This article is a short review of the CEMA Bearing Full Ceramic pulley wheels. I will try to compare these against stock Dura Ace 9000 pulley wheels, but I don’t have a friction facts laboratory setup at home. So it will be an in-depth look and feature comparison.

Carbonice Stummer Eugen chain catcher
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Carbonice Stummer Eugen chain catcher and compare it with the Canyon chain catcher that I’ve used over the past couple of years. Both chain catchers differ significantly in used material, assembly on your road bike and for the weightweenies among us the chain catcher weight.
Tune Wasserträger 2.0 Carbon Bottle Cage review
Tune Wasserträger 2.0 is a lightweight carbon water bottle cage of only 9 grams, that perfectly suits the stealth look of my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX road-bike. The Tune Wasserträger 2.0 comes with aluminum bolts and has a black tune logo on it. For a reasonable price-point you get a Tune branded water bottle with the bottle cage as well.
Shimano Quick Link SM-CN900-11 review
The Shimano Quick Link SM-CN900-11 is the Shimano alternative for the KMC MissingLink, SRAM PowerLock and their previous solution the Shimano Chain Connecting Pin. In this article I will briefly look at the design and search for differences (if applicable).
Wheelsmfg FIX-BOLT-1 for Shimano Dura Ace 9000
Sometimes small details on your road bike make a big difference. The Wheelsmfg FIX-BOLT-1 replaces the black plastic crank arm fixing bolt for Shimano Dura Ace 9000 with a grey anodized 6061 aluminium version. The Wheels Manufacturing crank fixing bolt is compatible with other Shimano HollowTech II crank-sets as well.
In this article I will briefly look at the design and compare it with the original Shimano crank fixing bolt.
Rotor Aero noQ Chainring for Shimano Dura Ace 9000
Early the 2020 season I wrecked my Dura Ace 9000 outer chainring due to a chain-suck and replaced it with the Rotor Aero noQ chainring, 4-arm, 110 mm bolt circle diameter.
I will share my thoughts so far and have a look at the design details of the Rotor chainring, decision reasoning and installation on the Dura Ace 9000 cranks.
C-Bear Ceramic Bottom Bracket for BB86/BB92
C-Bear is the official sponsor of the Lotto Soudal cycling Team since 2009, providing riders like Andre Greipel and Thomas De Gendt with ceramic bottom brackets and -derailleur pulleys. If a C-Bear bottom bracket is good enough to withstand the Gorilla’s power peaks during sprints, than it is certainly good enough for me.
