Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I'm a medium in rapha core shorts, but a large in sportful shorts.

What happened to the white version of the pro team full frame glasses? Was waiting for this to come back in stock but they only restock the black and navy version.

Like a dick, I slipped on some ice over Christmas and tore a hole in my (ancient) PT shorts. They were on the way out anyway, but does anyone know if there is an expiration on the repair service? They were bought in 2016. They would still be good for use on the turbo if so.

Or some big staples to get the pro look?

Cheers, will give this a go

Just keep on using them as they are mate...

Did anyone join the mobility for cyclists Zoom thing this evening?

It's great that Rapha is offering it (for free) and believe me I need it! But the nice lady went SO fast, I found it almost impossible to keep up with. Just about managed, somehow, but it was constantly that thing where the instructor has been doing it for nearly ten seconds already and I was just getting started.

@pifko @wence thankyou

I saw the email about it but it wasn’t time zone friendly for me.

Is it available to watch any time somewhere?

If you registered interest you could click a link after to download it

pm me if you need the download, think ive downloaded 3 of them to do later

I’ve used that service twice and vaguely recall instigating the ticket via ‘my orders’ on the website, or at least having the items there was involved in some part of the process. Did you buy them online?

Make sure you watch them in slow motion ;)

I'll only get last night's onwards but if you want any of those you can PM me too @mcmyk

Thanks, stupidly didn't even think to check online. Thought I'd got them from a shop. Submitted that request. They were bought in 2016 so will be impressed if that gets processed. Testament to the quality of the older Rapha stuff that they are still rideable after 4 years and many hours of abuse. Not sure my current ones will last that long.

How big are the holes/scuffs? Easier to apply iron-on heat press patches at home to keep them running? (if feeling fancy, in whichever design you care to dream of from ebay).

That isn't a bad shout. It's a hole about the size of a pog, quite a neat circular one with a little flap. Depends how much it'll cost to send them off to Waffa. I'll see what they come back with.

They say ‘notify when available’ in the size select so there’s a high possibility that they will come back into stock at some point. I just don’t know when that would be of course

Thanks brexit!

I'm in Lithuania and shipments from Rapha shipped with DHL express would usually come in two days but now on 2nd day it landed in customs. I've got an email from customs officer asking invoices, short description of an item and an agreement that DHL would proceed with customs procedures.

I thought we agreed on free trade?
I guess that agreement doesn't exclude all this paperwork with customs. >:(

on a none Rapha related note; i wanted some new tyres for my MTB, all the usual german website i've used the past simply don't even have the UK as an option fro shipping... North Korea is there, but not the UK..... so yeah, yay Brexit

If you were the guy shoplifting packs of smoked salmon in M&S Greenwich in an Explore jacket yesterday my wife says you’re barred

Sure it wasn't an official Rapha photoshoot?

‘urban foraging’

@cake and I have been to this M&S and we were in full Rapha .. but that was in summer.

I lol'd.
