To cold for normal bibs, too warm for roubaix longs.

Roubaix shorts or normal longs, or 3/4's in either material?

I'd just get roubaix leg warmers if I were you and use your normal bib shorts, or even just knee warmers if you find them too hot. Although I have 3/4 bibs I prefer the fit and pad in my regular bibs so so far this winter have just been using leg warmers with them (DHB ones, they aren't nearly as hot as insulated winter tights).

Same here. It's difficult this time of year to be warm but not to warm I find.

I find my dhb Roubaix 3/4 bibs are perfect from about 4 degrees up to 12.

Below that, it's tights and above that it's shorts.

How's the pedal?

FUBAR, the hool-a-hoop bushing had worn down to paper thin! New ones ordered with needle bearings and a 5 year gaurentee.
