Will there be another order before weather turns cooler for CX season?
Aug 01, 2019 at 04:31 PM
There will be one or two more orders this year depending on demand. I am likely to open an order in early September which would allow you to get cold weather kit in mid October

That's good to know, yeah I didn't want to order colder weather gear in July, but definitely would be on board for early September.

I just learned that Chris Young, or contact at Champion System has left the company. Our new contact for warranty and other questions is Ben Woodbury at benw@champ-sys.com

you probably know, but worth mention that Ben is an old friend, he used to live in Brooklyn and rode/raced for BVF

Thanks a ton for opening this!
@eloy any recommendations for keeping the white jerseys "look sharp" after CX mudfest races? Even from the limited gravel riding I've been doing, it's looking off-white

@brian I find that it helpful not to let the mud dry on my kit. So I will run it under a faucet after I change or get it into the wash sooner rather than later. This helps the stains from setting in
Aug 19, 2019 at 07:34 PM
@BrianStan As soon as I get home from any ride, I immediately rinse my kit in the sink. Soak it, squeeze it out, repeat a few times. Then I spray anything that looks like it might stain with OxyClean or a similar stain remover and toss it in the wash. Seems to help keep the whites looking white.

Profligate use of Shout
Aug 19, 2019 at 08:23 PM
If we had bright orange jerseys and shorts they wouldn't stain nearly as much. I am just saying
Aug 19, 2019 at 08:26 PM
i am the wrong person to ask
Aug 19, 2019 at 09:25 PM
I see nothing wrong in that photo. A white jersey just means you didn't ride hard enough.

I find that skin suits seem to result in less mud/dirt/whatever remaining after washing. But that does include not letting the wet skin suit dry out before washing.
For CX races, I have a wet bag that all my dirty gear goes in. It stays damp because the bag is sealed. When I get home, I immediately do a light wash of everything (soapy soak in sink or bucket). and air dry before doing a regular machine wash (spandex goes in sweater bags)
I'm also a Shout fan.
Below is our previous iteration skin suit. It came out looking perfect

Thanks all, helpful for sure!
I need to be more careful about washing right after use (no washer in building). I've been trying to research what to do about dirt stains that have set in - there seem to be a number of options like using baking soda, vinegar, lemons?

I’ve used baking soda with some success. After Rainey Park a few years ago, I put these white knickers in a bin with hot water and a bunch of baking soda and kind of agitated it a bit by hand. I think it helped keep them white but they were already well worn after a long season.
That said, I’m thankful our shorts are not white.

Solid - good to know, thanks!
I'm stoked to say that after a few really tough months, things are finally back on track - won't be moving home with my folks after all. Excited for CX to begin.
