It's been a long time since a wrote a review of something. Probably because I've had nothing new to talk about but this time I do. I decided to buy a pair of these just before I went to Aberfoyle, Scotland recently. I had a new bike and to be honest my current Northwave's were … Continue reading REVIEW: Carnac Grit Shoes
When you ride, it's important to be able to stop. My Ribble CGR has just not been performing recently. I've had a consistent front brake pad contamination problem which eventually led me to just replacing the whole brake and lever recently. Even then the brake performance gain was only marginal. I've been off the bike … Continue reading Hola! New pads and discs
I've just got back from a 100min+ ride in 4 degs, with a wind chill probably taking it down to about 1 or 2 degs, maybe lower in parts. I was warm and comfortable.

On Tuesday I actually go back to a place of work. No more working from home. After the recent debacle at work, some time off now has allowed me to reflect on the machine I had become and how burnt out and drained I was. It took me a week off to kind of come … Continue reading Dress Rehearsal
Having worn out my beloved Schwalbe One tyres last season, I'd stuck on a set of Serfas Seca RS last winter which I used to sell in my shop. Great all-round tyres but markedly slower. I craved some more speed after spending lockdown reviewing rolling resistance's, watts, aero testing video's and anecdotal reviews from riders … Continue reading Continental GP 5000 tyres : First Impressions
