And Veloflex Master tyres

Would be interested to hear how you got on with the tires, I put some onto some Fulcrum 40 carbons and ripped a gash right through the side of the tyrewall. Maybe I did something wrong?

You were maybe just unlucky. I've used these for years - racing, training, winter riding, cobbles - and can only say they are sublime. Bit hard to mount initially but faultless apart from that.

Assos S5 Mille are on sale at Excel Sports! Must be leftovers, right?! Woot Woot

Bought a couple earlier today and rec'd an order confirmation reply! Plus they still show in-stock.

Not sure, but I think they've pictured the F.13 but are calling it the Mille. Either way, I'm a happy boy today.

Nice piece of kit :thumbup:
how is it for ease of use and from where did you source the adapter to connect the tube to the head ?


Much quicker than threaded on head. The one on the picture, it is Lezyne pump with their head. You just simply thread it into head's schrader end.
Got it from r2bike, with delivery still £20 cheaper than in UK.

Best trainer ever ! Been using it for 16 months now and loving it. Most of the time with Zwift, excellent combination

Awesome saddles, got one on both my bikes. Hopefully you'll like it.
Unfortunately I've been waiting since the beginning of December for my Berk goodies. Two parcels lost in the post. :(

Yes I have a padded leather version that's awesome. This lupina matches my RxR so much better than the outgoing AxLightness

I've never owned Assos bib shorts but these prices appear to be a good deal for Assos. What's the difference between the following shorts at Excel? And which one would you recommend?

Assos Fi.Uno_s5 Logo Bib Shorts $118
Assos T Fi.Mille_s5 Bib Shorts $138
Assos T.milleShorts_s7 Bib Shorts $159

Assos are the only cloths i wear, they are very well made and comfortable. You wont be disappointed with either you choose. The s5 are older models.
I wear the neopro s7, Fi.Uno s5 and just bought T. Cento S7. $275 delivered from UK to OZ, here they are $450. Great deal.
Each Bib shorts will have its own cut, ie the NeoPro are regular all round fit and the T.Cento are high performance long distance shorts. The Fi.Uno says training and racing short.
Its always worth going on the offical Assos website can always get great deals on there.
