    Help to rebuild endurance

I love being on my bike and I could literally ride everyday huge amounts if my body would allow it. I...

    Buying a new wheelset

    Hey guys, I have been trying to do a bit of research myself, but I'm honestly still pretty confused and a bit of an idiot! I want to buy a new budget (£100-200) wheelset for my bike, but I'm unsure what would work with my bike frame (Ronson Atomic X, Reynolds 531), 7 speed cassette and...

    Best hardtail mountain bike under $1k

    Hey all, I've been a recreational mountain biker for all of my life and am currently in the market for what I would consider my first "serious" mountain bike. I've done a fair bit of research online but only visited the local cycle shop. The local shop got me interested in the Giant Talon 2...

    Advice on new road bike purchase

    I’ve been riding a Cannondale hybrid (which was my first real purchase) and am ready to move on to a real road bike at this point. I’m looking for some advice on where to look. My budget is about $400. I realize this is very small, which makes it all the more important to know where to look. I...

    Bike cam, gps, cycle computer device

    Hi! I'm part of a team that's making a device that's a bike camera, gps, and a cycle computer all rolled into one that mounts your handlebars. It would sync with your smartphone for the routes and would also automatically load the footage from your ride on an app on your smartphone. It would...

    This bike vs that bike?

    For the past two years I've been riding a pimped up Vita Sport from Specialized. It's not a bad bike by any means, but it was designed as a flat bar hybrid - not for a speed freak like me. Having swapped out the flat bar for drops, I figured that this would deal with the problem of wind-drag...
