Thanks, Jason! Happy you found the review helpful! The watch is Garmin Forerunner 935. Probably a bit outdated version, as I have had it for a few years now.

Hey, yes! It depends on the clothing I am wearing and the temperature outside. If it gets too warm, I fully unzip the jacket to cool down or completely take it off, fold and shove it in my jersey's back pocket. Hope this helps.

Hi, no, this did not happen. Don't see any signs of oxidation or corrosion after 2 years of use. Can't speak of anything beyond 2 years, but it does not look like oxidation or corrosion will be an issue. Hope this helps!

Hi there, I am 139lb, and size S is perfect for me. I think in your case M would be best, but I would recommend checking out the size guide here www.gorewear.com/us/en-us/c5-jersey-100164. Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for pointing this out. 100% agree! This is being called out in the full review here bikedriven.com/clothing/c5-gore-tex-shakedry-viz-jacket-review/ "The fabric, which features GORE® SHAKEDRY™ technology, doesn’t let any water or wind pass through. At the same time, this jacket is breathable, so the sweat and heat can escape when you are pushing hard."

I recently purchased a shake dry jacket made by Sitka. I haven't tested mine out yet. I will be using it for 3 season backpacking. Its great to hear that it breaths. Im a bit worried having a jacket with no pit zips for hot weather. fingers crossed it works out!

@@woodyshepherd6904 this is not a material that can be used with a backpack. You'll ruin it, It'll leak & you'll be unhappy.

Hi, you are welcome! I never actually calculated the total run time on the eco flash mode, but when using it for 30 mins 5 days a week and then 3 hours during the weekend, I end up charging it once a month or so. Hope this helps.

I am using this light for over 2 years now and have no issues with the USB connector. It is actually very sturdy. Unless you will be somehow applying pressure to it, you should be okay. Hope this helps!

@@bikedriven no problems with weather conditions or oxydation of the usb part ?

@@WARDISWARD No, the light is very good quality. Also, the battery is great. On saving mode, I charge it only every few weeks, sometimes even once a month (if I don't ride as much).

@@bikedriven Same as my question. Does it oxydized?

Hi, thanks for letting me know and for the comment! Be safe out there.

Hey Michael, Unfortunately, no. You might be able to come up with a custom solution for your helmet, but most likely you will not be able to make it work. This light is made for seat posts only. Hope this helps :)

Depends on the helmet... With S-Works Prevail II it works perfect

hey, this is the main lens used for these glasses www.oakley.com/en-us/lens-guide/prizm-road/ (road prizm). It is not polarized. And this is a replacement clear lens I have in the video www.oakley.com/en-ie/product/W0OO9208R?variant=888392126702 Also not polarized. Hope this helps :)

Thanks for your comment and feedback! Totally agree that shorts are super personal. If you don't mind me asking, which Giordana shorts are you wearing? Would love to add Giordana to some future reviews.Thanks.

@@bikedriven Giordana Silverline bib shorts. I love everything about the fit. I’m not sure about their long term durability yet. I have used them for about 30 rides or so and so far so good. I have heard about some issues with durability though. Other than those I am using several pairs of Pearl Izumi shorts and those have held up. I recently tried their Pro shorts from last year and they were awful. Huge waist and really short in the back area.

​@@vettepwr23 Thanks for the insights! Giordana bib shorts look great and I haven't tried them yet. Definitely will try to include them in one of the reviews for this year. Thanks again and hope you are enjoying cycling season so far :)

Thanks so much for the good catch! Corrected now. Have a great time of the day! 😊

Hey Michał, thanks for the comment. The GTS is a newer model with a bit more padding and higher quality fabric. I haven't tried them on yet but have seen some comments online that the newer version is amazing (more expensive though). Hope this helps! :)

Hey José, I think in your case XS would be best. However, I would recommend checking the size guide before you buy and making sure your waist measurement matches the XS as well. Hope this helps! Thanks for checking out the video :)

Hey Tommy, I don't have an aero seat post to confirm 100%, but my impression is that you will struggle with attaching this light. I would suggest checking out this one instead - ride.lezyne.com/products/strip-drive-pro Hope it helps and thanks for the comment!

@@bikedriven thanks for the reply bro ,, appreciate it ,, will check out the Lezyne rear light as per ur suggestion:)

@@tommychew7516, of course, no prob at all. Thanks for watching the video and be safe out there. Cheers! :)

hi, do they sit well on you head even with a lot of sweat ?

@@jocelyn3390 Absolutely. Best glasses i ever had. Does not move an inch even even if poor water on it. Sits tight, very comfortable, color of the eyeglasses is very nice and does not overpower and hurt your eyes. Now using it for few weeks i would recomend 100 percent. A bit expensive ofc, but worth every penny.

Hei Neil, Actually, no. They thought about it, and the clipping system's angle accounts for the angle of a seat post. I did not experience any problems and you shouldn't too. Hope it helps :)

Hi, they are mirrored, yes, can't see the eyes.

@@bikedriven Cheers

Hi, check out the full review here with pictures bikedriven.com/clothing/c5-gore-tex-shakedry-viz-jacket-review/ The images are better there. Hope it helps and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, yes that should be no problem if you are talking about tires for a road bike (not MTB as those can be quite large). Hope this helps!

Hey, Aldama Carbon will be slightly lighter, more stylish (in my opinion) and should be a bit more comfortable. With RC5 you will save a bit, so depends on your budget as well. Overall, the differences are not very substantial, but you should be better off with Spiuk Aldama in my opinion. Hope this help!

Hey, this is rough one actually. Both a great glasses and it really comes down to personal preferences. The Radar EV should be a few grams lighter and they fit better those with narrower faces (in my opinion). Jawbreaker has a wider lense and should give you better visibility in aero position. Ideally get 2 pairs, try them on and then send one back. That's what I do when can't choose one over the other. Hope it helps.

@@bikedriven hey man, thanks for the suggestions. Based on your video and online opinions I ended up buying the radar ev path which I prefer since they are smaller and they fitted better in the sense the glasses (radar) were stuck to my face whereas the jawbreakers were a bot loose on my face. All said thanks again for the help :)

Happy to help! With the spring around the corner, I hope you will put them to good use. Cheers and stay safe on the roads :)

@@bikedriven thanks you too!

I tried both in the store before buying it. Its just about the same in terms of glasses, but this one is for sure sexier imo and more comfortable.

Good question! The jacket itself is very thin and the temperature range depends on what you wear underneath. For example, a summer short-sleeve jersey and the jacket on top should be okay on most spring & fall days. In winter it is better to put a long-sleeve jersey on. If the jersey is very warm then you can go into freezing temperatures with the jacket on top. Check out the "How do I use C5 Gore-tex Shakedry Viz Jacket?" in the in-depth review -> bikedriven.com/clothing/c5-gore-tex-shakedry-viz-jacket-review/ Hope it helps!

Hi, please head over to bikedriven.com/clothing/spiuk-aldama-carbon-boa-shoes-review/ to see specifications and full review. I normally wear size 42 / 9 US, but these shoes are 43 / 9.5 US. In summer, I would say they are half a size too big for me, but in winter the extra space is filled by thicker socks. Overall, don't have issues with the size. Hope it helps and more details in the review. Cheers.

@@bikedriven what is the length of your feet in millimeters?

Yes, they are. I would suggest sticking to the official sizing guidelines. If you are in-between sizes then go for a larger one to accommodate thicker socks in winter. Hope that helps and Happy New Year!

Hi, you are more than welcome. Happy to hear that you found the review useful. Keep well & cheers.

Both are great actually! Northwave Storm comes in more sizes (42.5, 43.5, etc.) so it might be slightly better in terms of finding the perfect fit.

Hi, no problem at all. Let me know if you have any questions. Will try to help as much as I can.

You are very welcome and have a great time of the day! :)

Hi, this will depend on the mode you are using. For example, the battery lasts 2.5 hours on the highest output mode (I almost never use it) and up to 60 hours on an eco-friendly one (this is my go-to choice for night & winter riding). Hope it helps!

Hi, I am really sorry to hear this. I was lucky so far by not having a similar issue. Btw, did you settle on a new saddle bag with a buckle clipping mechanism? If yes, which one? Thanks and stay well.

Hi, thanks for the feedback and totally agree with it. This is something I am working on right now - getting new filming equipment to drastically improve the quality of my reviews and show the products in action. For other reviews, I do have additional articles on bikedriven.com & this one is more of an outlier. In any case, hopefully in early 2022, the quality of the videos will drastically improve. Thanks again for the feedback & be stay safe.

Hi David, I think you are totally right! Thanks for pointing this out. Will give it a go on my next ride and will comment back. Thanks, Borys

Hi David, I tried packing the jacket into its back pocket. It requires a lot of effort and you really need to jam the fabric to a "dangerous" level . I did not even managed to do it since the pocket is so small. Not sure now if it is actually meant for that purposes. Will continue packing the jacket into jersey's pocket as before. Hope it helps!

No problem at all and thanks for the kind and encouraging comment! 🙏

Hi Simon, 63kg / 139lbs & 180cm / 5.9ft. Hope this helps and have a good time of the day.

Hi, thanks for the comment. I don't see any issues with scratches, to be honest, and super happy with durability. I think they will easily last a few more years for me. One thing is that I need to be more careful when switching the lenses. Already damaged mine a bit in the place where it clips to the frame. Nothing serious, but something to be aware of.

Hi ze, these are the basic mile gt shorts.

Thanks for the feedback! :) On the brightest mode, it is about 90 minutes (+/- a few mins). Hope this helps.

@@bikedriven I am planning for night ride. Which light will you suggest with long battery backup?

​@@drbhushansali I don't think I ever used a light that can last for more than 4-5 hours on a bright mode. Maybe check out Lezyne Macro Drive 1300XL, but it will not be the cheapest one. It is quite bright so you can ride with a lower brightness mode to prolong the battery life. Also, think about taking a power bank so you can recharge. How long do you plan to ride at night and what are your conditions (e.g. completely dark?)? Maybe I will be able to give you a better recommendation by knowing more context. Some other options to consider that I revived in the past -> bikedriven.com/accessories/5-best-front-bike-lights-for-night-riding-1100-1300-lumens/ Be safe out there.

@@bikedriven we are going to gate way of India from my place. Its around 180 km. It may take 10 hrs approx. There is one light Shivexim 800 on flipkart. Plz check it.

@@drbhushansali No, if battery backup is what you want, get a Sigma light. It works with powerbanks

Hi Annu, I would recommend XS for Assos. I am 5 foot 10, 63 kg and S is perfect for me. Also, my measurements are here as well in case you want to compare: bikedriven.com/clothing/assos-mille-gt-bib-shorts-review-tried-and-tested/ Thanks!

@@bikedriven ok thanks.....hiw are these compared to rapha....raphas pad is just perfect very thin which i like,...also the compressiion on rapha is on point...snugh and tight but NOT super tight like casteelis free race aero

@@annukun7318 No problem at all. I assume you are talking about their Core line, right? If yes, the pads are quite similar even though I would still give preferences to Assos. The pad thickness is pretty much the same, but I feel like the density is better with Assos so the foam should last longer. Also, the ventilation holes and the front part of the pad give it a big plus. That said, the pad is a super individual thing and you also need to account for the saddle. If you are very happy with Rapha then maybe better stick with it as it should be slightly cheaper as well. What's your reason for thinking about the change to Assos? P.S. I will be reviewing Rapha's core bib shorts in few weeks as well.

@@bikedriven no not core.....i ride with the "pro team training" shorts.... minimilist shammy legs hold well not not short like hot pants and not too long either.....looks like your leg parts are short and ride up?

@@annukun7318 Yeah, the inseam length on these is slightly shorter than on most bib shorts (including rapha). So this is another factor to consider.
