Updated REVIEW: Rapid Racer Products Enduro Guard 200mm/large

It protects you and the fork from the most of the mud and dirt and stones, but if its very muddy and its splashing mud from every direction or other riders it does not help much with seal guard.

but the seal guard I have used it almost 7 months, and its still going strong, evo but the guy in the store tried to mount one white guard on one of my other bikes and it snapped(according to him).

enduro guard large green mounted on a FOX Evo29” no matter the size of  of the travel i think you should get size large, more protection the better, unless its a small kids bike.

As you can see the seal guard don’t help much, the featured picture shows it even better, as the seal is covered with snow.

After long ride, I discovered that it failed. I heard a lot of banging noises, when jumping or riding off a drop or hitting a root and now I know why.

 

Official site: http://www.rapidracerproducts.com/EnduroGuard.htm

Verdict:

Not Recommended, It failed after being used ca 1 year on my main bike,1 winter in 2016/2017, and few weeks on my spare bike, it’s not durable enough.

Give light protection against mud or gravel in your face, but does not catch everything in bad weather, my goggles will still get wet, muddy

You will definitely need a bigger & longer fender/mudguard if you plan do a mud bath.

2015 Mavic Crossmax Jersey long & short sleaves

I have not crash tested it yet:-), but I assume its quite durable.

the sizes are about 1 cm difference each way, so I can use International medium and International large.

Pros

• very comfortable against your skin soft and stretches, much more comfortable than a normal cotton t shirt., quite smooth.
• stretches so easy to take on & off elbow pads when wearing the jersey
• will fit every type of body armor, I use POC VPD Air elbow pads
• excellent fit
• the collar could be a bit higher in the front.

Cons

• the size label  in the rear/ neck is not comfortable against your skin
• size label in the neck is uncomfortable
• The yellow jersey attract bees

Because I can use base layer and jersey but still feel cold in this area, use use a buff but I pull the jersey down fro the rear and on the sleeves so I get full coverage in the neck-chest area.

as you can see there is no issue wearing the Poc VPD AIR elbow pads underneath.

 

Conclusion:

good fitting and comfy jersey,so I recommend it

Review:BBB BSD-04 Anatomic Race-Black saddle- Uncomfortable

ncathis saddle has more cons than pros, it’s basicly butt torture for me.

the plastic on the sides and the plastic part that hold the rails will be pushed into your buttcheaks and will hurt when sitting on it.

i felt the saddle right where my butt bones/ischial tuberosities.

its very unconfortable saddle, the onyl reason i fot the saddle is because hte bontrager ssr saddle on my 3900 broke.

i now sue a Bontrager race RL wich flexes more and is thinenr btu still cmfortable.

Pros:

• pretty durable
• the front plate under the saddle did not breake
• no screws popped out.
• the grip,but can’t say how long it lasts becuase i got a new saddle as soon as i could

 

2015 Swix RaceX base layer jersey high neck

I got this underwear jersey in medium.

Pros

• very comfortable against the skin
• the sleeves are long and go past he wrist so your gloves go over them, witch is perfect for me as a rider.The wrist area of the sleeve can fit 2 of my hands but still leave room, when fully stretched.
• it stretches in all directions so when you get bigger muscles it will still fit,as you can wearing padding underneath is not a issue, or if you are muscular it won’t be a issue either,but I wear the pads over the base layer,so you don’t have to take off the base layer to take off the pads,

  

  Enter a caption

• no seams in the armpit, so its very confortable.
• Strong propper seams( with cheaper underwear from other brands i had issue with hte thred breaking the first time i got it on, but not with these.

 

cons:

• none so far.

 

Verdict:

Recommended well made base layer that will fit many shapes of bodies and is very comfortable,wit seams in the right places.

Review: POC Joint VPD Air Elbow pads

The pad is cut so it bends easy and comfortable, but when I crashed one time and the pads squeezed my skin so it was red few days, but that not really a big issue

Pros:

• easy and fast to take them on and off
• the right materials used so they will be durable and wont wear out
• very comfortable,not as hot as the Bliss ARG or similar pads.
• they did not wear out just in weeks like the 2015 Bliss ARG.
• light weight
• not as bulky as Bliss ARG or similar designs.
• The strap and rubber part at the bottom stop the protector from slipping.

Cons:

• quite warm, but not as warm as POC VPD2.0 DH .
• No upper strap, and quite baggy at the top, so does not fit as securely as it should for me. This might not be an issue for you, but at the time I had quite thin arms, small biceps But if you hit something backwards and it gets hooked on the upper side it can pull on the pad.
  

Verdict:

Get the Joint VPD 2.0 Elbow or Joint VPD 2.0 Elbow or instead, which I have done.

Review of C4 Sportsbrille

These glasses look Like Limar, F60 (Picture below) & Endura Mullet(which comes in 6 colors)

Limar F60

Endura Mullet(photochromic glass(get darker when it gets brighter and brighter when it gets darker)

http://media.chainreactioncycles.com/is//ChainReactionCycles/prod51325_Glossy%20Black_NE_01?id=lqNrx2&scl=4&req=tile&rect=0,0,231,225&fmt=jpg

but case / case is not the same, not the packaging either I have used the glasses for more than (do not remember exactly) 2 years in hot weather cycled in cold and hot days, no peak has broken, it comes with a case with blrille bag, but it is not true, but it has 4 glass glasses sitting on my nose ok, but the problem that I get flies that crash in my forehead right in the eyes. but the shape of the forehead has a lot to say, they can maybe for you and not me.

The bad:

• Not Photocromatisk lense on G-Sport’s site it says that it is. but further down it said that it comes with 4 glasses.

•  rubber tube onto eyeglass arms fall off and the glue melts, the rubber cracks so glasses are nasty to wear when this happens. I had to wash away the glue
• at 599 NOK the too high price
• only one color
• only one size
• The black paint peels off, and smelt so you get black marks on the skin. rubber sock on glasses arms fall off the glue melts, it slips off, the rubber cracks. so the glasses get disgusting to wear when this happens.

What is good:

• Case and bag
• the glasses came in a bag so you don’t scratch them

https://www.gsport.no Konklusjon jeg ambefaler ikke disse brillene http://www.gsport.no/produkt/214315/c4-sportsbrille-re-2-7 noen vil vite mer om c4 komponenter http://www.terrengsykkel.no/ubb/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1126977&page=2

Konklusjon: Don’t buy these glasses.

• very breathable in the heat
• decent price

cons: 

• no touch screen support o nthe fingertips
