Is there any chance that there could be another round of trainerroad kits? I missed out last time and would love to get my hands on a kit. I might be crazy but I thought one of the guys (jonathan or Nate) had a poll on there instagram about a new kit a while back.
They didnāt sell
Nate had mentioned that they were getting new kits, but I suspect it was only for employees. When they made the kits available last time, Nate said they just didnāt sell and it wasnāt worth it. If I can find his post from here on the forum about it, Iāll share it later.
Iām still kicking myself over missing that ordering window, I wanted some kit but hadnāt had the chance to order. My M.O. is missing ordering stuff I want though, my club redesigned kit for this year and I donāt like it as much, fortunately I still have some skinsuits of a design I like. Iād say I would be great advertising for TR, but not a lot of people to see me riding in the basement year round lol
Same here, I regret not ordering it when it was available.
If they find it too much hassle to sell it via a third party, maybe they could simply make the design template available ?
Seems to me too that people riding around with branded kit would be free advertising.
If they are worried about misrepresentation they could insert a āfanā or āsupporterā somewhere in the design so itās not possible to confuse with a trainerroad employee ?
Id rather have one in zwift
Truth. Word on the street is: there was a lot of āinterestā but not a lot of folks actually ordered, so theres no reorder in the immediate future.
I remember Peloton did shorts for the longest time but a bunch of riders wanted bibs, so they finally came up with bibs, and - they didnāt sell. Anyone with any knowledge of their āclothingā would know that they were priced for people from some other planet, and even though they didnāt look so bad, the price was out of sight.
Iāve been on 5Boros to do bibs, and they have avoided doing them like the plague, even though I believe all their swag is made to order, and they use Primal, literally a made to order company. shrug Apple Computer had bibs (and jerseys) in the 70ās, as I remember, and are collectables now, likely not selling well either. Microsoft did jerseys, believe it or not, but they were so weird, they didnāt sell either. RoadID did jerseys and bibs, and when the bibs went on clearance sale, I snapped up 3 or 4.
Zwift had bibs at one point, and they were pricey too. Their jerseys are WOW expensive and often unavailable.
I bought over 6 of the Le Col Wahoo bibs, but they fit so well, I just couldnāt stop buying them. (Now they have gone some kind of crazy sizing, and I have to order a 2X to get the fit if a L)
Maybe they could to a MTO kit, but the manufacturers often have a minimum and not hitting that could be costly, not to mention often massive lead times.
