Waterproof Socks for Men Warm Snow Thermal Sports Sock PORELLE MEMBRANES Snowboard Cycling Ski Bicycle Winter Black Blue
Shoes&Sockswaterproof socks.
used them about a dozen times so far. waterproof as advertised.
pretty stretchy, not the old bag in a sock feeling of the old sealskinz, but not as stretchy as bridgedales offerings.
XL is plenty big enough for my Eu47 feet, with a bit of room to go. Normally I find it difficult to get big enough waterproof socks.
warmth wise, they're sortof microfleece, sortof. they're not as warm as my merino lined winter sealskinz, but on par with my winter Bridgedale waterproof socks. I do get cold feet easily, but have been comfortable in these down to 0degC. anything lower and the old sealskinz come out.
WHEELTOP EDS GeX Gravel Wireless Groupset, hydraulic disc brake, 3-14s
GroupsetI just wanted to add my 2 cents to this convo. I am a dealer for wheeltop and have set up a few bikes with the road gruppo. I am no where biased to wheeltop as I am a shimano fanboy. What I can say about the gruppo is. 1 it was a pain in the ass first time around to set up the fd as someone else has said here the trim screws do nothing. The Rd is clunky. The app sucks. Now haveing said all that once I got over the first time pains and I went on to insatll it another time on another bike I can say. Fd was a breeze to set up the app still sucks but what it does allow is great. It allows you to use 3rd party cassettes and trim them perfect for flawless shifting. I wish the group was much lighter but app its in the works. Being from canada I had a issue with 1 of the shifters. Customer service from the wholesaler was fantastic. I will say this if the group was the same weight as a duracace and im fine if the gruppo was more money it would be my gruppo of choice.

PedalsI have these.
They weigh 285 g and clip easily, but to be fair after 1000 km I started noticing a bit of lateral play on the right one so I can't tell how long they will last. It is still pretty minor as discovered this only by inspecting the pedal by hand, I didn't notice anything while riding.
--edit--
Well, just to confirm the above post.
BTW 285 g on my kitchen scale, so the weight they claim is quite true.
