I already own a full kit + extras and just ordered more bibs, jersey, gilet and socks
Their bib shorts are comfy for long rides.
Their attention to detail on the jerseys is impressive.
Seriously good kit for the $ they are asking

So my tip is forget the wh5 PBK code and go the itk10 code which is $75 off instead of $45 after digging around.
Someone hasn't got a Wiggle code by any chance? Looking for a cheap 6800 cassette (11-28) and Conti 4k II tyres (25mm) and Wiggle has the best prices on those. Couldn't be bothered creating another account or phoning a friend.
$810 now..... grrr...

I noted the other day that as well. Used to be $1300 for some of the deeper ones !!2wheels_mond wrote:Wiggle's carbon Prime range of wheels have been discounted to $899/$999, conveniently just under the GST threshold.

How do they compare to DHB aeron if you've tried both? Wiggle have those on sale for $74 and I've found them excellent.caneye wrote: thanks for the tip. just picked up a pair of bib shorts.

If the DHB Aeron are similar to the older DHB Aeron Pros, there are better shorts out there (and the VeloOne shorts are one of them)SheikYerbouti wrote: How do they compare to DHB aeron if you've tried both? Wiggle have those on sale for $74 and I've found them excellent.
Do get me wrong, I wore out 4 pairs of DHB Aeron Pros, bang for buck best shorts for rides up to 80km or so at the time. For distances over that I would wear Assos.
While the VeloOne is not in the Assos long haul comfort line. I find them much better than the DHB Aeron Pros, and quite happily use them for 100km+ rides.
My Assos wore out and were replaced by Capo Padrone shorts which are my now go to, long distance kit.
It is a moot point as all the VeloOne male shorts are sold out

Its a 2013 model from what I can gather. Buy it before I do (and I don't need to add another bike to the collection)

In addition there are selected styles and sizes of sidi wires which are $275, down to $240.49 with the above coupon which is a pretty good price for what is a pretty damn good shoe.

I bought one a month back to sit on a stationary trainer and its a good entry level bike. Has the Claris groupset on it and some Mavic CXP22 rims.
Edit - on their Ebay store, it is showing XS and XXL ($375) in stock too

Pro-team aero jersey is not the best breathing piece of kit in their line-up. On the warmer days not only do you get a silly tan through the mesh sleeves, I notice my core cannot breathe through the material. I find myself unzipping the jersey wide open half the time. I'd be looking at the lightweight range.thatmdee wrote:I'm wanting to buy a jersey from Rapha while the sale is on for when it warms up here in Newcastle. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a particular jersey for the warmer weather? I'm looking at either one of the flyweight jerseys, or the pro team aero jersey.

Yep its about a 58cm ETT. Even came with a 120mm stem which I needed to change out for a shorter one!oh_lol wrote:

Happy to take any more measurements, however the geometry is pretty close to the current road sport too.
