In this article I will review the Selle Italia X-LR Air Cross TM Superflow S saddle that I use on the Scott Scale 925. I changed the brown Syncros saddle with the Selle Italia because it is very close to the Fizik Arione Versus Braided saddle I’m riding on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX road-bike.
The Air Cross Superflow in size S is a cyclocross specific saddle with a downward pointing saddle nose tip, that is also very applicable for cross-country mountain biking.
In this article I will review Park Tool CN-10 Cable Cutter. A high quality cable cutter is a basic tool that every cyclist and home mechanic need to have in their toolbox. A couple of years ago I was able to get me this one for a bargain price, and it still cuts Jagwire cables like a knife through butter.
In this article I will write down my thoughts about the Hope Tech Grip Doctor Bar End Protection plugs – Made in Barnoldswick, England. Hope is a well known high quality brand in the cycling industry with a wide range of high quality aftermarket components and accessories.
Mountain bike handlebars for a 29-er tend to have an internal diameter of around 22 mm. and the plugs that came with the ESI silicone grips have damaged relatively fast. And personally I don’t like the ESI branding on the black and blue set-up of the Scott Scale 925.
The Muc-Off X3 Dirty Chain Machine has been my preferred tool to clean the chains on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX roadbike and Scott Scale 925 mountain bike for many years. I use it with Muc-Off Bio Drivetrain Cleaner or Morgan Blue chain cleaner.
In this article I will review the Morgan Blue Extra Dry Lube that I now use during the autumn and winter season with the Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. I will try to compare my experiences with the Spoke Works Smoove, Cerabike Wax Lube and the Wolf Tooth WT-1 Chain Lube.
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Park Tool Emergency Tire Boot TB-2 patches, that have secured a place in the Craft Cadence Essentials Case when riding my Canyon road bike or Scott Scale 925 mountain bike.
On the road I’m riding a normal folding tire, non-disc wheelsystem, while on the mountainbike it is a tubeless ready centerlock disc wheel system.
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Tune Schraubwürger Seatpost Clamp on my Scott Scale 925, that replaced the stock Syncros quick release seatpost clamp.
Tune has always been a high quality German brand for the weightweenies, but here it is the combination of weight, price-point and engineering.
In this article I will review the Shimano Dual Rain Shoe Covers CW-FABW-VS42U that I use in combination with the Sidi Drako 2 SRS Carbon Mountain Bike shoes. I will have a look at some of the design features, that are welcome for off-road use !
In this article I will share my view on the DT Swiss Tubeless Ready Rim tape that I used to replace the stock rim tape on my Scott Scale 925 mountain bike, that was damaged around the valve hole in the Syncros X-25 rim.
In this article I will share some thoughts on the Shimano Brake Pad Spacer with product number Y-8J709000. It is a cheap and simple but must have tool. Not only when travelling, but also when you are riding your indoor trainer.
