Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
Few things have changed my opinion around riding in the cold like these pogies. While they are magic, pure magic, I do have one regret around buying these.…
Canyon messed up. Clearly, no doubt, they messed up. I’m going to assume everyone is familiar with the new Aeroad’s issue; if not, go read up, we’ll wait. The root problem is that they tried to get too clever with the seat post design on the new Aeroad. It fits too tight at the back for the amount of flex that the design allows, and a non-load bearing part of the seat…
I was feeling pretty good about Garmin’s new Enduro watch, right up to the point where the features discussion started. More money than a fēnix 6, but way less features; and the only thing you get in return is massive battery life. I say only, but if that’s your thing, it could be exactly what you’re looking for. Personally, as long as I leave all-day SPO2 off (which frankly isn’t a hard…
No doubt this is a slick project, and I would be more than happy to test ride this set of “ice wheels”; once. But, um…, a set of studded tires would have been a heck-of-a lot easier and cheaper, and they would have also worked a LOT better.…
I’ve been planning to do this walk through for a while now, and with large swathes of North America in the grip of a polar vortex, it seemed like a great time to spend some quality time with my smart trainer.…
I couldn’t find a good video on how to open up a SUNringlé SRC Freehub to service it, or swap the hub (pretty much the same process minus the cleaning). So here goes. Enjoy.…
If you’re having trouble with your Garmin EDGE cycling computer connecting to Wi-Fi, it’s possible that the latest firmware update will resolve. As it’s the only change in the log for the update, should be safe to apply (or not if you’re not experiencing). Garmin has provided the update as a download, so anyone who wants it can go get it. EDGE 530/830/1030 Plus…
Rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan. This is an unavoidable thing. Of course it’s possible to manage that lifespan to extend it a little, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s going to die, and it’s probably something that is going to happen in 2-3 years. Knowing this, is it responsible for a company to build a device where the only course of action is to throw it away and buy…
I look at studded winter tires the same way I think about a helmet. 100% optional. Unnecessary weight slowing you down, right up to the point where you need them. While they aren’t cheap, neither are collarbones or dental work :).…
YouTube dream builds are a guilty pleasure. One that, given that Gee has 706k subscribers, is shared with quite a few people. There are quite a few reasons why I like watching them, but it’s mostly for the articles… er… I meant tips on how to build a bike. THAT SAID, not all the builders are of equal skill. There are many time where i just have to shake my head at…
