Pro Brand Bike Gear is a division of Shimano offering a wide range of components and accessories. (they even make a travel bag – news to me). Looking to try the streamlined Pro Mini Tool 22, I requested one to try out. With 22 functions, Pro manages to pack a lot of punch into a […]
RockyMounts Driveshaft HM Bolt-On Thru Axle Bike Mount
The problem with most rack mounts for securing bikes in the back of a truck or van is how much of a pain they can be. Threading an axle through while balancing a fork can be challenging with cold hands. And between the various axle widths standards and diameters, you’ll need spare mounts in the […]
SDG JR Pro Kit: Outfitting the Next Generation of Riders
Kid’s bikes have traditionally been heavy and poorly assembled, spec’d with low end components from adult-size bikes paired with smaller wheels and frames made using low end materials. In the last few years though, select manufacturers have stepped up to provide better quality bikes which have allowed young riders to progress on quality equipment. Many […]
First Rides: Pearl Izumi WRX Jacket and Summit AmFIB Lite Pant
I hate being cold, whether its on the bike or on the couch. Winter is coming, and with days already short, our efforts have been to acclimate to darker and colder outlook. Lucky for me, reps for Pearl sent over the Summit AmFIB Pant, Pearl’s warmest MTB pant, with more ample time to prepare for […]
This Belt is a Multi-Tool: Fix All Time Belt Review
We like wearing belts and never leave the house without one. The Fix All Time belt adds a heap of utility to the traditional belt by integrating a useful multitool into a unique buckle they call the Payload Pocket. Wearing the Fix belt means you’ll always have a tool on you for minor bike adjustments […]
Garage Upgrades: Feedback Sports Alpine Scale and Tool Tray
Do you need to know how much your bike weighs? Maybe not, but light bikes are easier to move around, which can make them more fun. Plus, when it comes to dialing in a home bike shop, an accurate weight scale like the Feedback Sports Alpine Scale is a nice addition to any workshop. The Alpine […]
Skek Cycling Lifeboat Tire Lever
A lot of us carry a bit of sealant on long rides. I usually add a Leatherman tool or something with a needle nose plier so I can remove the valve core in the field. The Skek Cycling Lifeboat Tire Lever solves this problem, integrating a tubeless valve core remover into the tire lever. Featuring […]
Review: Fizik M3B Uomo MTB Shoes
Last year the folks at Fizik changed my perception of XC specific MTB shoes with the M6B Uomo MTB shoes. A pairing of utility and performance, the utilitarian model is set at a reasonable price point. More importantly, they were light, durable and comfortable, transferring power through the entire foot as opposed to through one […]
Lezyne Flow Storage Cage
Side load bottle cages allow easy access to bottles, even in frames with a snug fit. Lezyne’s Flow Storage Cage adds an integrated storage container below the cage, plus adds two CO2 cartridge holders to both side of the cage. Available with and without the storage cage loaded kit, the Flow Storage Cage sells for […]
Winter is Coming: Pant Options for Wet and Cold Winter Bike Riding
Whether you’re a casual or hardcore commuter, road rider or trail rider, it can be hard to motivate when the skies turn dark and gray. Personally, I can handle being wet or cold, but I hate being wet and cold. This year though, I’m going to go back to trying my luck with riding pants. […]
Craftsman Tools
Craftsman tools have been a staple in any work shop for years, including bike specific work benches, but they’ve never offered a line of cycling specific tools. The tool company had a presence at Crankworx in Whistler suggesting that new product is gestating. The booth showcased the brand’s latest toolsets, impact and drill drivers, with […]
What Size MTB Do I Buy? MTB Sizing Angst, Explored
Buying the correct size mountain bike used to be easy. For me, being near an average height of 5’10”, a size medium bike was generally the right choice — sometimes. It turns out at 5’10”, I fall between a medium and large for a number of brands size recommendations. It’s been a struggle at times […]
