Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Does it affect the fibers struturally? That would explain the bobbling perhaps.

I'm not doing a one-off wash for a jersey. Do you think I'm made of money? I've spent it all on Rapha.

I do 3 washes a week, colours, whites and cycling. All cycling goes in together, merino, bibs, gloves everything with no softener in delicates 40 wash low spin.
