Errr... no, I don't swim or run. In the UK time trials are run by the CTT which are governed by its own set of rules.

pair of Bontrager R4 320 tires.
Couple rides in and they are definitely a nice riding, supple clincher tire. Using with Vredestein latex tubes and the ride is almost as nice as Veloflex, but not quite. both were 230g.

Giro Chrono Pro jersey and bibs.
Jersey wears similar to Rapha Pro Aero jersey, but not quite as fitted. Pockets are a little bigger (plus for me as I carry lots of stuff on longer rides). I don't have climber's arms, but the sleeves could be more tapered. Collar is tapered in toward the zipper and similar to some skinsuits which is nice as the ends of the collar don't poke/brush against your neck when turning your head. Main jersey material is thin and there is super thin material under arms and sides, so this is definitely a warm weather jersey or to be used with layers if colder. The bibs might be the nicest I've ever worn. Better than all other brands I've tried (all of which were upper end models) Bontrager, Capo, Castelli, Sportful, Voler. Shoulder straps are very light and don't pull down/up on you, shorts stay in place, chamois that you forget is there, decent but not too much compression. I'm going to try to do some bigger rides in the next couple weeks and considering stocking up on at least one or two more pairs if they are as good as I think they are.

Vittoria Crono CS 22 mm tire, replacing an older one which wore out and punctured: 189 grams (scale shot to follow). I love these tires. They just don't last longer than a year of hill climbs (but if they did last they'd be too heavy).

Anyway, Vittoria no longer makes them, I think.
