In this article I will review the Fizik Arione R1 Versus Evo Carbon Braided Saddle, for the new Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8.0 Di2. The Fizik Arione has been my preferred saddle series for many years, but it feels like Fizik is slowly discontinuing this line, and focusing on all the new adaptive saddles with the 3D honey comb structure (like other saddle brands) .

Selle Italia Flite Boost X-Cross TI 316 Superflow Saddle
In this article I will share my experiences with the Selle Italia Flite Boost X-Cross TI 316 Superflow Saddle in color grey that I use on my Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 1-by gravel bike. I’m using the S3 version with a saddle width of 135 mm. (while the L3 version has a width of 145 mm.) on top of the Canyon Ergon S15 VCLS 2.0 27.2mm CF Seatpost.
Pirelli RoadTube – Butyl Inner tube
In this article I will share my view about the Pirelli Roadtube, a lightweight butyl inner tube from Pirelli for disc and rim brakes. For Alpe d’HuZes 2025 I’ve opted for Pirelli P Zero Race TT Road tires and replaced the TPU inner tubes for the Pirelli Road Tubes.

Pirelli P Zero Race TT Road tire review
In this article I will share my experiences so far of the Pirelli P-Zero Race TT road tire that I’ve put on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 9.0 for Alpe d’HuZes 2025. I just wanted to try something new to see how these tires compare against Specialized S-Woks Turbo T2/T5 tires.
Alpitude Cornetto carbon chain catcher
In this article I will review the Alpitude Cornetto Carbon Chain Catcher, with a total weight of 5 grams. The Cornetto Carbon Chain Catcher is an alternative for the Carbonic Stummer Eugen, which is not available anymore. So let me try to compare.
Schmolke TLO – Lightweight Carbon Bottle Cage
In this article I will review the Schmolke TLO lightweight carbon bottle cage for the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8.0 Di2. While I’m very please with the Tune Wassertrager 2.0 water bottle cages, I wanted something else and the weightweenie in me started some research.
C-Bear BB86/BB92 Ceramic Bottom Bracket PF41–AC for All Conditions
In this article I will look at the C-Bear BB86/BB92 Ceramic Bottom Bracket PF41-AC for all conditions. It is a press fit BB86/BB92 bottom bracket for Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II cranks on a Canyon Grizl CF SL8 1by gravel bike. Unfortunately the default Token Ninja BB4124PS bottom bracket started making funny noises.
Finally I will compare this PF41-AC all condition C-Bear Ceramic Bottom Bracket with the C-Bear Ceramic Bottom Bracket for BB86/BB92 PF41 with R (road) ceramic bearings, in the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX.
