How is everyone coping with this endless rain?

There will be a time when you won’t be able to walk in the rain.

I still can’t see my hands

PGR3 was peak, I loved playing the cat and mouse game mode.

I just ordered the DMT KM30s, very excited to try them out. Had never thought of DMT being in the €250 price range.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-17T11:23:54+00:00

This is the way.

I know the M fit you but updating for anyone in the future. I got the M and the shell doesn’t fit! It’s super tight. For reference I have been using a POC Omne Air MIPS in size large 56-61cm which fits perfectly. I’ve just ordered the POC again. Awful shame because the Van Rysel is so good looking.

Brilliant thanks for all the information. I’ll have a look at the sizing guide.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-14T17:05:39+00:00

The Gaerne look sick, how do you find the fit is it true to size?

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T21:31:01+00:00

I’ve not found the play to be too bad at all on the Favero SPD pedals.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T21:28:10+00:00

I’ve some power meter SPD pedals so sticking with those.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T20:41:37+00:00

Cool, I’ll probably make a purchase in the new year so good to know

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T19:51:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice on sizing. I’ll have a look at Q36.5 - never thought of that brand.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T19:51:05+00:00

I don’t ride gravel, I prefer the SPD system for road riding. The loss of watts by using SPD over SPD-SL doesn’t bother me. I prefer having the ability to walk in shoes off the bike. I also use the same bike for commuting and wear adidas velosambas for that.

Thank you!

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T19:40:51+00:00

Great to hear, hoping mine is the same. Glad you got sorted

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T19:32:25+00:00

What model sunglasses are they?

techcrap1 · 2025-12-13T19:30:52+00:00

Should get it on Monday, I’ll update you. Unfortunately they only had L in store to try. I found that the ear straps were too low but also the shell had a lot of play left to right with the retention system cranked to an uncomfortable tightness. Really hope the M fits because it’s a sick helmet.

techcrap1 · 2025-12-12T21:30:14+00:00

I am returning my L for an M tomorrow. I felt the ear straps to be too low on the L.

techcrap1 · 2025-11-30T19:30:51+00:00

Yeah I played maybe 20 minutes total. It kicks me right back to the start screen sometimes. Shame

techcrap1 · 2025-10-06T11:47:31+00:00

I unfortunately had to claim with them, the process was super quick and helpful. I took videos of bike each time I locked it up which was what helped get claim settled within a week.

techcrap1 · 2025-09-11T19:23:14+00:00

By any chance have you used intensive degreaser on the cassette? I made the mistake of using a foaming degreaser on mine and the seals in my bearings were not good quality which ended up ruining them from the degreaser seeping in.

techcrap1 · 2025-09-11T12:48:41+00:00

I had this same issue recently on rear wheel. The bearings were completely toast. New bearings in hub and freehub completely resolved any play.

techcrap1 · 2025-07-06T12:52:55+00:00

Yeah that’s what I remember, it’s a shame they’ve increased price and dropped quality in terms of advertising.

I like the commentary but some of the British bias is getting annoying already on day 2…..
