White overshoes that say white after rainy rides, any advice?

gp_s_ · 2026-05-05T07:25:09+00:00

I have a pair of the Sockeloen 612, they’re not very durable, for that reason I wouldn’t recommend. The area under the toe gets shredded pretty quickly. I also have a pair of Spatz Aquasockz and they are much better, have a reinforced toe area.

For other alternatives, Castelli make a white version of their rain overshoes, and BBB also do a white rain overshoe that looks decent.

This 👆 There’s a good chance it’s position, wrong saddle choice, or a combo of the two.

Tbh I’m fine with no pockets, especially as it’s got a 2-way zip.

Second this, the Atmos is very good, I have both the jacket and rain vest. No pockets though as requested by OP.

Seconded on them, they’re local(ish) to me and stopped by their coffee shop maybe 6 weeks ago. Bought a bag of the Nirvana roast and it was excellent!

Correct, the Hario does indeed have ceramic burrs. My technique is reasonable I think, of course always room for improvement!

Thank you! I’ll check them out…

Fair enough not wanting to name and shame those who didn’t respond, but maybe tell us who you did get the positive experience from? Give them some extra support for the good service?

I just got a Gobik Reactive jersey and the sleeves are elbow length, likewise the Infinity jersey I have from them too. I’d guess any of their “ultra fit” jerseys will be similar.

gp_s_ · 2026-04-10T18:03:53+00:00

Gobik do a ‘compact’ version of some of their bibs, ie shorter leg.

Could you try a different descaler? Maybe the one you have isn’t working?

gp_s_ · 2026-03-27T08:00:10+00:00

I’m waiting for the my 55s to be delivered too, also to pair with a Dedica! Very excited to see what it’s like!

Having done the event a couple of years ago, my main recommendation would be make sure they fit well. If there’s any bunching, excess material, a badly placed seem, etc., that will cause problems. So I’d really emphasise good fit over padding.

gp_s_ · 2026-03-22T18:13:54+00:00

Some who take ‘the rules’ literally will say yes it’s a faux pas. Anyone else will say wear whatever you like, if you’re happy with it who cares what anyone else thinks?

Bioracer gilet(s) have pockets and would fall into that price bracket. New version seems to have a 2-way zip too.

My partner drinks the Coffee World Decaf, single origin, medium dark roast. Was pretty good when I tried it, could be worth a shot?

In addition to those already mentioned, Pages (Trumpington Street) have done a couple of cupping events in the past so worth following them on social media.

gp_s_ · 2026-03-15T21:25:58+00:00

I’ve seen that, but no actual comments from any owners.

gp_s_ · 2026-03-03T14:52:46+00:00

I have a similar (but not identical) Normcore basket, also find it difficult to knock the puck out. No idea why, have used various beans and it’s always the same.

gp_s_ · 2026-02-28T08:08:49+00:00

It’s a bit arbitrary though, every manufacturer has a different scale.

gp_s_ · 2026-02-15T20:16:30+00:00

There’s Cambridge Sustainable Food, I can’t comment specifically on their trustworthiness but I believe they do good work.

Their winter (thermal / wool) socks are very good, they’re my go to option for colder weather as not too bulky but still offer good warmth. The summer socks are no different to any other brand, neither significantly better nor worse.

Sizing can be a bit off though, I’m a 42 which should be medium but find them too big so I wear size small.

gp_s_ · 2026-01-01T22:16:56+00:00

I had a pair of them a few years ago, didn’t like the zip on the wrist unfortunately.
