Louis Garneau Mesh Carbon Base Layer - Sleeveless - Men's

Louis Garneau Mesh Carbon Base Layer - Sleeveless - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 10, 2012

If you are new to cycling you might think, "adding more layers to stay cooler is crazy!" But with the awesome technology of fabrics and sewing techniques these layers do just that. They make it more comfortable to ride in hot weather. I love these and have a few of them. I have ridden in 80-115 degrees F and I can tell a difference between just a jersey and pairing my jersey with one of these. They seem less sticky and much more comfortable. 5 stars.

Rating for this product: 4 April 30, 2012

Bottles are not all created equal, some of them are a little skinnier than others. Yes, if you have a skinny bottle this and (several other cages) will eject your bottle. I used this cage on a MTB with a Cleanbottle and had no issues what so ever. This was a rocky course in a race situation so if it was going to eject, this course would of done it. In my experience this cage has been just fine with a proper fitting bottle.

Rating for this product: 5 March 5, 2012

I don't usually wear anything on my head during the winter but in the sub 40 degree F days I wanted something to keep my ears warm. This has been great. Be careful with how you align the velcro on the back, if it is slightly off the velcro rubs into your scalp. Its not a big deal for the first hour or so but after a 4 hour ride your scalp will be a little raw. After that initial discovery it has been perfect and It has been great. I usually wear a normal cycling cap over the top and I have been fine.

The first time I wore these was in a Duathlon race (run bike run) in Feb. They didn't stay up very well on the first run, were awesome on the bike and stayed up on the 2nd run (swollen watt producers I guess). Since then I have used them on several spring rides and they have been great. Never slipping and keeping my knees toasty. I am thinking of getting a few more pairs.

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2010

This jacket is sick. I wore it to a cyclocross race in temps around the 30's with 6 inches of fresh Utah powder on the ground. It was a rough course so it wasn't long until I was sweating and heating up but the jacket breathed very well. The wind was not a factor wearing this jacket and I honestly forgot I had it on during the entire race. The wrist cuffs are awesome, the cuffs fit perfectly around your wrists and this jacket was born and bred to be on a bike but still look good before and after on the street. Putting it on is a little awkward but once its on, its on like donkey kong. I wish they had more colors as I would buy one of each. I am super cheap and hate to spend money but I would spend money on this jacket over and over again. I am pretty tall and the length was just right, it should be ideal for average height people.

These tires are great for those dry races or slightly tacky races. If there is mud or snow leave these at home. They are pretty fast on the pavement/sidewalk sections and do a decent job in most conditions. I was surprised about how few flats I have had as well.

The 808's will be great if you are doing triathlons or road races where seconds count. They will also be a little stiffer if you are a heavier guy. Same great hubs and spokes just different widths.

If you do crash hard and bend it the Ti is malleable enough that you can bend it back with out fear of cracking. It takes a lot of force to bend it either way.

Litespeed CX Cyclocross Frameset

Litespeed CX Cyclocross Frameset

November 9, 2009

I would recommend going with the 54. It has a true 54cm top tube but a smaller seat tube at 53, you will hear some people say size down in cross bikes but it all depends on the geometry of that specific bike. Cross bikes have a slightly lower bottom bracket so they can seem a little bigger but with that 53 seat tube you should be good to go. You may need to try a few stem lengths to get the best feel but you will love this bike. One of the best materials ever for a cross bike. Hope that helps.

October 23, 2009

Reynolds does not put weight limits on most of their wheels but the heavier riders will cause the wheels to flex more. They recommend a spoke count of 20/24 (which these have) for over 190 lbs. So you will be fine. You may have to true them a little more often but they will keep you up and stand up to the abuse.
