In this article I will review the IceToolz Cassette Lockring Tool with 12 mm Guide Pin. I first noticed the IceToolz Lockring Tool in a Mapdec Cycle Works YouTube video: “Pro Tools you need as a home mechanic.”
I will share my experiences of installing a 12-speed Shimano Deore XT M8100 cassette on a microspline body of the DT Swiss XM 1700 Spline wheels. In addition I will do a brief comparison with my Shimano lock ring tool that I have been using since ages.
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Morgan Blue Bike Wash in a 1l bottle (1000 ml.) It is a great addition to the Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner (or Muc-Off Punk Powder Bike Cleaner).
It is a great deviation from a standard Berner X-in-1 fresh & shine car soap that I used to wash off my bikes.
In this article I will review the Weldtite TF2 Lithium Grease for all purpose use. The TF2 Lithium grease was advised by the Prototipo Works team, to tighten the PrototipoWorks Ultra Low Bidon Cage bolts.
It is a great addition to my home mechanic workshop next to the Morgan Blue Aquaproof Paste and Motorex Bikegrease 2000.
In this article I will review the Cyclotech Endura Centerlock Disc Brake Rotor, which I’ve purchased through mtb-brakepads.nl (together with Cyclotech Brake Pads and some small parts). I was tipped by this brand and local shop by long term cycling friend Philipp Gante.
Fibre Lyte Gear Mech Plate is a cool tuning part, available for all major Shimano, Sram and Campagnolo rear-derailleurs. Gear Mech Plates from Fibre Lyte are available for road bikes and mountain bikes.
In this article I will show you the design and installation of the FL Gear Mech Plate for Shimano Dura Ace 9000 rear derailleur.
In this article I will share my thoughts and experience with CeraBike Pedals & Cleats that keeps my Speedplay Zero cleats lubricated and operating smoothly.
Perhaps you can recall my CeraBike Wax Lube review from 2016. After that CeraBike has significantly expanded their product portfolio.
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.
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.
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.
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.
