Been a while since I last updated here.
A little brief sharing on a Peloton de Paris Light weight Merino Wool Jersey.

Usually, we hear the word "wool" , it translate to "hot", "not suitable for our (Malaysia) weather" ..

here is the exact word I feedbacked to

Quote:
It’s good and it different from other polyester kind of jersey… it feel flimsy when holding it, but it fits really well and nice on body… doesn’t feel the jersey … so light.

The concern was the wool, but it’s no issue with me riding into afternoon about 2pm… maybe 33-35 degC … the regulate body temp well too

Feel very relax kind of jersey, not everything must be serious ans snug and ready to race …

- Punctured - after ~ 300km from new.
Picking up from the last post.
I changed out to a Vittoria Corsa control Graphene 2.0 700X25 tyres from a worn out Good year.
Wishing to give it another go since my last experience with Vittoria corsa was years back when they 1st launched, it was only "graphene 1.0" then... punctured on the very 1st ride ....

Why i particular about puncture, cause any ride would be greatly disturb when such unfortunate happened, and i fully aware luck play a part too.

but I have a little observance and theory on this particular tyres, it has a vertical groove along the tyres, and i believe such groove give chance of small debris to "stuck" in there and slowly work it way into the tyre and eventually punctured it.

So far this is the only drawback on this newly vittoria corsa control 2.0 i have on my bike now. other then that, this is really a good pair of rubber, it rolls smoothly, absorbing the road buzz well, giving much confident on ride especially over less then ideal kind of road surface which i usually ride on.

Cushy, comfy, ... fast or not, I'm not sure lah... I'm just weekend rider, not in any form of competition at this point of time. :)

Peace out ! have fun riding and see you on the road..

Changing out worn out, cracked, torn good year Eagle F1 supersport to a pair of Vittoria Corsa Control Graphene 2.0

Vittoria hasn't been treating me well as far as my last affair with her. Supposed punctured resistance and durable with the Graphene contained... But they last time i have a Corsa installed was a Corsa speed and it was still 1.0.

So I'm giving it another try this round. Let's see how it fair with me this time round. All the best 😬😬
