Boast about your latest purchases here...

I also have a set of evil eye with the inserts. Been very dissapointed with them. When * need a new pair of sepctacles, I will be going with oakley or rayban.

What insert is nice of oakley thats not too small .

 

I am happy with my Adidas, only annoying bit is when sweat drips between the lense and insert. No fogging and I sweat like a racehorse when cycling. The inserts are also super cheap to replace when your prescription changes, unlinke a full, curved lense.........

 

I have prescription lenses in my Oakley's for driving and when out and about.

I have had issues with the matte finish frames and sweat, they tend to "delaminate". so I would not use Oakleys for cycling, personally. These wer on 2 seperate frames, same issue.

 

Also, personal preference, but I don't like the look of dedicated cycling glasses for everyday wear. I prefer to have at least a normal pair of glasses and then prescription sunglasses

Been using the same set of Evil Eyes since 2004. Only had to replace one arm when somebody knocked my glasses out of my hands after a race, and then somebody else stepped on it before I could pick it up. Was cheap to replace.

Since my eyes are quite "steady", I'm still using the original set of inserts.

 

Only thing fairly expensive is replacement lenses. I wanted to get a set of clear lenses for night riding, but balked at the quoted price (and this was a few years ago)

I wear reading glasses. I am finding that when I ride, I can see the track ahead of me fine, but I am battling to read my Garmin when I look down... (Getting old isn't for sissies)

 

Can you get "reading inserts" for cycling glasses? The arm on my Uvex just broke so I am due for a new pair.

Dont let any moisture on the adidas lenses. They become unusable afterwards. I have the foam padding around the frame, making it like a goggle and it fogs up, but only when i stop. I have a brown and yellow lens and the yellow is by the best in low  light

Picked this up recently - still need to sort out my fitment. I think its one of the prettiest bikes Giant have designed recently (IMO)

 

Ya I know it might have too much gold    #sorrynotsorry

Droo built her up today. I got home a little late to go out for a maiden voyage, so it will happen tomorrow morning.

 

First impressions, it's moer long, moer slack, and moer heavy! You also sit on top of the bb which should be awesome on long climbs!

 

The red stem will be replaced with a black one once I settle on the right length.

Dexter, would you be able to tell me how to disable Power Save Timeout? I went for a training run just now, and the watch stopped recording my run because of Power Save.

 

Edit: I think I've just figured it out.

Finally got me some protection... tired of leaving skin on the trails! Sure I will be testing their efficacy soon!
