Categories

• Accessories

  Reviews of cycling accessories—mounts, saddles, and other bits. Tested on weight-weenie builds in the Colorado mountains.

• Brakes

  How much braking power are you actually giving up to save 20 grams? Caliper reviews after riding them down real mountains.

• Cassettes

  Cassette reviews covering weight, shifting, durability, and value across Shimano and AliExpress options.

• Chainrings

  Chainring reviews from carbon to aluminum. Shift quality, durability, and real weight savings after thousands of miles.

• Components

  The small stuff that adds up. Axles, bolts, and other parts most people never think to swap.

• Cranks

  Crankarm reviews and comparisons. Stiffness, weight, compatibility, and long-term durability on lightweight builds.

• First Ride

  First impressions of new parts and gear. Initial weight, fit, and ride feel before the long-term review.

• Handlebars

  Handlebar reviews covering weight, comfort, and compliance. Carbon and alloy options tested on climbs and rough roads.

• Pedals

  Ultralight pedals that actually hold up, and a few that didn't. Bearings, weight, and whether they're still spinning after a couple seasons.

• Reviews

  Long-term product reviews with real mileage. No sponsorships—just honest takes after putting in the miles.

• Rotors

  Disc brake rotor reviews after thousands of real miles. Weight, braking performance, noise, and whether they're worth the price.

• Saddles

  Boutique and mainstream saddles compared. Finding the right shape matters more than saving 30 grams, but ideally you get both.

• Training

  Training logs, recovery timelines, and performance data from an elite-level cyclist. Real numbers, no fluff.

• Wheels

  Wheelset reviews focused on weight, durability, and value. From budget carbon to boutique builds, tested on real rides.
