Had a pair on yesterday. I think I have 4 or 5 pairs and the only complaint I have would be the belt. If they had a web belt they would be the best shorts I've ever owned. Probably still are. I'll buy more. Frank Tomahawk,WI On Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 3:14:07 PM UTC-5 RichS wrote: >

Ray, What isn't included in the story is the use of a rear derailleur hanger extender. It's been mentioned in bits and pieces within their various media. There's many brands but what they all do is essentially lower the rear derailleur hanger which allows the RD to clear much larger cogs than

Oh my word. You’re right - I completely missed this. A secret Platypus! The only Platys I know of that deviated from the production run colors were the samples, all of which we have seen. An orange, a silver and a bronzey green. I don’t know what this root beer one is all about but I’m going

I have 2 pair long and 2 shorts from the first offering, the mustard color ones. I wear them, but not as often as I used to. Great pants and shorts. I like to rode with the pants when cook since I can cinch the bottom of the leg opening. On Friday, August 27, 2021 at 6:23:13 PM UTC-4

All this talk of MUSA shorts coming back reminded me that I'm still looking for some. Anyone have a pair? All the nylon shorts I've found at thrift stores so far have been disappointing... I'd be happy to trade a pair of older MUSA Pants (Black Size L) for them. On Friday, July 23, 2021 at

When you think about a 2x, something like a 34-46 double with that 13-42 cassette has a pretty decent range & the front should shift just fine. H. dougP On Sunday, August 29, 2021 at 5:36:32 PM UTC-7 Ray Varella wrote: > Thank you Garth, > So if my rear derailer wraps 40 teeth, I

Although a pair of pants (or maybe knickers) sound appealing, I don't expect to buy the new ones. I own an earlier generation of the grey/blue pants, with Velcro leg straps. The material is fine, for what it is. My two primary beefs are the elastic belt and the silly-low rise, which combine to

+ 1,000. Why, oh why do manufacturers of "cycling" pants cut them low in back or, alternatively, with high crotches? I've owned any number of high-end and low-end cycling shorts, knickers, and long pants that, this defect apart, would have been wonderful, but instead cut them like low-rise street
