Jersey instead. I ordered the Core 24th April and have worn it five times for commuting since. What's their returns policy like ? Should I be ok to send it back for a refund whilst ordering a Club Jersey ?

Edit - I note there returns policy says :-

Making a return is easy. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, return it within 90 days of receipt and in saleable condition for a refund or like-for-like exchange.

Great !

All returns should be in ‘as new’ condition, both unwashed and unworn.

Oh. Am I stuck with the Core jersey ?

Yes

If it's within 90 days send it back for a refund with a note saying you're returning it because you're not happy with the material. And buy the club jersey separately.

Ah ok. I didn't get that response when I emailed on the 1st but it probably wasn't far off. I'll give em another week before I follow up.

Thanks Scoot I'll do just that

Rapha sunglasses!
Need.
