Sorry Trevor, didn't mean to ignore this comment. Short answer is yes we generally do, but it's never our property. Really high value stuff like bikes, wheels, forks etc. go back soon as the testing is done so they can be re-used in demo fleets or for other tests. Sometimes we ask to hold onto stuff so we can see how it works long term. Clothing, tyres, transmissions etc. are generally too knackered after testing to be re-useable though and by wearing them out we obviously get the long term data that we need when it comes to assessing the next generation of the product (or if it's gears/brakes etc, if we meet them again on a complete test bike). If there's still any life left in it after extended testing I pass it on to young local riders or others who might be struggling to pay for their riding or there's a very good volunteer bike salvaging charity locally.
I haven't tried any Endura gear yet, but I read that their jerseys hold up well for years, read they fit well too.
3:16 when you spit on them or sweat a lot all gloves will be compatible.
I've never considered noise when buying shorts.... :)
My missis always moans at me when I have noise trousers or shorts on 😂
You like orange then ?
Adam Cooper Endura think I should 🤣
I wonder if all these reviewer types get their kit FREE?
