When I got a Scott Scale 925 mountain bike with a Fox 32 allround cross country suspension fork, I purchased the Brunox Deo for suspension forks to keep the fork seals protected and the workhorse suspension fork operating smoothly in the muddy winter season (in the Netherlands).
I’ve added a Fox Transfer Dropper Post to the bike set-up and keep the sliding post operating smoothly as well with Brunox Deo für die Federgabel.
In this article I will share my tasting experience with Koersprêt Special Beer and share a very cool background story of how beer brewing, cycling and friendship are the foundation of Koersprêt. Koersprêt is founded by Misael van Leeuwen and Peter Koning.
Koersprêt has 4 different special beers to offer: Gangmaker (Bubbly Blonde), Snok (Twisty Tripple), Bunny Hop (Fruity IPA) and Waaier (Wavy White Beer).
In this article I will review the Unior Tools Hub Genie with product# 627272 for 15 and 12 mm thru axle hubs. I’ve used the Hub Genie to remove the endcaps safely of DT Swiss 350 Hubs, that drive the DT Swiss XM 1700 Spline wheels on my Scott Scale.
Hub Genie from Unior Tools simply doesn’t damage the surface of the endcaps, compared to the use of a pipe wrench (for example Knipex Cobra) with a piece of cloth.
In this article I will review the CyclOn Chain Keeper that I can put on the 12 mm thru axle while cleaning the Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. A good quality chain keeper is an essential tool for every serious cyclist who needs to clean or transport his bike (no matter, road bike, mountain bike or gravel bike).
CyclOn is a respectable brand that is providing alternatives to Morgan Blue, Dynamic Bike Care, Muc-Off, Weldtite and others. So let’s have a look at the details below.
In this article I will review the Futurum 4 seasons II Merino Cycling Socks. I’m very pleased with the Futurum 4 Seasons thermoshirt (with long and short sleeves) that are my go to base layer when hiking. So having a pair of Merino cycling socks for the autumn and winter period was the goal. I will try to compare with my Assos and GripGrab socks in terms of fit and warmth.
In this article I will have a look at the RideNow TPU Inner Tubes for Road and MTB. I’m honestly surprised by the low weight, the low volume and with a reasonable price-point. I have been using Continental Race 28 (700C or 20-622) with 42 mm presta valves for a long time. Patrick Gante, thanks for the tip !
In this article I will review the Sidi Rubber Heel Replacement for Carbon Soles of the Sidi Wire SP shoes. It was time to put a pair of new replaceable heel pads on the 2015 Sidi Wire SP shoes (in 2023). So after 8 years of time I needed to purchase some spare parts, and extend the life of my road bike slippers.
In this article I will review the IceToolz Cassette Lockring Tool with 12 mm Guide Pin. I first noticed the IceToolz Lockring Tool in a Mapdec Cycle Works YouTube video: “Pro Tools you need as a home mechanic.”
I will share my experiences of installing a 12-speed Shimano Deore XT M8100 cassette on a microspline body of the DT Swiss XM 1700 Spline wheels. In addition I will do a brief comparison with my Shimano lock ring tool that I have been using since ages.
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Morgan Blue Bike Wash in a 1l bottle (1000 ml.) It is a great addition to the Muc-Off Nano Tech Bike Cleaner (or Muc-Off Punk Powder Bike Cleaner).
It is a great deviation from a standard Berner X-in-1 fresh & shine car soap that I used to wash off my bikes.
In this article I will review the Weldtite TF2 Lithium Grease for all purpose use. The TF2 Lithium grease was advised by the Prototipo Works team, to tighten the PrototipoWorks Ultra Low Bidon Cage bolts.
It is a great addition to my home mechanic workshop next to the Morgan Blue Aquaproof Paste and Motorex Bikegrease 2000.
