Anyone bought from pushys in the past week? Are they slower shipping orders out than usual or is it business as normal?
I’m finding that to be the case generally. Pushys, Wiggle and others. It’s all at snail pace right now.
Well ordering from overseas will see delivery delays for sure given that international flights have been cut by 95%. I ordered from Wiggle on March 23 and the parcel left the UK on March 25, however, I didn't receive it until April 8. All the delay was the flight from Asia to Sydney.

11-speed Shimano e-bike chain for $39.95
Are e-bike chains more durable and worth the extra premium?

Race-fit. Not loose.
Castelli = Italian sizing.
Always get a size bigger

No experience with these, but could be an alternative to the aldi versions since for anyone that missed out?

Ditto.
Have thought about getting another as 'backup' and for winter commuting purposes.

Well my flightjacket came via DHL today, only took a few days from China.
But its a whole lot smaller than my windjacket!!!
Almost makes it look kids glasses in comparison. I bought the windjacket to keep my contacts from drying up however they don't have lowlight/transition lens for winter night use.
Not sure if I'll keep the flightjacket now. Will have to take it on a test ride later.
cant get the pic to work so here's the link

Yeah, I remember reading reviews for the Flight Jacket saying it didn't look good on small heads because they're so large, but in practice they're pretty much the same as the Jawbreaker, possibly smaller.
I got them because I like the Jawbreaker shape but they're starting to look a little dated, and I wanted something newer with a rimless top so I could see a bit further up the road on the TT bike. Basically every other Oakley obstructs vision.
Windjackets by comparison are huge.

Just did a 2hr ride.
Flightjacket offer about the same wind resistance as the jawbreakers, which is a shame because I got rid of the jawbreakers thinking these would offer better wind resistance. Visibility is superb as one would imagine.
However if you're after true wind protection, nothing short of wearing goggles would beat the windjacket i think (haven't tried other brands). Just wished they did a lowlight lens...
