If you’re like me, there’s nothing like sharing your love of bikes with the newest generation. But, if you’re also like me, you break into a small panic at the thought of your kids hitching a ride with you without top-of-the-line protection. And, up until now, the choices for little […]
We’ve been fans of Brooks’ Cambium range since it first launched a few years back, and we even selected the Cambium C13 one of the most comfortable saddles on the market. With their Cambium range growing, Brooks’ new All Weather (AW) versions of their popular C15 and C17 models are […]
Long, long ago. At an Interbike far, far away, we tried cutting an OTTOLOCK with bolt cutters. We put dents in the outer shell of the strappy lock, but we couldn’t cut through the kevlar reinforced, stainless steel layers. Impressive. Most impressive. Recently, OTTO got an update, and version two […]

We have spent hours of searching YouTube and other video services for funny bike videos. More hours than we care to admit–especially when we were supposed to be really nailing that last interval. But, hey, a little downtime never hurt anyone, right? So here we’ve got our top 20 favorite […]

Fix It Sticks: that’s code for innovation that won’t quit. Constantly outdoing themselves, the folks behind Fix It Sticks are like those cool guys who show up just when the party is starting to get lame, and they switch up the music to get everyone dancing again. Yes. Exactly like […]
You know that hub you’ve got laced to your wheels right now? It’s now officially lame thanks to Rotor’s newest release: RVOLVER™. Why, you ask? Basically RVOLVER™ works by disengaging the ratchet ring from the hub’s radial and angular pawls when you stop pedaling. In English, that means there’s a […]
Last year, we tested and loved Wilier’s GTR SL road bike, and became coverts to the Wilier crowd. If you remember our review, you know that Wilier is dedicated to quality and overall fastness, which was evident in the quick and ultra responsive GTR SL (which is on pretty sweet discount […]
Here’s hoping you’re not one of those squeamish peeps who can’t handle seeing brains and stuff. Because now we know our chief editor is a total weenie when it comes to slo-mo videos of crash dummy heads getting smacked around while wearing helmets. All heebie-jeebies aside, Kali has just released […]
Chris: I damaged the chain stay near the chain rings when the chain got wedged between the two (from the bottom up, not the top down). There is a “chip” missing from the carbon, no hole and no crack that I can see. What are my options for repair? Hey […]
Stephen: I have a pair of Speedplay Zero pedals, and I heard from a friend that I should put grease in them. How do I grease them? How often do I need to grease them? Oh, and what type of grease should I use? Hey Stephen. You’ve remind me of an […]
Tim: Hey Alpha Ninja! What are all the categorizations of the mountains in the Tour de France? I keep seeing numbers thrown around, but I don’t quite understand what they mean. Hey Tim: Welcome to the world’s most confusing question. OK, not that the basic classifications are confusing, but when […]
Matt: “I’m making the jump from workout shirts to a bike jersey, but I don’t know what size to buy. How should cycling jerseys fit? Do you have any recommendations for brands?” Cool. I like your question, Matt. Because it shows a couple of things: you’ve got guts, and you […]
