I love this jacket, it sheds water like a greased duck and it vents well. The stretch cuffs are a little weird, but easily removable. It fits amazing on the bike, the front is short enough to not bunch and the tail keeps my whole butt covered. The hoods fits around a helmet and is super adjustable. I'm 6ft and 200lbs and the large is big enough to wear a thin layer underneath. This jacket is possibly the best rain jacket I've ever worn.

These have become my favorite brakes. They slow my 200 lbs down quick, they don't have heat issues, they're pretty light and stupid easy to work on. IMHO these are the easiest brakes to bleed. I can adjust these in a third the time it takes to get an avid elixer to stop rubbing.

I dig these shoes a lot, but I don't like the puffy looking skate style shoes. Does the tongue really need to be that thick? They stick to pedals like super glue, and don't look goofy hitting the bars afterward. I wouldn't wear them mountain biking, but they rule street and dirt jump sessions.

I've had 2 pairs and on each I knocked the outer body into a rock and it bent the cage and spindle, making it very hard to unclip and impossible to clip back in. I went to Time Z pedals and won't buy these again. There are better options if you want a large platform and clipless ability.

The greatest pedal ever. Light, strong, serviceable and adjustable. I do not condone riding muddy trails, but if you're going to, these will clear mud like you wouldn't believe. Fantastic for cross, commuting or mountain biking. Time pedals have replaced all of my shimano spd and crank bros pedals. I have ATACs on my XC and FS trail bike, and the cheaper Alums on my commuter. I broke a Time Alum by smashing it really hard into a rock a couple of times over a couple of years, and Time sent me a brand new pedal. I love them.

Let me be clear in saying I don't wear these if I'm going to seriously hit the trails. They're perfect for the ride to work/school/bar, great for a quick trail hit afterwards, jim-dandy a for session at the jumps/pump track, and I love 'em for daily wearing. They fit me great, a little baggier than the humvee or singletrack. They're made of nylon but it's been brushed really heavy so it feels like light canvas. I don't carry a lot in my pockets, so the lack of belt loops doesn't bother me, and the adjustable tabs hold them up just fine.
I normally wear 35-36 inch pants and the large fits great.

The replaceable plates sound like a good idea, until they decide to replace themselves in the middle of a trail. The bearings are horrible and horrible to try and overhaul if you don't strip the spindle in the first place. Over a decade in shops and these are in top of the worst pedals I've ever seen. Go buy some Atomlabs or DMRs instead.

I like this jacket, but don't really. The fit isn't bad, but will emphasize the gut. The pockets are roomy, but you can't comfortably put your hands in them. The butt coverage is great, but the front is too long. It's warm, but not super breathable. The tag is gigantic and will stick out of the collar at any chance. It's fantastically weather proof. I've worn it for snowshoeing and skiing too. The knit sleeve cuff is weirdly large. With all the whining about the jacket, as soon as it's snowing, it's on my back, and it makes winter bike commuting much more comfortable.
And no, it doesn't have underarm zips or a removable hood.

mad steeze and wicked warm for a hoody, wish i had bought two.
plus, I love supporting my hometown boys

It looks pretty good, though has been referred to as my Micheal Jackson Jacket. Not as wind resistant as my Marmot soft shell, but fits a ton better on the bike. I got it on chainlove so the price was amazing. The hood is great and fits well. Wore it with a wool jersey underneath at 15F and was plenty warm. The lack of pit zips is disappointing, and the sleeve extensions were sewn a little off so the sleeve twists with my thumbs in the thumb holes.
