I wrote an article for Lava Magazine earlier this year about a quest to find two more seconds in a 3 Km pursuit – a race that is over in just three and half minutes long. Now that the season is over, I can summarize the results of my efforts to gain these two seconds….
A version of this article was first printed in the April 2016 issue of I just finished my afternoon bike fitting. While the shop is closing for the night soon, I find myself assembling a new aerobar for my track bike. Testing shows this aerobar is faster than my existing aerobar, but I plan on…
Whether you are a road cyclist looking to go off-road in the New England area or an advanced mountain bike racer looking to conquer the XC racing scene, the Felt Edict 3 likely offers you a good answer to the question of how to become a better mountain bike rider. The Northshore of MA lacks…
Manchester, England This year’s trip to track worlds was different in a number of ways. For one, my travel was smooth and my bike arrived with me so I was off to better start already. I had lots of time to think about my race, and there’s both good and bad that comes with that….
Cervelo P5X Review. The Ultimate Tri Bike? The Cervelo P5X takes a radical departure from what most companies are doing with tri bikes. By eliminating the seatstays, the Cervelo P5X frame design goes back to the future; the Cervelo P5X is the first tri bike from a mainstream tri bike company that offers the significant…

While doing some research for a client recently on new tire options, I came across some data on the Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tire…
The SRAM Red eTap electronic shift system, while technically “available” since early ‘16, was in very short supply for much of the ’16 season and almost impossible to get. Thankfully, SRAM has now begun to produce this system in higher volumes, and availability has improved greatly. I have just finished building our two bikes equipped…
A few months ago we posted an article about the new Cervelo C5, Cervelo’s top-of-the-line entrant in the hydraulic disc brake endurance/adventure bike sweepstakes, and we mentioned that there was soon to be a lower priced Cervelo C3 model available. Well, we now have had a substantial number of Cervelo C3’s pass through the…
Cervelo C5 = High Performance All Road Bike For some time Cervelo has teased us with pictures and information about their new disc brake endurance/adventure bikes labeled as its “C” line of bikes, comprised of the Cervelo C5 and the Cervelo C3. We first saw the Cervelo C5 last summer at Brainbike (Cervelo’s dealer training weekend)…
Why the Moots Vamoots RSL? I’ve owned a number of titanium and titanium/carbon bikes through the years and we like to have at least one metal bike built up light in the shop. Why? Just to show that carbon isn’t the only game in town and because the acceleration and climbing feel on a light bike…
Just some eye candy in the form of a no-nonsense caliper brake equipped Moots RSL road bike with Campagnolo Super Record, Reynolds RZR wheels, THM brakes and some other goodies that we just built. We’ll try to have a full overview/review soon on this bike. In the interim, who says metal bikes are heavy or that the traditional…
This is a great race on an excellent course in the closed off Myles Standish State Park in Plymouth. There were about 60 of us lined up at the start, and we’d ride 8 laps of the 5-mile course which is lightly rolling. Both lanes are closed to traffic(most of the time) which is nice….
