It's hugely exciting to see the various new product in development and also things hitting the Store.
I was just looking in the Store at the new CB Jersey and thinking what else do I need (where 'need' is a very loose term that often moves closer to 'want') ...
One genuine 'need' (for me) is a spare / replacement headrest cushion and cover. I had to cut a hole in my original when I fitted a bottle cage mount to the top of the headrest bar - and, despite trying to sew up the edges, it is gradually fraying. At some point I will need to replace it and, while I could use an old sock as a replacement, I would prefer an OEM part! It would be great if the headrest covers/cushions were an option to buy in the store?
Secondly, why no CB cycling shorts? Much as it is almost impossible to find cycling jerseys with pockets on the front (except on the CB website), it is similarly tricky to find 'bib' style shorts without the chamois. At the moment I use running shorts. If I'm ordering a jersey I would probably buy the matching shorts if it were an option.
Finally, a small boom bag would be good. It took me several weeks to find one that would fit neatly: I ended up buying a Vaude Cruiser Bag but then had to buy some new, longer velcro straps to install it on the big diameter boom (it fits really neatly under the boom and behind the headset and if great for food and an external battery for the Garmin). It's probably bigger than I really need but was close enough.
Just a few thoughts / ideas..
