Hello guys
Generally speaking, the prices of products relating bikes are ridiculous in Japan. For instance, although we can buy leather glove at 100yen or highest would be 800yen in do-it-yourself shop, prices of one pare of gloves for bike at bike shops are mostly more than 3000yen. Adding this fact almost of all comments and commercials by shops and companies saying that you'll get so and so km/h advantages by buying this and that commodity are mentirosos (dubious). Weight concerns volume you can get by replacing whole bikes or any parts are so small compared with your weight, and effectiveness of aerodynamics by replacing your whole bike or parts are also very small. I think we can safely say that the best way to get more velocity is loosing your weight.
How about prices in countries other than Japan?
