The new design of the Elite Custom Race streamlines the bottle to improve bottle insertion and removal.
Overall rating
Very light weight plastic bottle cage
Posted8 April 2018
"This looks good and is great value. It's extremely light. I've tried a range of bottles out on it and they all fit well. Have used these cages on various bikes for several years with no issues at all."
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight, Rugged

Ultra lightweight, super soft, super comfortable short sleeve tee Featuring 37.5 technology.
Overall rating
Great value light-weight t-shirt
Posted28 May 2017
"Ideal for training on warm and humid days. Sizing is a bit on the small side. I'm tall and skinny and medium comes up a little short on me, but for this price I don't really care. Love the colour."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Great Value, Lightweight
Cons: not a great fit but not exactly a poor fit either

Castelli Squadra Long Water Resistant Jacket
A lightweight packable shell, ideal for stuffing in your pocket in case of rain on those showery days, the Squadra keeps the worst of the rain and wind off, while still being small enough to pack into your back pocket or saddle bag.
Overall rating
Brilliant light weight shower jacket
Posted9 April 2017
"Light, breathable and not a bad price. Can't complain at all."

Token TK9741-2 Aero Clip On Bars and Pads
Clip on aero bars and sponge pads.
Overall rating
Bargain, super light tri bars
Posted26 December 2016
"Got these as I wanted a cheap pair that I could try out for a season to see how I got in. The improvement in my speed and performance in triathlon was immediate and substantial. I though they'd feel a lot heavier given how cheap they are, but you only ever feel the weight on a climb. If you're planning a flat fast tri, I wouldn't bother with anything other than these. Easy to fit and adjust. Perhaps could be slightly longer."
Pros: Adjustable, Comfortable, Great Value, Lightweight

Zoot Z Force 1.0 Wetsuit
The Zoot Z Force 1.0 Wetsuit is Zoot's entry level wetsuit, but it's still packed with technology and features designed and combined to keep you warm, comfortable and buoyant, without compromising on flexibility or power.
Overall rating
Great inexpensive wetsuit
Posted27 August 2016
"I got this to replace the entry-level wet suit I've been using for OW swimming for 4-5 years. This was an immediate improvement - greater flexibility for arm rotation and the buoyancy is excellent. Still adjusting when it comes to removing it in transition - it's a bit of a struggle to get it over teh ankles, but I suspect it's just a question of practice."
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, High Quality

GripGrab EasyRider Short Finger Gloves
The EasyRider gloves feature a durable suede palm and supple mesh back, an excellent choice for road riding and mountain-biking. The 4mm DoctorGel padding helps prevent fatigue and numbness of the hands when hitting your favourite roads and trails.
Overall rating
Great cushioning ideal for long rides
Posted19 June 2016
"Excellent level of cushioning. These make long rides much more comfortable on the wrists and palms. The magnets are a great idea - no more faffing around looking for the stray glove in the drawer."

Form fitting socks designed to keep your toes warm when swimming in chilly waters and also help prevent injury to the bottom of your feet when walking or running on rocky surfaces. They come in handy on long transition runs too!
Overall rating
Ideal for early spring open water swimming
Posted2 May 2016
"These won't stop your toes from freezing in the coldest water, but they certainly delay the onset for a good 30 mins. Also very useful on rocky surfaces - surprising robust. I do find they get a little flappy in the toes after a while, though, but am otherwise very happy with them."
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Rugged

GripGrab RaceAqua White Overshoes
A lightweight, waterproof and aerodynamic shoe cover that protects against wind and rain. The waterproof stretch fabric gives a tight fit and the rear zipper makes it easy to pull over the shoe.
Overall rating
Effective, but not particularly robust
Posted13 February 2016
wheezyboy
"Keeps the wind and the rain out very nicely, but really only suited to racing or uninterrupted rides and not for the constant stop-start of your average commute. Mine developed a hole pretty quickly in the toe cap from stopping at lights and having to unclip from pedals and put my foot down."
Pros: Attractive, Lightweight
Cons: Wears Out Easily

Good value everyday shorts.

"Pleasantly surprised by how comfortable these are. I've worn them on 50 mile rides with no problem. I'm not sure they'd cope with anything much longer, though, but they are perfectly good for day-to-day riding. Sizing is correct and they look smart too."

Sportful Reflex Vest
The Reflex II Gilet is designed for maximum visibility with large reflective logos that wrap around from front to back - giving other road users no excuses for not seeing you. Perfect for added visibility and protection to your core on chilly rides.
Overall rating
Keeps the chill off first thing
Posted14 August 2015
wheezyboy
"Light weight and snug fit without being too tight helps to maintain performance. Fits easily into a back pocket when you don't need it any more and will also handle light showers pretty well. Quite resilient too - survived a tumble on its first outing completely unscathed when my jersey and shorts were shredded. Only slight issue is accessing anything you've stored in you jersey rear pockets underneath. As other reviewers of Sportful products advise, always go a size larger than normal."

A thick moisturising solution for comfort and reduced friction on endurance road rides. Apply to your seatpad on shorter rides or apply to both your skin and seatpad on epic sportives and stage races.
Any good for preventing nipple rash?!
Top 1000 Contributor
I've used it against jogger's nipple on short distances in the heat and it's worked really well. Not tested it on a long run. It won't damage the fabric of your top.

Is the Fantasy Pink clour really pink, or is it red?
On the picture it looks red?
I just need a cheap swimming cap with a bright colour, for open water swimming.

dhb Vaeon Padded Waist Tights
Cool weather padded waist tight suited to Autumn training rides. (dhb Vaeon - previously dhb PACE)
small waist, long legs - which size?
I'm 6' 1" with a 32" waist and 33" inside leg. Will a size Medium be long enough?
Top 1000 Contributor
Yes, I'm the same size of you except my waist is 32". The leg size is ideal. But I found the waist too big and these tend to sag unattractively when I'm off the bike.
