Re: [RBW] Re: OT PSA: Ibex merino shirts at Sierra Trading Post

Patrick- Most of the t-shirts look to be a mid weight merino. A few of them are lighter weight, but these ones are 87% wool/13% nylon. The nylon will help with durability issues, and it's a low enough percentage to not adversely affect the benefits of the wool. I've had a few Ibex tops since the

Are those the very lightweight wool Ts? If so, how durable are they -- that is, how well do they stand up to snagging and rubbing, and are they, after 12 months of regular wear, still free of snags, rips, and holes? I've blown my cycling budget for 2016 -- just bought 2 pr of the 3/4 El Fitos at

[RBW] Re: Since we are talking handlebars...mythbusting and are bars like saddles?

The ‘best’ handlebar exist as much as the best saddle, musician, movie, or food. That is, there is no such thing as a universal best…as Patrick stated the term only has objective meaning to the person using it. And if others are like me, that even depends on what day you ask me. Or what

[RBW] Re: Since we are talking handlebars...mythbusting and are bars like saddles?

" Is there such a thing as the "best bar"? " " *the "best" is whatever works for you, the rider."* I agree with this sentiment. How can a handlebar on its own be "comfortable", or not comfortable? It is a non-moving piece of metal. It depends on your setup and how your bike fits, on how you

Wow, I really love that blue 58cm Rosco Road model. Everything about that bike just seems ideal to me. It looks like it would be great fun to ride around. Since it has a Quickbeam fork, I would build it up as a single speed. Just for fun. On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 6:56:30 PM

"Best" is always "best for me" but different people with similar riding conditions often prefer similar things -- eg, leather (as opposed to leather covered) saddles for very long distance riders. There's a reason rando bars rise at the ramps. #2: you are joking, right? On Fri, Oct 28, 2016 at
