For winter time I need a road bike.
On One 29er + road bike wheelset (build up with MTB disc hubs and Dodici rims).

Great weight, super fast rollin´ ! It´s a perfect winter time road bike!

Mavic Alpine XL shoes, Testride under zero degrees

Today temperature:  -1°C
Time: 1.5h
I tested the combination Merino socks and the Mavic Alpine XL shoes. Usally my feets start to be cold after some minutes. But today the feets felt never frozen!
Thanks to a friend for this link: Sealskins Merino Socks

Conclusion: I lost not a single toe!

Ibex Woolies Zip Base layer (Merion Wool)

Yesterday I tested the new Ibex Woolies Zip T-Neck Base layer.
Base layers aren't always the easiest thing to find. At this time I want something with Merion Wool, no more synthetics so close to my body.
Usally it´s the passform which isn´t perfect (to wide sleeves, too narrow at the shoulders,...)
With the Ibex I found my perfect passform!

# 18.5 micron New Zealand Merino lightweight rib: 150 g/m2
# Form-fit
# Flatlock seams
# 9'' center front zip with locking pull
# NO STINKY  :-)

Thanks for very fast shipping to ALWAYSRIDING SHOP

Testride with TIME iCLIC pedals

wow, after the weigh (187g a pair) and assemble all stuff I expected to press the shoes with all power the new pedals.

surprise surprise!
The iCLIC system is so much smooth. Put your shoe on the pedal and it knows what to do. My first impression, it clicks in by itself. The shoes are faster in the pedal as I could press.

If you are a skier... it´s like that :)
