In this article I will review the Alugear Aero Boost Chainring for Shimano Direct Mount, which is one of the very few aero chainrings for a mountain bike. I’m riding a Rotor no-Q Aero chainring on my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX 8 and a Wolf Tooth Aero Chainring for Shimano GRX 820 on the Canyon CF SL 8 gravel bike.

Works Components GEO Chainring for Shimano Direct Mount
In this article I will chare my thoughts on the Works Components Geo Chainring for Shimano Direct Mount. Beautifully designed “honey-comb-like” structure, that looks awesome on a Shimano Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crankset. The Shimano TL-FC41 Tool can be used to install this Direct Mount Chainring.
Wahoo Garmin Quarter Turn Mount Adapter
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Wahoo Garmin Quarter Turn Mount Adapter for Wahoo Elemnt and Wahoo Roam cycling computers. With the Quarter Turn Mount Adapter you can use Wahoo devices on Garmin Mounts. And sometimes this is an accessory simply needed.
Kogel Bearings Shimano Crank Arm Fixing Bolt
In this article I will review the Kogel Bearings Shimano Crank Arm Fixing Bolt, or as Shimano calls it the crank arm cap or pre-load cap. Default Shimano uses plastic versions of this component Y0N500025. For the Dura Ace 9000 cranks I’ve exchanged it with a grey anodized Wheelsmfg FIX-BOLT-1 from 6061 aluminum. The Kogel Bearings Crank Arm Fixing Bolt will go on the Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crank arm (with 4iiii power meter).
Wolf Tooth Aero Chainring for Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II Cranks
In this article I will review the Wolf Tooth Aero Chainring for Shimano GRX 820 Hollowtech II cranks on the Canyon CF SL 8 gravel bike. It is a 46T Aero chainring, and one of the very few Aero chain rings available for gravel bikes. The only other brand with an Aero chainring for gravel is Alugear.
CrankBrothers Shoe Shields for Sidi Drako 2
In this article I will share my thoughts on the Crankbrothers Shoe Shields, protector shims for the SRS Carbon Soles of the Sidi Drako 2 mountain bike shoes. I’m using the Shimano SM-SH51 SPD cleats that connect the Sidi Drako 2 shoes with Shimano XTR PD-M9100 SPD Pedals on the Scott Scale 925.
C-Bear OCM Ceramic Pulley Wheels Shimano GRX-RD-820 12-speed
In this article I will review the C-Bear OCM Ceramic Pulley Wheels for Shimano GRX-RD-820 12-speed rear derailleur on the Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 1-by. On the Canyon Ultimate CF SLX I’m also running a pair of ceramic pulley wheels.
Wolf Tooth LoneWolf Aero Chainguide review
In this article I will review the Wolf Tooth LoneWolf Aero Chainguide that will support my 1x 12 speed Shimano GRX RX-820 set-up for the Canyon Grizl CF SL8 1by gravel bike. On all my bikes I’m using a chain catcher, simply because a damaged frame will easily justify the investment of a proper chain guide.
Vibe Stem with Shimano DI2 integration from PRO Bikegear
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.
Prototipo Works Ultra Low Bidon Cage Bolt
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.
