Over the winter, I decided to make an effort to commute by bike with some regularity during the riding season. My commute is about 45 miles round trip, and I live on top of a 800’ climb over the last couple miles. It is a good ride, but takes some time. I came into the…
We’re pretty excited about Parlee’s latest engineering creation – the Parlee RZ7 aero road bike. Why? For some of the reasons we are excited about bikes like the 2019 Cervelo S3. Aero road bikes are improving markedly in terms of rider comfort, fit and versatility. They are also becoming a bit easier to work on…

The company was very arguably the first dedicated triathlon specific bike company; they played a major role inventing what we now think of as the modern triathlon bike. Always based in offering high value parts for the dollar, QR has been a player…
A number of years ago, Zipp sold their carbon bicycle rims to shops so that custom wheels could be built. However, Zipp stopped this and only sold complete wheels from the factory. This meant that if you wanted a pair of Zipp rims on any other hub, you had to buy a complete wheelset and…
