Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
The top BOA dials on my cycling shoes recently stopped working correctly, so I started looking at how to replace them. While Specialized will sell you a new set, BOA actually has an a fantastic replacement policy.…
It’s really hard to pick a tubeless sealant for your road tires. There are so many options, and much of the guidance out there is aimed at the MTB crowd. With around 2000 miles on my tubeless setup, it was time to capture my thoughts on Muc-Off’s No Puncture Tubeless Sealant.…
I love it when a company takes feedback, and simply makes a better product. It appears that Bryton has done exactly that with the just announced Rider 420 cycling computer.

If you have any interest in aerodynamics, and not just in relation to cycling, this video by Hambini (PhD in aerodynamics) is fantastic stuff. Fair warning, some might find some of the content dry, or abrasive, but I thought it was great. Enjoy.…
The Orucase SB25 & SB30 are just a bit different, 5 cubic inches of difference to be precise. Good price, size, weight, and attachment mechanism. Just wish there were more interesting colors, and Orucase’s claimed fit was accurate.…
