Happy New Year 2011

One One Scandale 29er + Road bike wheelset = Street Machine

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

# Flatlock seams
# 9'' center front zip with locking pull
