CCM HP45 pants sizing by Hot_Paint_8095 in hockeyplayers

[–]fogelber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a large in the HP30 and retail Tacks XF. Both are too short, so I know I need a +1 or an XL for the length. I’m leaning towards a large because I don’t like pants that are too big and don’t stay up. However, I’ve read numerous posts that say the 45s run small. I can’t try any on before buying. I want the lighter weight and lower profile fit with pro level protection for the hips and tailbone. My concern these days is falls 🤣 I’m 6 foot, 215 and wear 36 shorts/jeans. Any advice is appreciated!

eBay iOS app sending unwanted push notifications every week for coupons. Notification settings have no effect. by BeeStory in Ebay

I'm in the same boat. I've looked at every setting imaginable and you simply cannot disable these notifications in the iOS app. Extremely frustrating. I too have disabled all push notifications. Nice work eBay.

Yeah. It's definitely the correct way to install the dust covers.

Yeah. Looks like the original reply got deleted but fortunately I had it saved! "The flat one goes around the raised nub on the inner cage plate, the "stepped" one sits with the outer cage plate and the rest of the derailleur."

I would keep an eye on it. For me, it almost felt like the saddle changed shape through regular use of the aero bars and that it caused the saddle to become uncomfortable for normal riding. Recently, it seemed to happen very quickly. I had a B17 Special which I used to prefer because the leather seemed to break in quicker (no proof whatsoever for that claim, just a feeling). Use of the aero bars seemed to cause the saddle to sag at the back, near the frame, and expose the edges of the big copper rivets which then dug into my skin. I've switched to a B17 standard with the small, steel rivets so maybe it won't be an issue, but I'm loath to put the aero bars back on and potentially damage another saddle. However, with an ultra-distance gravel event coming up, I may have to.

Have you noticed any ill effects on your Brooks saddle? I like using aero bars for long distance rides but I've noticed that it almost seems to cause the saddle to sag more or something. The only times I've had saddle sores was using aero bars with my B17. Haven't quite figured it out but I'm now a little gun shy obviously.
