I received some knock off Rapha gear. Pictures I'm guessing were just taken of actual rapha kit, looked fleecy, jerseys cotton or something. The actual stuff thats arrived is smaller than the size chart and badly printed on very cheap lycra. So bad I won't bother wearing them even in the rain.

Just spent £70 odd with Spexcel, and hours later my long-sleeved fleecy jersey from a previous order turned up. Ordered a Medium but definitely should've ordered a large (178cm, 80kg 'gym goer'). Some hurried emails being sent off to them..

Was it from spexcel?

Nah this stuff

Can't rate the one from the first link highly enough.

I am well accustomed to aliexpress shipping times. pay peanuts get monkeys. I am fine with it

Yeah I ordered L and XL from all the reviews on various items saying "fits very small"

uh oh, maybe I should ask if they can change to large...

Any suggestions for winter gloves?

Try Decathlon

I was hoping for some aliexpress links. Because of the sale, you know

It'll be Spring by the time they arrive

just order 2. someone on here will have the size that doesnt fit

Can anyone tell me the tyre clearance on the FM066 disc? I'm looking at PlanetX's RTD-80, which is supposed to be a rebranded FM066...

I had an rt-90 and ran 28mm without problems. How large diabetes are you planning to go?

True, but I would not mind. I'm kicking myself now. I was too hangover to put in an order. I wonder if they do black friday deals

How large diabetes are you planning to go?

Amazing piece of autocorrect....

+1

My sugar cravings have been massive all weekend, so around 28 sounds perfect

Has anyone found their VCLS appears to be printed on backwards?
I got the minimal setback one ?5mm? which appears to bend one way (slightly) but has the measurement scale and the words "BACK" printed on what should be oriented as the front.

Will I die?

Haven't checked mine. But I don't have a frame that takes 27.2 so I haven't used it in a while. Didn't die when I did use it though. Although I did have trouble with it slipping but not because it's backwards!

Knock off Paul's anyone?
