Thanks Matt. Great work well done.

Thanks Matt, I've had a play and all seems to work ok, a couple questions please.
Delivery is extra at 5%, is that really on each individual order placed by us or on the whole order as this is to delivered to your good self?
If orders are placed and magic ten is not achieved assuming a refund from them will be applied, yes?
Cheers..

Brilliant work Matt! Looking at the sizing chart I take it that one doubles the A measurement
to gain the actual size?

Hi @PaulW

That's correct, it's 5% on each individual item. If you're ordering something for £40 then that's £2. If we were placing a bulk order of Club kit the postage the club would have to pay on the bulk order is £20-£25 which we'd have to pass on to the members anyway (Velotec was the same). So it should even itself out.

No one would be out of pocket should we not meet the minimum of 10. Given the placement of our windows I wouldn't expect us to ever reach that situation, but a fair question nonetheless!

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Matt

Sorry @Chainreaction - not with you. The sizing charts are in cm so if you want inches it's multiplied by 2.54

Is that what you meant?

Thanks @keithrose 😊

Hi @MattH is there a gillet anywhere? Sorry if it's a daft question, the website isn't great on my mobile :-(

Hi @Philmet1

You are right that the site renders best on a laptop, but you can still access from at phone.

On the page look at the left hand menu in the grey bar:

• click on Cycling
  
• underneath you get more options, click on Cycling tops
  
• even more options appear, click on Cycling vests
  
  

The gilets are in there.

Hope that helps, please let me know if not.

Matt

Got them, thanks. Yes, much better on a laptop :-)

Following a conversation with our contact at Champion System I've revised the instructions for how you access and register on the site. I've put this all into a downloadable guide which is also linked above at the start of this thread.

Please do continue to post any questions or queries.

Cheers

Matt

I completed an order last night and it was a breeze; only comment would be is that it was difficult to find much information or description of the actual kit, there is some on their main site but not much. I am working on the fact that Matt has seen it and it is good kit!

Hi Matt,Went to Champion systems UK. as link on kit guidance info took me onto US site and password for swan wheelers not recognised. Wind vest, (gillet) ordered with no other problems.

Thanks for sorting all this out Matt, jersey ordered :)

Hi Keith - sorry about that. Which link was it please and I'all correct it?

Hi Matt. Probably my fault as i tried to login using the walk through guide. Checked this morning using other link with no problem. Apologies

The design proofs for the gilets have been added to our site. If you haven't ordered one already (or indeed any other item of kit), you'll need to be quick - the order window closes on Monday.

All very straightforward - thanks @MattH

Thanks @MattH ordered ok

All done, nearly forgot about deadline! Well done Matt for sorting the new kit.

Hi , I have ordered a roubaix type top, a tad expensive at £74 I think. However thanks for your efforts Matt.

Ordered ok. Thanks Matt.

@Chainreaction

After the quality issues we had with some of the previous garments, quality and consistency were high on the checklist for a new supplier. Of course, we need to balance this with affordability which we tried hard to do.

The jersey you have ordered is a thick, technical winter jersey and a quick search on similar quality products elsewhere shows the price is not dissimilar. Don't forget we're getting completely unique, custom Swan Wheelers gear - it's not off the shelf stuff that every Wiggo, Froome or Cummings has 😀

At the end of the day whilst it's nice to have club kit - purchase of any item is not at all mandatory!

To confirm the order window is now closed - no more kit can be ordered until the next window is opened.

We've had 19 items of kit ordered in this window. I've had confirmation from Champion System that the order has now moved to production. I'll keep you posted on progress.

Thanks Matt.
