First, I ordered a pair of Maui Jims. They arrived broken in box. I had a terrible experience with customer support so I vowed to never buy from them again. Decided to go with a pair of Smiths. They arrived broken in box, and they refused to refund the shipping; only the price of the sunglasses. My third purchase was from Oakley, and they were seemingly destroyed in the shipping process; never saw the box and nobody notified me this happened, I had to reach out to see what was going on. Every pair was ordered from their respective official website.

How can I successfully get my hands on a pair of sunglasses?

Also, I am still waiting on my refund for the first two pairs.

I was full blown addicted to these. My mom regretted ever buying a box because it’s all i wanted to eat. It got so bad that she had to taper me off of them, and then eventually they were never seen on shelves again.

They were little cinnamon swirls, filled with cream, and there were four swirls attached to each other to make a square, fitting perfectly in the toaster.

These weren’t available for very long, probably for good reason. They will have a warm place in my memory forever.

I’m going for the light tan/plum color scheme to match my bike. Does anyone have shoe recommendations? I might just settle for white since there are many options, but maybe there is something good out there that I’m missing in light tan

Helmet: Specialized Propero 4 - Metallic Sandstone
Sunglasses: Maui Jim Hookipa - Maui Rose lens
Jersey: Rapha Core - off white
Bibs: Rapha Pro Team Powerweave: plum/quartz
Bike: 2025 Cervelo Soloist

I started using my analog stick differently for turning and now i can accurately drive through corners

Bought a new pair of Hookipas since I like the original pair I’ve had for a couple years now. I just unboxed them today (tortoise frame, green “HT” lens) and they are noticeably warped. The pics attached are my two pairs sitting side by side, the black frame/bronze lens being my old pair.

At first l thought maybe the frame design had changed over the past two years, but when looking at just the new pair, they are uneven; the frame on one side has a sharper angle from the other side. They are not symmetrical.

Has anyone else experienced this with Maui Jim?

I have a RMA request in.

Im 5’8 with a 28 inch inseam. I switched from 170mm to 160mm cranks, and it feels much better. I have around 350 miles on the 160mm so far. Currently this fit feels really good, have done a couple 4 hour rides without any pain or numbness. Im curious how my saddle height is. People have told me it’s too low, and it does feel like it could be higher but I’m not sure.

I switched to 160mm cranks sense I have short legs, and it feels a lot better but I feel like there’s still something missing with my fit. I don’t have any pain and am comfortable on the bike, but at times I feel like I could benefit from longer reach

I’m planning on switching to shorter cranks in the near future (currently 170mm) because I have shorter legs and longer torso than normal, I and I want to dial my reach in at the same time with a new stem if needed.

I don’t really have any problems with my current reach/don’t feel stretched out, but when I get into a lower position I feel a little cramped, as if a slightly longer stem would help, but I’m not sure. My bike came with a 100mm -8 stem.

To me it feels comfortable and I’ve done a few 50-60 mile rides on it so far with no issues, but I’m still not sure I have the right size. I have slightly shorter legs/longer torso for my height so I feel like like my fit is never perfect on any bike.

I rode in every position I’d find myself in on a long ride, the first two being the most frequent

I have a shorter inseam than average for my height, so after testing many bikes ranging from 51cm to 54cm, I found most to either be too cramped or have a more upright position due to needing to sit lower on bikes in my size. I landed on a 54cm soloist and dropping the stem, which feels really good so far after about 300 miles. Is there anything that should be changed? I’m thinking about going from the stock -8 stem to a -12, but I’m not sure yet.
