Huh, I may have to try those out. The reason I almost never wear gloves is the padding makes my hands go numb.

Highly recommended and they're the only gloves I use due to the absence of padding.

I have the Zero's with no padding, but the palm is leather and after an hour my hand is sweaty and slimy on the palm. I also have the LTZs, but they're white and gross looking right now. I wore them today after not wearing them for a year and I was reminding how much I like them. I believe the Zero II's are kind of a combo of the two, at least based on looks. Might have to try those.

Hmm, I'll have to look into these too.

Found this pic on my son's phone, it's from a crit I won a few months ago. Race season is pretty much over around here except for an omnium next month. That's me on the front, where I like to be in a crit, because I am scared of having to sprint against anyone!

I've had to stop lifting, I was way too heavy That's a full 10 kg smaller than I was in December.

I benched 300 this last off season, typically working up to 255 or 275 for rep work. Now I could probably do 225 a few times, but I haven't benched in months. If you meant OHP, I suck at that because of the long arms and would usually work with 135/155 but never would go anywhere near a max on it.
