Star Clothing-
I've never heard of this company before, but from what my roommates have told me, it's a Scandanavian brand, and they make some nice clothes. My new team gave me jerseys, shorts, tights, gloves, hats and a long sleeve, and they're all very nice. I put 130 miles into the chamois the other day, and besides some chafing from not using chamois cream, it was fine. The jerseys fitting is a little weird; tight arms, and baggy stomachs. Otherwise, I like it.
Vredestien TriComp Fortezza clincher tires-
I really like these. I had them a last year as training tires, but I just picked up a pair for racing-only clinchers. I raced them yesterday, and they were very grippy. I'm very happy so far. Now it's time to take them off, put on my training tires and go ride.
