Prorace brand? Shorts & Seatpost
Anyone have experience with this brand? It seems to be really cheap, but on Probikekit.com everything is really cheap. I am not interested in saving $20 only to have a piece of junk.
I got my new road bike several weeks ago, and my new seatpost isn't a microadjust and I just can't get my brooks to be comfortable. I am either falling forward or getting crushed.
Also, I would like to get a decent pair of shorts. I have one pair of gel things bought before I new better. And, a pair of normal chamois, but they are a bit cheap. I am going to be doing longer rides and it is clear, these are not the shorts.
This is what I am looking at buying.

There's not much to explain. They're just like any other house brands. Nothing terribly wrong with them. Good value for the money. I'd be slightly leery of the carbon seatpost (i'm a retrogrouch) but the shorts - no problem.
