    Anyone know what the sizing is like?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭johnk123


    Tempted myself, but I'm seeing that it's four items for 135 plus 10 shipping.. Jacket, Jersey, Bib shorts and Bib tights??

    Considering I need new bib tights anyway.... Sizing anyone?

    This was my first order from Rose, tubes and tyres. Total order was about 100 yo-yos.
    Great prices and good delivery time.

    The pad on the vermarcsport shorts and bibs would not be for long distance according to the spec. Something to keep in mind.

    Parcel Motel is a third-party service. You use their delivery address in Norn Irn; they forward here, for a modest fee.

    Just a word of caution of using PX and Parcel Motel.
    Any time I have used them together PX ALWAYS omit your pm id which is essential.
    Last packet got through but on one occasion it took the staff 2 days to locate my parcel due to there being no id on there.
    Doesnt matter that I have left an email with them about it ,it still happens!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    Just add your PM number before your name in the name field? Happened to me once or twice with other shops.

    If find there is plenty of volume to them. Not that it's a wide shoe, I had to buy insoles to fill the space and get a snug fit

    It says maximum load 70kg I gather 100kg load between the 2 of these if fine?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,520 ✭✭✭Alek


    This is per tyre, so 100kg will be fine.

    If you weight >110kg together with the bike, I'd recommend at least 25mm tyres though.
