In this short article I will share my thoughts about the GEKA Spray Nozzle Light, that I use in combination with the GEKA plus hose piece with water-stop (and also variations without a water-stop). GEKA has from my point of view the best hose pieces out there.

In this article I will review the Sports Nougat Bar from 6D Sports Nutrition in flavor Cranberry and Pistachio. These Sports Nougat Bar are 35 grams in weight and include a 2:1 carb ratio. I will try to compare this energy bar with the Powerbar Energize Original or the Win2 Energy Bar with chia.
Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Shimano TL-FC41 Tool for Direct Mount Chainring, that basically helps you to install a direct mount chainring onto a Shimano Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crank (or the SLX M7100 version of the Shimano Direct Mount cranksets).
Syncros K-Edge Top Cap Computer Mount for Hixon IC, XR and FL-stems
In this article I will share my ideas about the Syncros K-Edge Top Cap Computer Mount that I’ve installed on the Scott Scale 925 mountain bike, on the Syncros FL-stem that’s on the bike. For me this is a solid option on a mountain bike, where I prefer the Garmin Edge 840 on the stem rather than in-front of the stem like on a road bike.

PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump review
The CO2GO+ Mini Pump from PRO Bikegear is a full aluminum mini-pump that can be used as a manual pump and a CO2 inflator. The PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump is robust and has two clever ways of storing the CO2 cartridge.
Finally I’ll do a brief comparison with Barbieri Moskito Pump, which is also a 2 in 1 pump.
Scott Scale direct mount Chainguide for 1×12 speed
In this article I will review the Scott Scale Direct Mount Chainguide that will support my 1×12 speed Shimano Deore XT M8100 set-up for the Scott Scale 925 mountain bike.

In this article I will share the use of Muc-Off Tubeless Rim Tape on the a-symmetrical DT Swiss RR411 rim of the FFWD F2A rear wheel that is build around DT Swiss 240s hubs. I’ve purchased the FFWD F2A wheels for a bargain price point. Velox Cotton Textile rim tape and the Schwalbe High Pressure rim tape didn’t do the trick.
Shimano Deore XT PD-M8100 SPD pedals
In this article I will review the Shimano Deore XT PD-M8100 SPD pedals, which are the default for mountain bike and gravel pedals. The new limited edition Shimano GRX SPD M8100-UG pedals are basically the same Deore XT M8100 SPD pedals.
I also have two pairs of Shimano XTR PD-M9100 SPD pedals (which we discounted) that are a bit lighter for the top end group and used by Pete Stetina on his Canyon Grail gravel bike.
