The latest version of the Pro Bikegear Vibe Stem has clever designed internal channels for routing the cables of Shimano DI2 integration.
The Vibe Stem from Pro Bikegear has been the preferred stem on the Pinarello Dogma K10 bikes from Team Sky in the Tour de France 2017.
In this article I will review the Prototipo Works (Ultra) Low Bidon Cage Bolts that keep the Elite Rocko Carbon water bottle cages secure on my Scott Scale 925 mountain bike. I will furthermore try to compare the Prototipo Works bolts with the titanium bolts I’ve used with the Tune Wassertrager 2.0 cages on my Canyon Roadbike.
Finally I’ll have a look as other Prototipo Works products like the under flush bolts, Presta to Schrader Valve Adaptor and Alloy Presta Valve Caps.
In this article I will share my thoughts about the Peaty’s x Chris King MK2 Tubeless Valves that I run on the Syncros wheels and DT Swiss M1700 spline wheels with Tubeless Ready Vittoria tires on them. I will try to compare for a bit with DT Swiss Tubeless Valve for MTB and some more basic Hutchinson tubeless vales.
Garmin Edge Mount Viber for the PRO Bikegear Vibe Stem is a lightweight 17 gram holder for Garmin Edge or Wahoo Elemnt Bolt computers. It is based on a the Team Sky prototype which we’ve seen in the Tour de France 2017.
The Mount Viber will be compared against the alternative K-Edge mount the PRO Bikegear Vibe Stem – Handlebar combination.
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 Cyclotech Endura Centerlock Disc Brake Rotor, which I’ve purchased through mtb-brakepads.nl (together with Cyclotech Brake Pads and some small parts). I was tipped by this brand and local shop by long term cycling friend Philipp Gante.
Fibre Lyte Gear Mech Plate is a cool tuning part, available for all major Shimano, Sram and Campagnolo rear-derailleurs. Gear Mech Plates from Fibre Lyte are available for road bikes and mountain bikes.
In this article I will show you the design and installation of the FL Gear Mech Plate for Shimano Dura Ace 9000 rear derailleur.
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 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.
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.
