I recently bought a Ostroy Omloop jersey and noticed that it has these shutterstock watermarks on them. If they are stealing the images, that's really shitty of them

I recently discovered Gore-Tex patches.

https://www.amazon.com/GEAR-AID-Tenacious-Gore-TEX-Rectangle/dp/B001UNEX4A?th=1

With the look of that fabric though, sewing rather than patching, or both, might be the way.

One tip for braids when active - the shorter your hair, the smaller size of rubber bands you’ll need to keep them tight. Larger fabric covered bands ones will likely slip off. The small stickier ones hold well but remove them slowly, otherwise you’ll rip your hair out!

You can find these at any beauty supply store: https://www.amazon.com/Hicarer-Rubber-Elastic-Wedding-Hairstyle/dp/B0791BYJWG

I roll these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F9TLP14?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Pretty comfy, decent enough lenses, good side coverage, and seem to keep the wind out of my eyes on fast downhills.

I like the blue, because it cuts down on blue light. So, the world is tinted a little towards the yellow.

Loving all the kind comments! You can buy them here for $7.98 :) They also come in black!

I wear these over my socks in my shoes during winter months of riding. They work incredibly well. When you first start wearing them they are noticeable but after a couple weeks of wearing them you forget they are there. https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Sockee-Neoprene-Warmers-Construction/dp/B076B4PDZR/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=107VI0GUEU5PJ&keywords=hot+sockee&qid=1666986945&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjg2IiwicXNhIjoiMS4zMyIsInFzcCI6IjEuMDgifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=hot+sockee%2Ca...

I believe I have the original smaller one. Just looked and I’m not familiar with the ‘grande’ version. Fitting up to three tubes seems excessive though!

Without knowing exactly what you have, I’m gonna guess that the Park multi-tool is probably one of the bulky ones? Replacing it with something more compact and streamlined for on the road might be the ticket. I use the PrestaCycle Pocket Ratchet and find it to be super easy to use and very compact.

I've been using Nathan Power Wash for years on running, cycling, and hiking clothing for years and at this point won't use anything else. Materials show no wear or degradation from washing and they also don't have any of the built-up stink that's so common in synthetic fabrics used in athletics.

I think OAKLEY Sutro Lite or Flak 2.0 might work. They're great cycling glasses, but not too obnoxious that you can't wear them outside of cycling.

I don't think they'll help much to be honest.

A company makes/made a product to go on hoods (I'm guessing that's where he's having issues): https://www.amazon.co.uk/G-Form-Brake-Hood-Over-Grips/dp/B004DP9KDG

I'd be tempted to DIY a similar solution myself. Would really be worth it. That can be a ride ruining issue.

Thanks that's one of the reasons I got it. I just wanted to find something that was inexpensive and I came across it on Amazon.

It's actually just an inexpensive Jersey from Amazon. Can't complain about it. I didn't want to spend a ton of money right away after purchasing my new bike. The Jersey worked out well for me it fits great and feels great.

I bought one on Amazon a while ago, it's a niche brand that fits the urban casual jacket you mentioned. The important thing is that it's not expensive, just 30 euros, workmanship is not bad.

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08L7645VD

I bought one of these a week ago. I've only used it once, but I like it.
It doesn't have full three pockets in the back, it has one zippered pocket.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YP45TQY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I found this one, but have not bought one, so i can't speak from experience... But i have used other products by Aerotech and have been happy with them.

https://www.aerotechdesigns.com/mens-performance-tech-cycling-tee.html

I run the short finger version of these. They're super lightweight and perfect for summer use. Outdoor Research also has some interesting sun protection pieces of kit.

Qshark off Amazon. Inexpensive but really aren’t bad. They don’t compare to my Sutros but are a good mix up

Queshark Cycling Glasses Polarized Sports Sunglasses for Men Women with 3 Lens for Driving Fishing Baseball Running MTB https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B084WS7SN3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_59F82HZPT3YQZ4NDA9YF

I’ve never used this on “technical fabrics” but I’ve never had any issue with it and I’ve never had it not get a stain out (as long as it goes on within a reasonable timeframe). It’s pretty miraculous IMO.

https://www.amazon.com/Spray-Wash-Treat-Stain-Stick/dp/B002M37QHS

Let it sit for a day and up to a week before washing

What's your budget? What will you use it for?

I use these from Ceco and they have been great so far. Have not tested for longer than 1hr rides, or in the wet though.

I personally haven't bought a pair yet but I want to make them my next buy is sungod.sungod They let you custom build your glasses at no additional price and have two photocromic lense options. A clear to smoked version and what looks like a low light purple to darker purple lense.

The photochromic lenses however are a bit of an upcharge.

What I have tried is kapvoe they're cheap, feel a little cheap but get the job done and haven't scratched yet so I like them. But like others have said they only turn to smoke not a hard black

Well good luck with them. Like I said, i bought the Lp and the Le col deep winter - the latter are -slightly- better, but to really move the needle, i think you need to go for something with an actual loft insulation (which I don't need on torso or legs).

If not, I do heartily recommend https://www.amazon.com/GORE-WEAR-Thermo-Gore-TEX-INFINIUM/dp/B082YDPCNT/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=gore+thermo+split&qid=1636406190&sr=8-1 these.

There's a Giro 100 proof that's similar i think, but the gore was easier for me to get shipped to where i am.

Thirding Rock Bros. I have these in white.

On reviews, people weren't sure if the lenses were darkening, but they'd follow up later and say the lenses did in fact darken.

When I'm out on my rides, I can see the difference in my peripheral vision, between the tinted lens vs. the brighter reality beyond the lens.

I was also seeking Asian Fit, and they seem to do well. The adjustable nose bridge more or less retains its form.

I have some of these that fit and cover nicely and they also will darken themselves a little bit in sunlight so they're useful more than just at night. If you look around from that page I think there are some similar ones for cheaper too.

While I love the creative solution you posted, I bought a collapsible laundry rack on Amazon, and it’s brilliant. I can dry 7 sets bibs and jerseys and still fit more, and when I’m done, it folds up and goes in a closet. This is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7P1GPO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0PH9RBPGQ1MA7BN24F6V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I got a pair of Smith tempo sunglasses off Amazon for $70, I was looking at Tifosi for that price point but I like these a lot more. I used them for a tri and they were great.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QJDT3N1/ref=twister\_B07TKPXDJK?\_encoding=UTF8&th=1

That sucks. I haven’t experienced that at all and I do the same; wash and dry on delicate. Maybe it has to do with the model?

Here’s the link for the ones I have:

Swiftwick- ASPIRE SEVEN Cycling Socks, Firm Compression Fit, Tall Crew https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00791QO7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SSAMHF0YWAFK2HHEV75N

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H7CX4WR I stick one of plastic bands around my ankle.

Can also try adding a bike light to your helmet, middle jersey pocket, and/or your saddle bag.

Polar Bottle Breakaway Wave Lightweight Bike Water Bottle - BPA-Free, Cycling & Sports Squeeze Bottle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081ZMXSML/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_i_8tN0Fb3Z7H5BR

check out the other insulated ones too

The exact ones I got are these:

https://www.amazon.com/Calabria-1003-Fit-Over-Protection-Mirror/dp/B01C3AG2TW/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=Calabria+1003&qid=1606235373&sr=8-2

They’ve been working out awesome for me so far. I might pick up another pair with no tint for overcast days or pre-dawn riding.

Zenni also sells "sport" sunglasses with prescription inserts, it could be worth it to buy them in your prescription and pair the inserts with other wind-blocking sunglasses. Otherwise, I think a less aggressive TT helmet would do nicely. Good luck

Have you considered large frame sunglasses with prescription inserts, like this?

I've consistently been able to find these Pearl Izumi jerseys in extra small for between 6 and 20 dollars. I'm not sure why exactly but the XS will suddenly be super cheap in a random color. Right now the blue is $20.

I rode Triple Bypass on a pair of Spexcel (Surprise Store via Ali Express) bibs. I've got some Pearl Izumi and Sugoi, but I wore my Spexcel because it's actually better than name-brand (admittedly only lower- to mid-level line) bibs I have. No complaints over the 120 mile ride. I got some loser bibs too, which I wear on my shorter rides under 40 miles or so, but the "nice" ones (with the red chamois, they go for $35 or so vs only $20) have been good to me.

I've also got a couple AlieExpress jerseys too, but found the Rion Bike on Amazon to be a hair better for a dollar more and they ship from stateside. They're cut well, have comfortable sleeves, and have cooling panels of fabric.

> kicks-2-go

Think I will pull the trigger on these. Thanks for the advice everyone ! https://www.amazon.com/DOTEY-Slippers-Accessories-Collapsible-Lightweight/dp/B07R4ZPX7F/ref=sr_1_38?keywords=foldable%2Bflip%2Bflops&qid=1568995840&s=gateway&sr=8-38&th=1&psc=1

I went with one of these:

SCICON Elan 210 Saddle Bag

big enough for a spare, CO2 cannister, and a little plastic tire removing tool.

Don't believe the naysayers.

The cheap stuff is typically made in the same Asian factories that make the expensive kits.

I got a $30 set from Amazon Prime and the quality is fantastic. 10/10. Would buy again.

Lately, I've been using these Castelli bibs. Theyre relatively inexpensive and pretty solid for the long haul. My only complaint is that the leg-holes (idk the proper term for this) aren't as nice as my Craft bibs.
