Thought it was a bit chilly today so decided to try Rapha's winter embro which I thought would warm me up a bit. I applied some generously around my crotch area. Little did I know this stuff burns so bad, it felt like my crotch was on fire so I spent about fifteen minutes trying to cool my burning loins with the hairdryer on cool setting. It was quite painful, even now 4 hours after being applied my thighs are still burning hot. Maybe it's just me, but damn that stuff is strong. Will be applying less next time and far away from my crotch.
Hahahahahahaha, pmsl. Bless you Hunter, for your honesty and for reminding me that, in spite of your superhuman powers of purchasing and acquisition and your tiny body and huge feet, you are still human!!!!

Pmsl, again.

I'm sure it's really good. But that wasn't my point.
Well cycling is the sport of cunts anyway. So good evening to u 2 brother.
-
Really? Expound. Have u tried the nanoflex material? Worth every penny. Even if it does apparently say douchebag all over it!?!
-
Planet X sport wool socks are awesome, castelli nanoflex bib shorts and tights are my go to Lycra for wet and cold stuff, wet weather performance is second to none, I don't even bother with Rapha tights because the Castelli ones are so good.

Cocaine or cycling.
Low rise is my pet hate. One of the reasons I rate the Rapha shorts over the Swrve ones is the Rapha ones are in the same place at the end of a ride as they were at the start, while the Swrve ones require frequent adjusting
Low rise is where my trousers always are when I'm off my bike, anything high and I feel like Simon Cowell, so if I'm riding then it's Lycra and if I'm just going to the pub and plan to take off my shoes at the other end then it's low rise, can't really see the point in serious riding in high waisted shorts, just wear Lycra?!

If you have the disposable income to do that, why are you even looking at the pricetag on cycling gear?
Because getting a bargain feels righteous, kind of like saving money even though you're spending it, which 'gives' u even more disposable to spend on moar Rapha.

Got two pairs, absolute bargain. However, sent them straight back. Really low rise so sat below the waist. Soon as bent over they slipped down. That is probably the reason they are on sale.
Yeah only really for short bursts to the pub or into town, where you've got to be off the bike for a while, not really performance cycling gear but there's definitely a time and a place for them. if I cycle to work I just shower and change so Lycra is perfect
Yep. Quality looking gear, but just a Rapha copy for running really, homepage and signature stripe is not dissimilar to waffa at all. Two sports aren't that similar, don't see people running round in 12 grand of running shoes, so probably gonna seem more expensive compared to the rest of your running kit. They'll need to lock down the high end running gear market before they spread themselves thinly into cycling. Finally, when they branch into cycling, they'll need enough capital to support 'grass roots' and pro cycling like Rapha and to get a high street/boutique/coffee shop presence not web only, this will make them feel local, like a local bike shop. And that is a fuck of a lot of jerseys to shift to get to there, so yeah, they may eventually out-Rapha Rapha, but not before 2023 xx
