I got two of these. Very light, strong, and rather expensive.


Attachment 162945

PROS:
-Crazy stiff. It's like standing on a steel plate.
-Memory foam tongue feels great.
-Fit my feet without pain. They're the only shoes I've had(several different pairs of Shimano shoes, Bontrager RXL, Sidi Genius 5) that didn't hurt after an hour or two. They almost disappear. I think it's the monocoque design that makes the difference, I don't have to worry about my feet hanging over the edge of the sole.


CONS:
-Expensive.
-Heat molding takes some extra effort to get right. I wish I'd just started out with the heat gun instead of messing with the oven, it's much more effective.
-The stock insoles are almost nonexistent.
-It's pretty obvious that these are hand-made. The stitching is good, but the resin is considerably thicker in some spots than others. Heat molding evens it out a bit, though.


Overall, they felt great straight out of the box(even better after some TLC with a heat gun and an insole swap), and they seem like they'll wear well(the microfiber is really easy to clean, though it is really shiny). The only regret is I wish I'd been a little less conservative about the color - I've since seen the red ones, and they look fantastic.

Needed a new lid after my crash. RIP Bell Volt...Thanks for saving my noggin'

Hello Mr. Giro...

Easily my favorite!!

Now I just need a bike. :)

Hopefully the Ionos in white/silver will be cooler (temperature). I really liked the Volt, but I was sporting the Black/Carbon colorway and it just felt like I was cooking my head at times, ie. direct intense sunlight. I was lucky to find this one in the right size/color...the pickings are getting slimmer with each passing day at this point.

Finally...

thanks man

I love my Tarmac but it is too big for me (58cm). I fatigue too easily. Hoping to lose the fatigue and gain power with my new build.

Oh yes. Co2 died on me for the last freaking time

Proud to say I haven't bought anything bike-related in the last few months! Not even a tube.
