V1 → V2 → V3. I’ve ridden all three Wahoo ELEMNT ROAMs and have thoughts on whether any of those upgrades were actually worth it. Spoiler: one was a tune-up, one was a leap. 🚴

Your bike doesn't need a $200 cleaning kit. It needs a process.

New post: the 12-step routine I use to clean & lube my ride — tools, products, and honest takes on what actually works. 🚲

A review of the #bicycle chain lubes I’ve been using lately. Muc-Off and Dumonde Tech go mano a mano! Two lubes enter, one lube leaves! Which lube will prevail? #cycling

GCN does a test on how tire width effects braking, giving us yet another reason to like wider tires. But will road cyclists overcome bias and agree? #cycling #bicycles

After a year of using the Wahoo ELEMNT Roam, it’s time to report on the good and the bad. Even a defective unit didn’t stop the Roam from being a good bike computer.

@rafaelraposo I’ve been very happy with my Spyre brakes compared to the stock ProMax Render brakes, which are indeed bad. Spyre’s are way better for sure. Definitely worth the upgrade. Hmm….might have to write a post about this. Maybe something about cable vs hydraulic brakes. :D

I'm committing a sacrilegious act in road cycling: I'm switching to flat pedals! Read on about the switch as well as a few reviews of some flat pedals. #cycling #bicycles #gravel

Gave in and got the Ritchey Beacon handlebars. In short: amazing bar that really needs wider versions available. Read my full review. #bicycles #cycling #gravel

@cuddle_lord I’ll be talking about that in a review of the Ritchey Beacon. Access to levers in the drops is greatly improved over the Salsa Cowchipper I was using before. No problem before…just better now with the new bar. 👍😁

[VeloNut @VeloNutCom]

Ritchey releases a new super-wide ergonomic handlebar called the Beacon. I end up giving in and getting a set to review. So...review coming soon! :P

I reviewed the Stages Gen 3 Single-Sided Power L Meter for my GRX cranks. Stages is changing things for the better! This crank-based power meter used to be expensive. Now it’s darn close to being considered entry-level. #cycling #bicycles
