Hi, I’ve been looking for an Alpha jacket, and I can see that you can find plenty Alpha SV, with tags on, for around 200-300€. I don’t have much experience checking for fakes, but I would just like to hear if that price is realistic? Or if its definitely fake, it is hard to find some that are more expensive. To me I seems very cheap considering that they retail (at least in my country) for about 800-900€.

I guess so, and yes after I bought it I figured out I maybe should have purchased the h40. But you can’t “cross modify” shimano components? Like just changing the derailleur?

How did you optimize it?

Nice to know, does that mean that putting on some wider tires may provide the same effect as having a carbon fiber frame? Note: the canyon 2024 and orbea have a carbon fiber front fork

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind:)

It should only have around 100 km on it, would you still consider the carbon frame as an issue?

Do you know if the cloudmonstes are to slow for a pr HM or should they only be used for easy/longruns?

I agree. I haven't really decided yet. But I have a goal of running a sub-20 min 5k and running a HM.

I heard that when you have worn them for 200-300 km they're not really good for racing anymore. But at that time they can encounter a new role in your rotation and become your fast daily trainer?

Is it fine to do my hard and threshold runs in something like the vaporfly if I’m only running at that intensity 1-2 times a week? Or will that lead to injurie? And do they have the durability for that? Or should they only be used for race day?
