SILCA has just introduced their new sliding T-Handle Folio hex set and the Tattico Mini-Pump as part of an early teaser to their new 2017 line of products. I saw both of these back in September at Interbike, and, after some hands-on, it’s clear that these are high quality tools for […]
If you don’t feel like elbowing fellow shoppers at your local Wal-Mart this year, your best bet for Black Friday deals might be online. Here are the best Black Friday cycling sites we’ve seen across the webs. We’ll be adding to this list as we come across more sweet deals, […]
Airless, “solid” tires aren’t necessarily a new thing–with heavy rubber iterations available here and there on the market. Now, three bike shop owners are offering the next gen version of tubeless, airless, tires made not from rubber but from lighter weight silicone plastic polymers. Called Nexo Tires, these are designed […]
Recent news stories about attacks on runners have outdoor athletes considering their approach to solo runs, rides, and hikes. Our training goals and times aren’t always compatible with safety, so what to do? Pepper sprays have long been a tool for deflecting attackers—from human to animal—and Sabre Red now has […]
Last year, at Interbike, the Swiftwick booth was buzzing. Literally. The tattoo artist was busy offering free-of-charge, no-regrets, colorful and permanent tattoos. In Vegas, this was popular. But even more popular than personalizing your skin permanently with ink: personalizing your skin not permanently with Swiftwick’s socks. Now this is the amount […]
I caught up on the Coeur Sports line at Interbike, and I was stoked on the range that Coeur reaches in their women’s cycling and triathlon gear. With both understated and bright matching kits, Coeur is doing what many other clothing manufacturers aren’t–building jerseys, bibs, shorts, suits, for a variety […]
Funny how things work. I was volunteering at a Take A Kid Mountain Biking event and ran into the folks from Qikcover. We got to talking and of course I mentioned my gig here and now you all are about to read a review. QIKCOVER Vehicle Seat Protector Features The […]
Around here, when we think aero wheels, we contemplate our lives spent riding along coastal byways. Wind, sand, fog, dolphins spouting off in the waves, the crash of blue . . . ok, actually, yah, it’s pretty beautiful. But where we are, wheels make a difference. That’s why we were stoked […]
If you haven’t heard of Blue Bicycles, they’re about to crush every concept you had about bike manufactures–especially those based in the US. Created by coaches who were having trouble finding bike sponsors for their women’s cycling team, they decided to engineer their own highly technical rides to cater to […]
Feedback Sports has a custom take on tools with their newly available kits that go wherever you go. And judging by their take on chain whips (shown in the right side of the image below), we think they put in some serious R&D here. We caught up with the folks at […]
If there’s one thing Showers Pass has, it’s class. They definitely know how to throw a breakfast. As I sat sipping peppermint tea and watching the product demo, I thought two things: “Man, I love raw sugar,” and “Wow, those are reflective.” Eloquent, I know. But Showers Pass’ take on […]
You know that jar you’ve got on your counter? The one that you’ve been dropping dollars and pennies and quarters into for the last several months? The one that’s supposed to be for your $500 super stiff, supple, perfectly fit, Boa dialed, carbon racing shoes? Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t […]
If you’re not having much luck finding a crank-based power meter to go with your fancy new Shimano Dura Ace R9100, Pioneer Electronics is coming to your rescue. As the first to offer compatibility with the newest release from Shimano, Pioneer is sticking with the cutting edge here. And they’re rescuing […]
We’re in full flight mode at Interbike these days with a full complement of awesome gear that’s hitting the market. Last year, we caught up with the folks at ROTOR as Captain America (aka Zabriskie) just happened to be loitering around their booth. We might have done the awkward stare […]
