Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
The Hammerhead Karoo 2 has been in the works for a while, but where it was vapor before, now it’s a real thing, that real people are getting in their hands. That doesn’t mean you can run out and buy one, and get it today (or in some reasonable amount of time to ship it to you). But, DCR has one in a “finished” state that he’s done his thing with; in…
This is less review than PSA because Vittoria doesn’t think it’s important to mention anywhere on the product page that the Terreno Dry gravel tire is intended for hooked rims only. While it might be possible to mount them on a hookless wheel; if Vittoria isn’t confident in their product, I don’t think I should be either.…
I have an unexpected goals problem. I had hoped that shaving 1:30 off my Alpe Du Zwift time was a tough, but achievable long-term goal that would keep me motivated for at least a few months. Where it actually turned out to be a totally achievable short-term goal. When I set out on the first attempt, my expectation was an improvement, but nothing near the 3:05 I ended up taking off my…
My initial impressions of the thru-axles that came with the Lynskey GR300 titanium frameset were very negative, and they only got worse with use. I had a feeling they were going to get replaced with Robert Axle Project axles, and that’s exactly what I did. So much better!!!…
Whether you’re riding with tubes or rocking a tubeless setup, having boots in the saddle bag should your tire get a hole big enough that the inner tube will peak out, is critical. While you can buy these, it’s much more economical to make them out of an old or damaged tire.…
Like a lot of GCN’s recent video, this one is probably more driven by marketing than facts. That’s not to say that I don’t agree with where they end up; it’s better to use different tires in the winter than the summer. Where they fail, is by not going far enough… As someone who now lives in an area where “winter” means riding in temperatures below the freezing point for water, personally…
I’ve been really happy with the name stickers I bought from Veloink, and as it is the time of year to get a good deal on things, I thought it would be worth pointing out that if you love your bike. You should put your name on it :).…
The Lynskey GR300 frameset forms the foundation of their GR300 titanium gravel bike. I opted for the internal cable routed version, but much of what will be discussed in this video is also relevant for the external version. This is a pretty long video, and a significant portion is specific to building the frameset, so I’ve provided an index below with some time codes to break up into more manageable topical chunks.…
The Bryton Rider 750 is a color touchscreen with a massive feature set, including: ANT+ Radar (Varia), Electronic Shifting (Di2/eTAP), Navigation, Smart Trainer (ANT+ FE-C), and Wi-Fi support. With 20 hours of claimed battery life, even when not considering the price it’s a competent entry into the cycling computer market. Now let’s consider the price. Bryton Rider 750 E (just the head unit): USD $269.95 / UK £219.95 / Australia $429.95 /…
I’ve gone all-in on waxing my chains, but it’s nice to have options, and SILCA is open with the fact that even their new Synergetic Wet Lube isn’t as good as waxing. Although, clearly caged in the context of their waxing products. But, not everyone has the temperament to mess around with wax – and it is a bit of a faff. This product is for them. Personally, I was expecting this…
