Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Ok that's really helpful thank you.

Thats where @cake lives!

I enjoyed 2016 route. Monsal trail bit is bangin. I dont really remember the last bit though cos i was fucked after 13 hours of trying to keep up with @Señor_Bear and his post cent cols challenge chopper legs.

Thanks!

We all have our crosses to bear.

Bit slow, but a tip i was given and found works is to wash out the bad stains in luke warm water and washing up liquid before a machine wash. just rub the fabric against itself to wash out the worst bits. Worked well for me with light coloured rapha kit.

Make sure you rinse well so the washing machine doesn't explode with foam.

Epic

Thought I'd let you know, if you still have them, that I solved the problem with this great hack!

All you need is some PT Bibs, a coat hanger, 1kg of red onions and 3 netted brown onions.

Hang up the bibs on the hanger, high enough that they are far from the surface of the earth, pop the 1kg bag of red onion onto the gusset. Next, rest the 3 brown onions on top of the aforementioned red onions and then leave for around 48 hours.

Remove onions and use PT Bibs as normal. Testicles are now sure to be unmolested.

Lol. I'll try it.

Is this perilously close to explaining where @edscoble places onions?

I can neither confirm, nor deny, that rumour.

I know its been mentioned alot of times but I cant find it right now.

How true is rapha sizing?? Thinking of buying some shorts/jersey, im 6ft1, 72/3kg and usually wear medium everything.

TIA xo

How tight do you like your jersey? I’m similar height and weight to you and usually go for large. I can fit into a medium but the fit is very tight and I find it restrictive when riding.

Yeah medium will be right

Edit: but Andy makes a point

tbf Ive got a deep chest/rib cage for my slim body (good lunge capacity they tell me) so a large could be a good shout.

Medium bibs sounds fine tho

The returns is quite easy - the bag the stuff comes in reseals and you get a QR code to show the post office folk to pay postage. I wear medium and I’m 5 10 - you may find the bibs short.

How does one get a discount code nowadays? Have a bulging basket with a bottom line that hurts slightly to look at.

edit: sorted, thanks to the generosity here

I'm sure someone on here sent me a referral code when I bought something at the end of last year. Not sure if that's still a thing!

Anyone else not yet had any details about the A Day in Hell? I signed up for Leeds & got a ticket, but haven't heard a peep since then, despite the website saying to expect a route by the beginning of this week.

nb. Due to huge demand, tickets for our UK A Day in Hell Events are now closed. Riders who have tickets will be sent their event details on Monday the 29th of March.

Got the London routes last week

There's a discount code!!! Just bought a kit and could have done with one! Doh

The guy to go for rapha discount codes is @andyp PM him directly. He once sent me a 30% code

Weird. There's no Rapha shop in Leeds, but there are plenty of hellish riding conditions so it wouldn't be hard making a route.

Manchester route came through on Tuesday. Google slides with a link to the GPS that didn't work. Route was shite
