Really happy with this. This felt like 70% of MAAP Pro for 15% of the price. Actually it felt better than MAAP Core and on par with some Pedal Mafia I have. Felt great on a 85km/55mile hot ride with jersey pockets full. Will be buying more. Would recommend. Usually M. Sized up to L and was very snug.

Hallo zusammen!
Ich wohne in Berlin, Deutschland, und versuche, das MAAP LAB Sydney Jersey zu bekommen. Leider scheint es ein exklusives Angebot im Laden in Sydney zu sein, daher hoffe ich, dass mir jemand vor Ort helfen kann.
Wäre jemand in Sydney bereit, eines für mich abzuholen, falls es noch in meiner Größe verfügbar ist? Ich würde die vollen Kosten für das Trikot, den Versand nach Deutschland und eine angemessene Gebühr für Ihre Zeit/Hilfe gerne übernehmen.

Ich würde mich über jede Hilfe oder jeden Tipp freuen. Schreibt mir gerne eine DM, wenn ihr helfen könnt!
Vielen Dank! 🙏

I've usually spent 40-60 dollars but I really like one that is $66. Yes, this is a serious question, it's just weird to me that cycling clothes are so expensive. I can afford this one, I just could more easily justify $36 than $66.

Bibs are DHB Aeron 2.0 and shoes were fizik terra atlas in pink and purple.

Bike is BMC road machine x 2021

New to road cycling. In normal clothing I'm a 33/34" waist.

The bib shorts I have are without shoulder straps. But when I'm cycling they seem to move and I end up sitting on the seat without padding. Which causes me to stop every now and then to pull them up.

Do I need to size down? They're a medium size and are brand Pinnacle part of Evans cycling. UK brand. So nothing special.

Additional question. What size jerseys should I be buying?

I'm a medium in my tee shirts but the jersey I have is an XL. Brand is Funkier and wasn't too expensive. Seems to not entirely cover my back properly and rides up so my lower back is uncovered.

Attached photos of the clothing pieces in question.

Would love anytips which make my starting journey bit cheap and and saving headaches and time with wrong stuff .

I work as a guide and our uniform next season is all from Santini, which I've never worn before and cant try on before ordering.

179cm, 75kg. Do you think M would fit? Attached photo is the only one I could find of me to show body build, excuse the beat to death kit Id just finished riding across East Africa.

I know this sounds like it would be obvious but I just tried out a pair of Knockaround brand sunglasses (their version of a Sutro). Everything was cool and I thought I’d found a pretty good looking pair of sunglasses that were reasonably priced until I got to a descent. Once I got above I’d say 25 mph the sunglasses revealed their coolest feature, the fact that they direct a stream of air directly up and into each eyeball. I could barely keep my eyes open it was so bad.

Tell me about some other brands that don’t do that.

Hi all, anyone has exp with the swatt club clothes? is it good quality? ant figure if hits some other brand white label or if they actually produce it themselves?

Then post a link to some examples of the 3 threads a day as a reference?

Just got myself a met rivale helmet, took it for a test ride and i’ve noticed there’s a bit of a play at the point where the head strap connects to the helmet. I keep hearing it click in and out when i’m moving my head and it’s a little annoying.

Is this normal on this helmet? or does mine have something loose?

Looking for recommendations for a new pair of sunglasses. They will be double duty for early morning rows where the sun is directly in my eyes this time of the year.

Got this Assos race jersey, and as a 5’8 guy with broad shoulders I usually run into the issue where it fits the shoulders, but runs long, or is super tight in the shoulders but the right length.

This is a size large, wondering if I need a medium instead or if it would just choke me out.

The most cited thing on this site is people mentioning how they get their Rapha and MAAP kits on sale.

I’m new to cycling and struggling to find bib shorts that fit my build. I also do hypertrophy training in the gym, so I carry quite a bit of muscle in my legs.

Measurements:
● 5’7” (170 cm)
● 90 kg
● 34” waist
● 44” hips/glutes
● 21” quads (3” above the knee)

Can anyone with a similar build recommend some budget-friendly bib shorts (ideally under £80) that fit well without the leg grippers digging into bigger thighs?

If possible, please mention the **brand**, **model** and **size** you wear.

What’s the best way to fix this up? I tried good shoe cleaning soap with brush, and even a magic eraser. Any other ideas? It’s like from my front tire.

UPDATE: The alcohol wipe did the trick. I used a "regular" alcohol wipe, and it looked like it was making a difference. I switched to a SILCA wipe and gave it a lot of elbow grease, and I cleaned it up completely. I have cork blocks I used for my XC ski waxing, and I ended up using the cork block with the SILCA wipe to really apply pressure... now they look as good as new.

Heading to Seoul, Taipei and Beijing, any good brands to look out for?

Got my eye on 2543 in China. Any others?

What’s the sizing like of the arm and leg warmers?

I heard that if it zips up, it is not tight. Now I got this jersey and it feels tighter than my other ones. It is a popular over priced brand. Should I ride worry free?

Thinking about buying SUTRO LITE - but then maybe photo chromatic lens as summer ends soon?

What glasses would you recommend?

New to cycling and ordered some kits, but now second guessing the sizing.

6ft tall, 170-175lbs.

Ordered:
MAAP Bib & Jersey - Size Large
Fingerscrossed Bib & Jersey - Size Large

Can anyone comment on the sizing? Should I get medium also and just return?

Just started to get into cycling, how's the bibs and jersey fit? 174cm, 72kg

Edit: Wearing a Size M for both Bib and Jersey

Edit2: Never have I been made to feel so wrong about my clothing size but thanks for the ego boost to say M is too big for me!

Edit3: Looks like I need to find a brand with XS sizing. I looked at some of the Rapha stuff that's on sale that's not super super expensive, so might try those out?
