Don't commute in Assos?
It's too expensive to do that in! I moved down a couple of steps (or bought it all in end of season clearance sales. So half price or less.)

You're not supposed to spin them too much.
+1 on this and my cycle kit room is in the basement. When I hang my tights and bib shorts to dry I always turn the shorts inside out so the chamois is exposed and with the tights I will fold the shoulder straps down and position the hanger right at the chamois to expose it as much as possible to enable quicker drying time. Always good to go the next day.
DHB bibs, and charity ride / grand fondo jerseys. Tumble drying both, NO problem. These are usually indestructible, and if destroyed, don't care. I've commuted like 7 years, rotating a few DHB bibs and still alive, no problem. Amazinggggg value.
Why would manufacturers try to scam you into not using a dryer?madik wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 10:22 amBought a dryer year ago and I do use it on almost everything. Cant see any major negative effects so far (.. ok some reflective glued stickers on castelli leg warmers are pealing off). Only things that I dont put into dryer are garmin heart rate strap, castelli superleggera windprpoof jacket, cycling caps (plastic in the shield is too sensitive to high temperatures and bends). I also try to not put into dryer membrane jackets (too expensive to risk it).
But everything else I put into dryer and dont care. And summer cycling kits are just fine.
"Do not tumble dry" label is a manufacturer's scam I believe and incompetence. I would maybe pay a little extra for a high quality garments that are designed, tested and labeled for use in dryer but as it appers, manufacturers just put "Do not tumble dry" as a default on everything without any thoughts. Dryer is great for making my life easier (living in a small appartment) as I dont have to hang everything in a balcony (uggh..) or on a dryer in my room in a winter months..
Yep. The only thing that I own that is made of wool is a poncho!
