Excellent specialized cleanser for high-end cycling gear. I've been using two capfuls per load for my Assos bibs and other cycling gear and the results are consistently great. It rinses perfectly clean, leaves no residue, and has a very pleasant, understated fragrance. While it's more expensive than standard detergent, a little goes a long way, making it a sustainable choice for long-term gear care. I'm very pleased with the results and will be buying more.

What the heck do I know...it appears to wash all my cycling gear well and most importantly not leave any weird residue behind. Is it required or super amazing? Doubt it but it does the job. I have too many "specialty" gear washes though and that trend is getting a bit old. I will say I decided to try this out because I was getting odd residue left behind by some other detergents on some of my cycling stuff (often my assos wind jackets) and I did not like rewashing or riding around with weird white splotches so I gave this stuff a try. Seems to work perfectly. No oder, no residue. A good value? meh but what in cycling is I suppose.

The Wahoo fitness Kickr Core V2 is the best smart trainer I've tried among the budget conscious range of smart trainers. The direct drive has a better feel and less worry about wearing out you rear tire than the wheel-on trainers. The Zwift direct drive further reduces wear and tear on a cassette and your rear derailleur. It does feel a little weird using the + and - controls for e-shifting but after I got used to it, it became much more intuitive. There is a seamless feel and it lets you maintain momentum which is especially useful if you are doing Zwift racing events because you can carry your power on the downhill sections to make up time. I'm happy to have an indoor cycling experience that does a pretty good job of replacing outdoor riding when the weather is bad or if I don't want to share the road with cars.

This is my go-to chamois cream. I used to use stuff like diaper rash cream, but it was clogging my chamois up and ruining it, so I had switched to the Assos stuff. It works well, and always washes out.
I would say it doesn't last the entirety of a long ride (over 4 hours), and not in the hottest of hot weather, but I don't think anything does honestly.
And it seems expensive. I guess you have to pay somehow, otherwise you get cheap diaper rash cream, but wreck your shorts. Pick your evil.
