In this article I will share why every cyclist and runner should have a set of BibBits Race Number Magnets. My girlfriend purchased a set of these when she was running a half marathon at Arrow Venloop 2025. During my recent Alpe d’HuZes 2025 participate I had my fight again with the safety pins to get the race number on.
Tacx Daiya O2 water bottle 550ml review
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Garmin Tacx Daiya O2 water bottle in an Amacx Sports Nutrition branded version. The Tacx Daiya O2 water bottle is also the go to water bottle from world tour team Visma Lease a Bike. I will try to compare with the Elite Fly and Elite Jet water bottles, that normally go onto my bikes.
Born Block with Magnesium and Caffeine
In this short article I would like to highlight the Born Block with Magnesium and Caffeine, with a great slogan on the packaging: “Born to Push the Limits“. In my simple words it is the classic Dextro Energy Glucose Classic on steroids.
Craft Cadence TPU Inner Tube for Road and Gravel
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Craft Cadence TPU Inner Tube, which takes a different design approach than RideNow- and CYCLAMI TPU Inner Tubes. I’ve ridden all of these TPU Inner Tubes and compare against the Pirelli RoadTube – Butyl Inner tube.
Fusion Mens C3 T-Shirt review
In this article I will briefly review the Fusion Mens C3 T-Shirt that is a perfect clothing item to recharge and use off the bike. Please note that Fusion also has a complete cycling clothing-line for men and women. At a later point in time I might review one of the Fusion Tempo! bibshort or a Fusion Cycling jersey.
Crankbrothers Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD
In this article I will review the Crankbrothers Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD, Time ATAC and Crankbrothers Eggbeater cleats. It is a small tool that might be able to compete with the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Shimano SPD. I will share my experiences and why I think it should be part of your travel toolbox.
C-Bear BB86/BB92 Ceramic Bottom Bracket PF41–AC for All Conditions
In this article I will look at the C-Bear BB86/BB92 Ceramic Bottom Bracket PF41-AC for all conditions. It is a press fit BB86/BB92 bottom bracket for Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II cranks on a Canyon Grizl CF SL8 1by gravel bike. Unfortunately the default Token Ninja BB4124PS bottom bracket started making funny noises.
Finally I will compare this PF41-AC all condition C-Bear Ceramic Bottom Bracket with the C-Bear Ceramic Bottom Bracket for BB86/BB92 PF41 with R (road) ceramic bearings, in the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX.
AC Sports Nutrition Energy Bar review
In this article I will share my test experience of the AC Sports Nutrition Energy Bar (40 grams) which is a private label of duursport.nl and competitively priced against the sports nutrition A-player-brands. As always I’ll look into the nutritional value per 100 grams to make a fair comparison.
BBB Cycling UltraStop BBS-28HP Rim Brake Pads
In this article I will review the BBB Cycling UltraStop BBS-28HP Rim Brake Pads and try to compare these practically against the normal Shimano Dura Ace and SwissStop Brake Pads. Tested on the good old Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8.
Topeak Nano TorqBit for TorqBar
The Topeak Nano TorqBit is a 1/4″ hex bit with a fixed preset torque value that you can use with each bit holder and each bit. I personally use it in combination with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench that I reviewed a little while ago, but it also comes in a set called the Topeak Nano TorqBar.
I will also compare the Topeak Nano TorqBit against the Ritchey Torque Key which also has a fixed preset torque value.
