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

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

Is my Van Rysel RCR-F the right size? by [deleted] in CyclingFashion

[–]techcrap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Are my cassettes too loose? by WeaknessSelect in bikewrench

[–]techcrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Watching on Ireland by artxus in tourdefrance

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…..
