CeraBike Pedals & Cleats review

Perhaps you can recall my CeraBike Wax Lube review from 2016. After that CeraBike has significantly expanded their product portfolio.
Cocoon Grid-It Organizer – Multi function to the max
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Cocoon Grid-It Organizer that I use to organize important bike tools that I store in a set of BERA CLIC+ toolboxes It was the Velonews article “A look inside pro mechanics’ toolboxes” that pointed me to the Cocoon Grid-It Organizer following the footsteps of Joe Devera, mechanic of the Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com team.
Stahlwille 4008-1 Ratchet Screwdriver
In this article I will review the Stahlwille 4008 ratchet screwdriver in two lengths 4008-1 and 4008-2. Stahlwille is my preferred brand for torque tools (Stahlwille Manoskop) and 50-sersies 1/2″ sockets (12 tooth instead of hex shaped).
Stahlwille 4008-1 and 4008-2 ratchet screwdriver with 1/4″ bit holder will be compared with the various other screwdrivers with 1/4″ bit holder.
Selle Italia X-LR Air Cross TM Superflow S Saddle
In this article I will review the Selle Italia X-LR Air Cross TM Superflow S saddle that I use on the Scott Scale 925. I changed the brown Syncros saddle with the Selle Italia because it is very close to the Fizik Arione Versus Braided saddle I’m riding on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX road-bike.
The Air Cross Superflow in size S is a cyclocross specific saddle with a downward pointing saddle nose tip, that is also very applicable for cross-country mountain biking.
Park Tool CN-10 Cable Cutter
In this article I will review Park Tool CN-10 Cable Cutter. A high quality cable cutter is a basic tool that every cyclist and home mechanic need to have in their toolbox. A couple of years ago I was able to get me this one for a bargain price, and it still cuts Jagwire cables like a knife through butter.
Hope Tech Grip Doctor – Bar End protection
In this article I will write down my thoughts about the Hope Tech Grip Doctor Bar End Protection plugs – Made in Barnoldswick, England. Hope is a well known high quality brand in the cycling industry with a wide range of high quality aftermarket components and accessories.
Mountain bike handlebars for a 29-er tend to have an internal diameter of around 22 mm. and the plugs that came with the ESI silicone grips have damaged relatively fast. And personally I don’t like the ESI branding on the black and blue set-up of the Scott Scale 925.
Muc-Off X3 Dirty Chain Machine
The Muc-Off X3 Dirty Chain Machine has been my preferred tool to clean the chains on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX roadbike and Scott Scale 925 mountain bike for many years. I use it with Muc-Off Bio Drivetrain Cleaner or Morgan Blue chain cleaner.
