We have made it our mission to source the very best fabrics available, so that we can offer our clients the most technically advanced performance kit around. The latest fabric we have added to our specification list is Teflon treated lycra for our triathlon range: we already use the most technically advanced performance lycra so far developed (Power Lycra) and now we are adding Teflon treatment. As well as reducing the drag coefficient to help you to glide through the water, the Teflon is also hydrophobic, which means it repels water and causes it to bead, making the lycra super-fast drying. This of course means that in a tri race, you will dry off on the bike much faster, making for a more comfortable ride. The focus of Carvalho Custom is to provide premium technical race kit at reasonable prices – because we are based in Portugal, we can keep our costs down compared to say northern European countries, but on the other hand we have no interest in competing with the cheap and cheerful custom cycling and triathlon kit that is now starting to come out of China. --------------------- http://www.cxtw54.com/2012/02/cool-clothing-teflon-treated-lycra-for-our-custom-tri-kit.html It is a lot of work organising a photo shoot and we were lucky enough to have Tiago Santos around to record some of the work we did.

The cut of the panels have been altered to ensure that the lycra is less stretched round the waist when you are in the cycling position, whilst maintaining compression on the legs to help soothe those aching quads. We have also added the option to have lycra-band leg grippers rather than silicone so that the grip itself is less constricting on the muscle. The shorts incorporate a side panel that swishes round the front of the leg and a separate back panel to link the two side panels, rather than having a continuous ‘U’ panel running down the legs and over the backside. It is an unbelievable amount of work to design, test and then redesign a garment as complex as cycling shorts, but we think that we have now developed the most comfortable ergonomically designed cycling shorts available on the market! We have maintained our carbon mesh chamois, because we think it is the most comfortable chamois available on the market, as it uses fabric mesh rather than foam, which will not absorb moisture (to avoid the ‘nappy’ feel in the wet) and uses carbon threads to help dissipate the heat, as well as being completely antibacterial and anatomically cut. --------------------- http://www.cxtw54.com/2012/02/cool-clothing-new-custom-cycling-bib-shorts.html Davilex SBDN is the leading Dutch long distance triathlon team and of course we are enormously proud to supply their custom tri kit.

But there are certain websites that are out to scam you. When you are making a direct buy, you may think that you have found a great deal on something, but it may actually be a direct buy scam [1]. There are ways to avoid these scams when you are shopping on the internet though. When you are shopping on the internet, the first thing you should do is do a little research on website's that you are considering using to make a direct buy. There are many reputable websites out there but there are some that just want to steal your credit card information. If you do a search, you will find reviews of other people's experiences which will help you make the decision to use that website, if you see that some persons have direct buy complaints [2] about the site you are interested in making a direct buy, then you should probably stay away from it. Always do research with a site you aren't familiar with to protect your credit card information. You may have seen websites that advertise very low prices on products. Like with many other things, these websites can be too good to be true. Some exist just to be able to get your credit card information and won't send the things you purchased. This is why you need to be careful when using the internet to shop. Using the internet to shop can be easy and fun. But you need to be careful about the websites that you use. Always research unknown websites before using them otherwise you may become victim of a direct buy scam.

So here is a taste of some of the photos we have: Here we are setting up the first shots, bright and early… About to get wet in the pool…. Giving it some welly on the bikes. We were very lucky to have the exceptional talents of Margarida Ramos who took the above photos and is just starting out in her career and Joana Maltez who was the main photographer for the shoot. As well as being great professionals they were just such a pleasure to work with and I think the results speak for themselves, so thank you so much to both of them. --------------------- http://www.cxtw54.com/2011/11/cheap-clothing-photo-shoot-for-our-custom-cycling-triathlon-kit-range.html Here at Carvalho Custom, we love to get involved with events that help to drive our sports of cycling and triathlon forward.

So we were delighted to be contacted by the Winter Triathlon Series in Holland who wanted sponsorship for the events they were running over the 2011/2012 season. This is triathlon with a twist though – since it gets a bit chilly in Holland over the winter, they decided that Winter Triathlon should be Run-Bike-Skate, which sounds like a good idea to us! So we decided to get involved and we will have a stand at some of the events, including at Assen on the 29th of October if you would like to come and meet us and see some samples. Please come along and say hello if you get the chance. Bij Carvalho Custom houden we ervan betrokken te zijn bij evenementen die onze favoriete sporten fietsen en triathlon verder brengen. We vinden het dan ook ontzettend leuk dat de Winter Triathlon serie ons heeft benaderd als sponsor voor de evenementen die zij organiseren in het seizoen 2011/2012. Maar de Winter Triathlons zijn geen gewone triathlons. Omdat de Nederlandse winters nogal koud zijn, heeft de organisatie gekozen voor een race in de vorm ”run-bike-skate”. Dat vinden wij een fantastisch idee! Vandaar dat wij tijdens verschillende evenementen met een stand aanwezig zullen zijn. Tijdens de race in Assen op 29 oktober zijn we er ook. Dus als je geïnteresseerd bent in onze kleding en een aantal voorbeelden zou willen zien, nodigen we je van harte uit langs te komen bij onze stand. Hopelijk zien we jullie daar! --------------------- http://www.cxtw54.com/2011/11/clothing-wear-carvalho-custom-winter-triathlon-series-holland.html We have just come back from Assen in Holland where we sponsored the first event in the Winter Triathlon Series (Run-Bike-Skate).

It was an unbelievably well-organised event: only in Holland would you be able to find 312 volunteers to run an event for 600 people and we would very much like to thank the organizers for being so amazingly helpful to us. We really hope to come back next year and if you are based in Holland, please consider the next 4 events in the Winter Triathlon Series: Winterduathlon Alkmaar – 13th November 2011 Wintertriathlon Inzell – 11th February 2012 Wintertriathlon Groningen – 10th March 2012 Wintertriathlon Twente – 24th March 2012 We are not, going to be able to come to all the events, but plan to be at Groningen and Twente, so please come along and see us if you are interested in custom cycling and triathlon clothing and we can show you some samples and have a chat! We zijn net terug uit Assen, waar wij het eerste evenement van de Winter Triathlon Series (Run-Bike-Skate) hebben gesponsord. Het was een bijzonder goed georganiseerd evenement: 312 vrijwilligers die een evenement organiseren voor 600 mensen, dat zie je alleen in Nederland! We willen dan ook de organisatie heel erg bedanken voor de goede zorg die wij hebben gehad tijdens het evenement. We hopen dat we volgend jaar weer kunnen komen. Als je zelf in Nederland zit, hou dan de data van de volgende Winter Triathlon Series in de gaten: Winterduathlon Alkmaar – 13 November 2011 Wintertriathlon Inzell (Oostenrijk)- 11 Februari 2012 Wintertriathlon Groningen – 10 Maart 2012 Wintertriathlon Twente – 24 Maart 2012 Het is voor ons niet mogelijk om bij al de evenementen in Nederland te zijn, maar we hopen in Groningen en Twente langs te komen met onze stand. Dus als je geïnteresseerd bent in onze custom design triathlon- en fietskleding, kom dan tijdens een van deze evenementen even langs om kennis te maken en een paar van onze voorbeelden te bekijken. --------------------- http://www.cxtw54.com/2011/11/shopping-clothing-sponsoring-the-assen-winter-triathlon-in-holland.html
