Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
I recently swapped in a Specialized S-Works Power Crank on my bike. This video provides an overview of my thoughts on the crankset and power meter. There will be a later video which looks at the accuracy and performance of the power meter specifically.…
When Wahoo said “by end of year” when asked about support for ANT+ Radar (Varia), I assumed that meant the firmware would drop on December 31st (or thereabouts). But, fortunately for Wahoo users who want the added safety and assurance that a radar device provides, they can actually use the feature today. No official firmware notes have been released, so it’s not clear what else was added (light control doesn’t appear to…
Following up on one the suggested solutions to my earlier road tubeless puncture issue. I tried out the Rema Tip Top patches and glue. Thanks to everyone who commented with a suggestion around how to fix the tire.…
There are quite a few options for fitting a 24mm Shimano crank in a BB30 bike frame. I chose the Wheels Manufacturing angular contact bottom bracket because of its ease of installation and perceived quality.…

I recently discovered two tools that make it much easier to setup hydraulic disc brakes on my bike.…

Or just a collection of bike parts, using a strange carbon fiber hanging/storage mechanism? Not that it really matters, because the point of this post is to highlight the experience I had with Canyon USA’s customer service, it got complicated… First off, have…
I was quite excited about the potential after stumbling across the Lezyne Tubeless Repair Kit. Price was right, and if it worked would have been just the thing to sit in the space between sealant-does-its-thing, and put-in-a-tube. Unfortunately, that turned out to not be the case.…
Every pedal needs to be serviced eventually. The XPEDO R-FORCE 6 is probably a bit higher on the frequency scale though because of its small size and minimal design. There’s really only one tricky bit, and it took me a little while to figure it out.…
