634s-uhr on the cyclocross podium

Fresh pair of 555 XHS and IHG-081-ORA. Posted in the 555 XHS thread for fit advice but after a wearing around the house for a spell I think these are perfect.

finally, the temps in chicago are perfect for the ihj-114-blk. also day 39 of the ih-634s-uhr.

364 days since the initial soak/machine wash. Roughly 300 wears? Lost count once it got hot out, but that’s a safe estimate. Denim is probably slightly damp in these pics from yesterday’s soak/machine wash. Thought the wash would take more indigo out of the denim tbh, but I don’t care… I love these so much. Stoked the temps are cooling off in Chicago and I can get back to daily wear.

Chuy loves the xmas tree

Mr Marr, unless my eyes deceive me?

pulled the trigger on some 634s-uhr and i am beyond stoked on these!

the cuffs are huge, yes, but i dig the style. will likely get them hemmed at some point, but i love a big ol' rockabilly cuff.

since this forum was a huge help in finding the right fit for me, below are my pre and post soak/wash measurements done the IH way... (in inches with silly american fractions haha)

Spent a weekend in Zell am see at a cycling event I sponsored for work and kicked it with Ferdi Porsche on the Großglockner. Drove me up the mountain in the GT3 RS and down in the 911 Dakar. Awesome weekend of fast bikes and fast cars.

Chuy loves UHR as much as I do. Perfect for digging her toes in!

Just ordered a set of 666S SBG blind and nailed the sizing thanks to tips like these. Measured my 634S UHR the IH way and used those to guide my tag size in the 666. Looked at the waist, but also the thigh in particular since the 666 is a slimmer fit.

IH’s consistency in how a product is measured serves as a solid foundation for how to determine if a product is the right fit regardless of tag size. I’ve never encountered a company who is as helpful when it comes to sizing.

Christmas break has begun!

@FlavourFade the Tokyo cuff always looks good! killer fit dude. my first pair of IH were the 634 in UHR, now I have some 666 & 555 but the 634 are such a classic fit. I feel like everyone needs a pair.

@scarfmace josh left Zipp right around the time I was signed as an athlete so we've never actually connected, but silca is great.

regarding my wheels, we typically do white decals for our pro riders and these came from a batch we made with out valve logos for our pros who were racing the wheels before they launched.

there is a company called Slik Graphics who have all our templates and can make custom decals for your Zipps!

here's mine set up with 40mm road slicks!

@scarfmace as the Zipp Brand Manager, seeing this post makes me really stoked! glad you are enjoying the wheels. I had the pleasure of racing on Zipp when I was a pro and now working there, I've had the pleasure of riding pretty much every Zipp wheel made since 2015. I can wholeheartedly say that of everything we've ever made since I started riding Zipp the XPLR are my favorite wheels.

@j6550 it is absolutely xhs season in Chicago haha

@goosehd that makes perfect sense! I knew the 25oz would be a beast, but until I got some I had no idea quite how much of a beast this denim is.

I’d like to credit this thread for getting me thirsty for cider and subsequently getting buzzed enough to get these 555 XHS I had sitting in a cart for weeks.

@AdamJ I’ve copped both 666S SBG and 555 XHS in the last month or so and I’m obsessed with the feel of XHS. If the XHSib come in 555 or 666 I am going to go broke haha. But seriously, I think I’d get a pair to hold until next years Invitational. I’ve been lurking in all the XHSib threads and the fades are so sick!

Is there a specific reason there’s no Type I, II, or III in XHS or UHR? Would that just be absolutely ridiculous?
