For years, I haven’t had to buy much of my own cycling kit. I’ve been fortunate enough to be provided with a number different jerseys and bib shorts. Sigma Sport used Castelli for their staff kit. FulGaz used Pedal Mafia and more recently Santini. In my search for the “perfect” form-fitting aero inspired cycling kit…

Panda Power: The Chinese Bike Build! (Quick Pro ER:One)
It’s been a while since I had a proper bike build series here so I think it’s time for a new one! Not that I really need a new bike, but at the Tour Down Under my lovely wife pointed out that I was the only one still riding a rim-brake bike and wondered why….
Three things I learned from waxing my chain
I did it. I entered the world of chain waxing! After purchasing all of the equipment and a handful of new chains, I got to work prepping and waxing chains for my gravel bike. Why the gravel bike? For no other reason than that’s the bike I’ve been riding a lot recently (it’s winter here)….
Virtual Running on Zwift in 2022

Garmin VARIA RCT715: The all-in one rear camera, light and radar combo is here!
It’s the device I’ve been waiting YEARS for somebody (read: Garmin) to release! An all-in-one rear facing camera, light and radar unit. Previously if you wanted a single device, you’ve been limited to either a “light + radar” or a “light + camera” option (essentially, the old VARIA Radar or the Cycliq Fly6 Camera). The new Garmin VARIA Radar RCT715 has been floating around under “non disclosure” for a little while now, but has finally gone public. All the usual trusted cycling internet reviewers released their thoughts in unison over the last 24 hours.
