In this article I will write down my experiences with the CORE Body Temperature Monitor and the CORE App for Google Android as complete and accurate as possible.
This relative new sensor is seen on the World Tour road racing level and also with other professional athletes on their way to the hot and humid Tokyo Olympics in 2021. But also Filippo Ganna and Team INEOS used the CORE sensor to beat the UCI Hour Record.
This article is a short review of the CEMA Bearing Full Ceramic pulley wheels. I will try to compare these against stock Dura Ace 9000 pulley wheels, but I don’t have a friction facts laboratory setup at home. So it will be an in-depth look and feature comparison.
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Carbonice Stummer Eugen chain catcher and compare it with the Canyon chain catcher that I’ve used over the past couple of years. Both chain catchers differ significantly in used material, assembly on your road bike and for the weightweenies among us the chain catcher weight.

In this article I will briefly look at the design and compare it with the original Shimano crank fixing bolt.
