The reviewer mentions the TOOPRE rubber mallet twice in the context of using it to help remove a stubborn crank. They state it can be useful to give a crank a good whack to break the taper and get it started, and they demonstrate using it for this purpose.

The reviewer states that the RION bib shorts were the only pair they ordered too big (in European XL, where an L would have sufficed), which affected the fit. Despite this, they did not slip down. The pad is described as very, very comfortable, and a special feature is a small pocket at the back of the strap for storing items like energy bars. However, the workmanship is criticized as not great, with bulky seams and loose threads inside. The brand advertises using the same pad as Binam GMI at Turtle France 2024, but the reviewer is unsure if this claim is true.
