    Looks like the SRX jersey got updated. The elastic on the pocket opening look much flatter which I like instead of the elastic band with fabric bunch stitching. The addition of the zipper pocket is a great addition. The collar looks like it was update from the photos as well which I like in comparison. I'll be replacing my black one that got ripped snagging on a fence last week. I agree with your review on the bib shorts, particularly, regarding the chamois. It's not often analyzed in detail or even showcased on the video inside out to be seen... and that chamois is definitely the better kind.

    No idea how the Jerseys are, or if siroko actually made major changes to their fabrics, but 2 years ago I bought a Siroko bib short (Aspen) and the K3 glasses, and both pieces of kit were without a doubt the worst stuff I bought. Bibs just disintegrated on the legs after less than a season and 5k km and the glasses were just super uncomfortable, at least to my head. While it may be a good entry in some points, it just doesn´t seem to stand the test of time and with retailers giving actual discounts left and right (and not just another flash sale that somehow is followed by yet another flash sale). Especially with the 2025 products coming in soon, playing the waiting game just a little longer will most likely pay off way more in fit and durability.

    • @nikinikcc
      @nikinikcc 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you for sharing your experience! I can't comment on the specific items you mentioned here since I don't have them but (in my opinion) the competition in the cycling apparel space has become greater and greater and hence larger firms can't just dish out subpar quality clothing anymore. Hence the quality of those firms aspiring to catch up to the big names (Rapha, Maap, Pas Normal) increased their quality and manufacturing processes by a long shot. That's very apparent when it comes to the decathlon stuff too for instance. The price difference is still quite huge though, even on discount a maap bibs will run you back about 170€ while the siroko rocket bibs mentioned here sits at around 102ish. So there's still the argument to be made that you get better value for money here. If you ever have the chance to try out some of the more recent collections I would highly encourage you to give it a shot but I totally understand that a bad experience such as yours can discourage from trying it again. Anyway, happy riding🙌🏼

    • @seandunderdale
      @seandunderdale 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I have two siroko bibs shorts, and the shoulder straps on both pairs split down the middle. They still work, but probably wont last as long as Id hope since its only a matter of time till the splits gets worse. I do like the fit and the comfort of them, theyre better than a pair I bought from Ali Xpress, but that isnt saying much. so Id be tempted to buy from Siroko again if I thought their quality control was higher....I bought the Flandrien bib shorts, both split in exactly the same way after only a couple of wears and one or two washes.

      Contact the manufacturer. They may offer you a replacement or a discount off a new one

    Looks great! The experience you gained from building is likely the best part. .

    Any reason why you undersize your frames? You said you are 172cm in another video, yet you picked the smalles frame for this MTB and the smallest frame for the Mason Resolution (XS instead of S, where you are at the upper range of height for an S frame). I'd be interested to know what your line of thinking is WRT sizing.

      In my personal experience, the bike brands typically "oversize" their sizes by quite a bit. I went to a bikefit last year and got all of the measurements taken. From those measurements, I was at the upper range of the XS Resolution frame size. So to me it made more sense to undersize a little bit rather than having a bike slightly too large and being a bit stretched out. When it comes to the MTB, there were only 3 sizes available so the smallest is actually not thaaaat small. As I wanted to have a quick and nimble XC MTB, it would like the ride qualities of a smaller frame more than the slightly more sluggish behavior of a larger frame. But in the end, most people are going to find themselves between two sizes and then it just comes down to personal preference.
