I really like the fit of these shoes. I did replace the OEM sock liner with a molded insole and that works much better with my 60 year-old feet. Other than that, a great fit. I think, however, the BOA flip-up tabs could be better replaced with simple pop-up dials like other brands. The lower BOA adjustment gets in the way of my toe caps this spring, so less off the foot ends up covered. Haven't ridden anything north of 80km here in the Northeast US this season. It's been a bit too brisk and windy and rainy to confidently get out on a nice day. Soon...
The Giordana Men's FR-C Pro Bib Short has become one of my go-to bibs for harder training rides and long days in the saddle. The compression feels supportive without being restrictive, and the fit really does disappear once you're riding. The Cirro S chamois is outstanding for endurance rides'comfortable, breathable, and still supportive deep into the ride. I also love how stable the leg grippers feel without digging in. Premium Italian craftsmanship throughout, and it definitely feels built for riders who spend serious time on the bike.
The Assos Mille GTS S11 bib shorts are built for long-distance comfort, and they deliver. The fit strikes a great balance between supportive and non-restrictive, making them ideal for endurance rides. The padding is excellent'plush where it matters without feeling bulky'and stays comfortable even after hours in the saddle. The straps and fabric feel premium, with solid breathability and durability. Pricey, but if you're logging serious miles, they're absolutely worth it.
Stays put once installed. I don't detach it to charge it. I assume if you always take it off the helmet to charge it the clips will get worn out. It's a great addition a bike mounted tail light. It's bright enough to grab the attention of others.
