@GregHoge
thanks for all the work setting this up.

What are the differences with all the bib shorts, not in the range (tech, performance, apex), but the details? I'm looking at the Tech model, and they seem a bit different depending on which box I check.

Has anybody ordered the aero socks? Any good?

Feb 08, 2024 at 04:48 PM

@mugwump Good catch. I thought I had gotten rid of all the old proofs, but I guess not. There should only be 2 bib shorts proofs: the regular ranges and the premium ranges.

@Mark Taylor I have a set. They're OK. They do fall down pretty easily, so maybe size down. For some reason this seems to be an issue with a lot of aero socks from what I've heard.

This store link isn’t working for me but the one I got via email is.

@DavidVibert Which link?

It appears $15 is a flat rate for shipping orders less than $200. Over, it appears they include the shipping in the price.

Does anyone want to split an order with me? Just looking for a pair of Tech shorts.

@GregHoge @Mark Taylor

Aero socks have a problem in that many of the socks use a fabric that isn't compressive. As a result, there's some kind of silicon tape or gripper embedded at the top. Allegedly, many racers have hairspray sprayed on their legs before the put on the socks to hold the socks in place.

When I was racing the state championship points race last year, the dude with all the aero edges (visor helmet, aero frame, rear disc, front deep dish, aero accessorized skinsuit, aero gloves, aero socks) had his socks start to fall down, and we were only doing a 15km race or less.

It's also why there's a place for knitted aero socks, which Specialized and Silca had been doing.

I didn't order any in the end

My order has been out with FedEx for the past week. They want a signature for delivery but missed me at home twice. Now according to the website the package is brought to Lincoln, NE and will be delivered to my house today, which I find hard to believe. Previous times it was just delivered to a FedEx point near my house, anyone else having this problem this time? They won’t let me change the delivery location or anything

What at PITA.

No, that did not happen for me.

By now, they said they’ve delivered but confirmed on the phone that this has indeed not happened. Let’s see what happens now..

It turns out that the package was rerouted to the Champ Sys HQ in Lincoln NE after a few failed delivery attempts. Props to Fedex costumer service by the way, I called them on Friday reporting this issue and they just called me back to figure everything out. They had even already called the driver who had delivered the package - in Lincoln. I've emailed Champ Sys just now to see whether they indeed have it and when I'll receive it here.

Any plans for a new kit order/run soon?

Funny you should ask. I'm planning to open it up in the next week or so. Watch this space.

For jackets, how is the sizing? I wear a size S in the short sleeve jersey, but was thinking of going to an M for any long sleeve jersey since i'm a little taller.

my suggestion is not to size up —

Oct 17, 2024 at 09:48 PM

Agreed unless you are working on a very nuanced layering system same size jacket as jerseys. Next group ride we're on you can try out my size small outer layer.
