After huge amounts of anticipation, we have received our first SRAM eTap wireless road and TT shifting groups. While SRAM eTap currently is only available for caliper brakes and offers a 11-28 as the largest cassette options, we know SRAM will be adding to their offerings over the next few seasons. In the meantime, SRAM…
I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a weight weenie when it comes to my bicycles. My road bikes usually weigh 15 lbs or less, my Moots Rogue YBB mountain bike is about 22 lbs, and the full suspension mountain bike I’m planning at the moment will be in the 25 lbs range. This being…

2016 CAMPAGNOLO EPS V3 – CONNECTIVITY WITH ITALIAN ELEGANCE At the EuroBike industry exposition last fall, Campagnolo announced some changes to its EPS electronic shifting system.

Well, there can be a number of causes. • If the hole through the frame’s bottom bracket is not absolutely perpendicular to the frame, then the crank axle will be slightly angled. That angled crank passes through bearings that are…
Note: In this article, I will refer to the road based Praxis Works Turn Zayante crankset, but most everything applies equally to the mountain based Girder crank as well. One Crank to Rule them All The plethora of bottom bracket “standards” and cranks on the market has created a great deal of confusion and compatibility…

Fellow New England based cycling company Parlee Cycles has recently released the Chebacco, a new entry into the burgeoning Adventure (gravel road) bike market. We can’t help but think there is a better name. No, the bike is not named after the hairy alien star of a popular Sci-Fi movie series – although spell check…
