In this article I will look at the PB Swiss Tools 304.4 hammer and compare it with a normal 500 gram hammer with a Picard nylon cap.
While there is a solid overlap in application options, the PB Swiss Tools 304.4 hammer is basically a 2-in-1 hammer with a dead blow mallet added to the table.
In this article I will review the Elite Rocko Carbon water bottle cages for my Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. While on my road bike I run a pair of lightweight Tune Wasserträger 2.0 Carbon Bottle Cages, I wanted to have a bottle cage with high retention, so I’ve searched for some of the bottle cages used by mountain bike professionals as well as the water bottle cages used in Paris-Roubaix. The result of my quest is a set of Elite Rocko Carbon bottle cages.
In this article I will review the S&R Screwdriver with 1/4″ magnetic bit holder with product number 250.587.100 and compare it with a couple of other bit holders like the Hazet 2262 Screwdriver with bit holder or the PB Swiss Tools 186.6-100 M screwdriver with magnetic bit holder.
Speedplay Walkable Cleats are the latest cleats version available for Speedplay Zero, Speedplay Pave and Speedplay Light Action.
While installation is not that hard I would like to know if I can still use the Ergon TP1 Cleat Tool for Speedplay to install these new Walkable cleats.
In this article I will review the Giro Monaco Cycling Gloves. These cycling gloves seem to have a good and all-round feature set for the highly interesting price-point of € 23,-.
Gloves are in addition to a helmet the very few protection items for road cyclists. So I’ll share my personal view on comfort and features.
The Wahoo Tickr X is a heart rate sensor that was used by team Sky in the 2016 Tour de France stages (in the Pyrenees, the jerseys are wide open).
The Tickr X is Wahoo’s flagship heart rate monitor featuring dual band ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless capabilities. The build-in memory can record up to 16 hours of training. The Wahoo Tickr X can be connected to almost every iPhone or Android smartphone, but also a wide range of tablets and ANT+ enabled devices like for example cycling computers.
Personally I used the Wahoo Tickr X in combination with my Pioneer Pedaling Monitor System (SGX-CA 500 computer, Wahoo Elemnt Bolt Stealth Edition and SGY-910HL power meter).
In the article I will review the Craft Cadence Backpack Rolltop, which is a very versatile waterproof messenger bag with loads of cool improvements over the Ortlieb Velocity messenger bags.
Craft Cadence has a community-driven product design approach, that clearly provides valuable product iterations. I’m also using the Craft Cadence Essential case for some time, but cannot get it to show any signs of wear.
Sidi Wire SP cycling shoes are basically the normal Sidi Wire shoes with a Speedplay specific carbon sole that has the 4 bolt pattern integrated. Compared to the normal 3 bolt patterns of carbon soles (Look or SPD cleats) no base-plate is needed to install Speedplay (Walkable) cleats.
In this article I will share my experiences with the Sidi Wire SP shoes and zoom in on some of the unique design features.
The Giro Synthe is a widely used helmet in the professional peleton and is available in a MIPS version as Giro Synthe MIPS. Switching from the Giro Aeon helmet I’ll have a look at the design differences with special attention for the MIPS protection layer.
Finally I’ll share my experiences of the Giro Synthe MIPS on the road.
In this article I will share my thoughts on the PowerBar Energize Original Energy Bar, which is one of my favorite energy bars that is also excellent in warm weather conditions.
I have reviewed other energy bars on this website like the Win2 Energy Bar with Chia seeds, but the PowerBar Original Energy Bar is great for multiple sports and weather conditions.
