Revgrips – a different take on grips Do you really need a new kind of grip? Well, maybe. I have Dupuytren’s (don’t ask how to pronounce that) which apparently proves I have some Viking DNA! Annoyingly it also causes weird lumpiness in the palms which can make fingers bend at the ends as it develops. I’ve avoided that bit…
We Are One Composites Convert rims on Industry 9 Hydra hubs I’ve been riding the Convert rims for seven months at the time of posting. They handle medium-large to plus tyres & take a recommended range of 2.5 to 3.0″ tyres. Internal width is 35mm. Most off-road riding is covered with models for gravel to downhill. Aren’t carbon rims…
New (or new-ish) MTB Stuff Pipdream Moxie | Starling Murmur | MSC Tyres | CushCore Tyre Inserts | Smoove Chain Lube | Wolf Tooth Components | PNW Components | Revgrips | Stan’s Dart | Pragmasis Security With the last post covering brands that have stood the test of time, it seemed to follow to cover some that are…
Long Term Brands at Chasing Trails This is the first post a good while, I got very out of the habit..! It’s not exactly a New Year’s resolution to start posting again, but it seemed a good time nonetheless. Starting the new decade I was considering what was appropriate and wondered if there any brands I’ve used for the…
Renthal Kevlar Lock-On Grips Extra-Long Term Review So, as I said in the previous long term review of these, there’s always a chance that manufacturer’s hype doesn’t quite live up to reality… However… I’ve now been running these grips for 2 years! They’re looking used now, but they’re still going & I can’t tell any difference in feel from…
Renthal Kevlar Lock-On Grips Long Term Review There’s not a lot to say about these that I haven’t said before, in the, er, long term review. However, you’ll notice that it was posted May 2015 after a year of use. It’s now Sept 2016 & although the diamond knurled pattern now looks smooth & they’ve slightly worn to my…
Race Ready Braking disc brake pads How well do they wear..? EDIT: First thing I should say is that I don’t go through brake pads that quick. Brake pad reviews have the potential to be extremely subjective as different riders seem to be heavier or lighter on the brakes and sometimes…
OneUP Components 42t (and 16t) Sprocket I’ve been on a 1×10 setup for quite a while now, probably a couple of years I think. However the 36t largest sprocket was a bit limiting. If I was race fit I’m guessing it would be plenty. This became apparent watching @GringoJimi disappear up a black climb at Dalby halfway down the…
