GORE Summer 2022 Kit: Quick Review
As for the Fernflow Shorts, these are the best so far for gravel bike rides and I think they would be quite good for adventure and bikepacking outings. Now, the Lupra is a viable garment for me, as I am not so interested in wet weather protection.
Ritchey WCS Skyline Saddle: Quick Review
Ritchey components can tend to fall under the radar, but I have seldom been disappointed in one.
Ergon BT Gravel Handlebar Tape: Quick Review
Ergon has done a smashing job of providing gravel/allroad riders with a tape that has grip, looks great, (as long as you are in to the earthy color palette), and provides some vibration damping.
Sportful Super Giara Puffy Short Sleeve and Hot Pack Easylight Jacket: Quick Review
During my talks with Sportful, they asked if there was anything else I wanted to try. And I thought of the times I went into my closet and reached for a lightweight jacket, not a rain piece…no, just a simple piece, almost like a vest with arms.
Craft Cadence Top Tube Bag: Quick Review
The season for gravel events is getting started now, and we’ve got a review of something useful for you from Craft Cadence in their new Top Tube Bag that might make those events a bit more pleasant.
Polar Breakaway Bottles: Quick Review
While bottles for your bicycle are not one of those things you might think about as being important – They are ‘just water bottles’, after all- These utilitarian devices for cyclists are a detail that could be a key part of a successful run at your next event.
Scoutset Bag Brace: Quick Review
The Scoutset Bag Brace is a unique, titanium device which stabilizes and carries bags (or maybe even other light loads) well with a simple clamp which takes the place of a steer tube spacer on a threadless steer tube set up. It makes a bicycle with no front rack mount capabilities into a front load carrying bike, or it could be that perfect stabilization device for the bike packer using a large handle bar roll.
GORE C5 GTX Thermo Jacket: Quick Review
What don’t I like? It’s black and that scares me a bit for daytime use on trafficked roads although it sure looks good. And at my age, I need all the sexy I can get. But not DEAD sexy.
Lead Out Bags: Quick Review
A hundy gets you a couple of bags from a small US company looking to make a dent in the industry, seemingly off to a good start.
Topeak Gravel Gear Bag: Quick Review
Just what the heck is this thing? It has straps like a frame bag, but it isn’t really a frame bag, or a bag at all. It has elements of a tool roll, but it doesn’t go under your saddle. It is shaped like an overgrown wallet, but the permanently attached front strap kind of takes it out of that category.
