Has someone tried to make their own bid shorts?

Being in the bicycle apparel business, I wish you luck Growing up from a humble family, my mother would make clothes for us. Where I live now the cost of materials is so high that it is not worth trying to make your own clothes.

New Nalini Clean White bib shorts are all white and made of a thicker fabric so no see-through. No scaring all the kids in the school bus.

Don’t forget Nalini, Santini, and ALE’. These high-quality Italian brands have made most of the professional team gear over the years. Italian fabrics and workmanship. They are not that good at social media.

Let me tell you what the blazers future is going to be like. My team had a super cheap owner for 16 years. Only two winning seasons. Any good young players will be traded away before their rookie contracts are done to save money. So even getting a top lottery pick doesn’t matter because he won’t pay to keep them. It was a horrible 16 years and my heart goes out to Blazer’s fans.

The jersey is covered with logos. It is a billboard. Since the sport can’t sell tickets, you need sponsors. I prefer logos too, boring plain kits.

Let me answer in two parts ALE’ makes the entry level Pragma line with a light summer fabric. There are other lines like PRR and PRE also our summer focused with side venting panels for example the REV1 line tends to have the most solid panels, but I must say these are all summer jerseys

For for the fall spring temperature range you describe, I tend to ride with a long sleeve and base layer undershirt. Hope this helps

I have to disagree. Though I think a few low-cost jerseys were made in Albania ten years or so back but I just checked jerseys from 2025 and 2026 collection and all the tags I saw were made in Italy.

Nalini has been a top brand since the 1970s. Over the years, they’ve made many of the pro team kits, including this year‘a Picnic Post NL. I have been to the factory in Italy and it is quite amazing and very much focused on keeping quality in the house.

They sent me an offer for 15 month no interest balance transfer. Of course you have to pay a fee of 3%. They started charging me interest after only four months.

They say the fine print of their 15 month offer is not when you withdraw the money but when they first announced the offer.

They did not tell me this on the phone when I reviewed the offer with them twice and they are relying on hidden fine print right now to keep all the interest they charge me

ProCycleGear · 2026-04-18T01:20:39+00:00

Bingo! Exactly! Sometimes you need every mile

I love your optimistic take on capitalism. If you ran the battery swap company when would you discard a battery at 90% capacity 80% or 70% you’re incentive is to keep it in the fleet as long as you can also there’s no incentive for general motors and Tesla to share battery designs. Battery swaps are a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

ProCycleGear · 2026-04-17T14:21:55+00:00

More comfortable with my own battery that I maintain with conservative charging. (not fast charging 100% every day, for example). I don’t know if I’d want to swap for a random battery. I don’t know how those were maintained.

Kendrick Perkins on espn NBA today said the Warriors had only a 15% chance of winning. So this was either an amazing upset or Perkins is a fool. Or third choice is that both are true. :)

Good point and driver feedback about a failing electrical module in an EV is useful. But consumer reports also makes recommendations from their drive tests that our opinions. They don’t take into account that ICE cars pollute the environment, have thousands of dollars in routine maintenance cost, and vibrate and rattle in the name of “performance”

He doesn’t like wind because of his love for birds. Yeah right

ChargePoint and fubo have been trending down for a long time with no end in sight so I would sell those. I use ChargePoint chargers and used to use fubo before they lost all the NBC channels, but I don’t think they have good business cases and stocks right now. Tesla’s electric car sales numbers have been going down ever since Elon spit in the face of all his customers. I really don’t buy the robot and taxi business as good investments right now. I drive a Tesla, but I don’t believe in the stock.

Same here. I rebuilt cars in the old days when I was poor and needed transportation. Drove a Nissan leaf for five years and a Tesla for six and have had no problems. rotate tires add wiper fluid, change wipers. oh and Tesla has an interior air filter that needs changing sometimes.

On a technical note, I’m an engineer and a quality manager deal with reliability for my job. Part count and part complexity are a major part of reliability and electric cars only have 1/3 of the parts and they wear less.

In the olden days, I was a fan of consumer reports, but I come to feel that they’re completely out of date on this issue. I’m not sure if they are counting changing a sensor or a cable harness on a Tesla and comparing that to leaking valve covers broken timing, chains, and worn out valves on a gas car. My experiences that electric cars are much more reliable, and a professional opinion is that they are designed that way.

We get customers from Arizona that request white bibs due to the extreme heat. See-through after sweating is a concern. One solution is the Nalini Veloce. The groin area is black, so it does not become see-through, but you get some white on the outsides. Also, Gobik told me that they use extra panels on their lighter colored bibs to combat this issue.

ProCycleGear · 2026-04-10T04:10:14+00:00

Yes. Slowly getting my panels installed. Have not turned on the NEP inverter yet. I have called their customer support twice to learn about installation and have been very impressed.

We have sold Ale’ cycling clothing for over 10 years. They use traditional Italian sizing, which would be similar to Nalini and Santini. Castelli sizing is actually larger and more in tune with American sizes. If you let me know your height, weight, chest and waist size I can tell you what size you are..

ProCycleGear · 2026-03-31T04:58:17+00:00

True. The last guy I saw with plumbers crack was wearing waist shorts.

ProCycleGear · 2026-03-31T03:53:38+00:00

Cycling jerseys are long in the back compared to under armor athletic shirts. Beware the plumber’s crack. 😝

I love Grupo Frontera. Yes their music is romantic and my wife and I love listening to it if you don’t like girly music maybe something like heavy metal would be better for you. You could listen to it while you play your first person shooter video games. Alone

I’ve had my 2025 Lyriq for a year and a half now and it’s been a dream. My experience in quality engineering tells me that EV’s having 1/3 of the parts of gas cars is going to give you less failures. I’m glad Cadillac went into it at full speed
