Its been a while, but CeeGees cushy's are finally back in stock, along with several new models! For those who are unfamiliar with Cushy's, they are replacement armrest pads, tailor-made to fit their respective models of aerobars. Cushy pads are designed and engineered to outperform most original armrest pads. As bike fitters, we recommend Cushy's for the extra 'stack' which generally allows the use of less spacers. The soft and cushy feel minimises fatigue in shoulders, arms, neck and forearms, perfect for endurance athletes. Check out the new models: Cushy's For Boardman TTE Cushy's For Pinarello Graal Anura Cushy's For Profile F-35 TT...

  Just about everything we could ask for in carbon wheels except two things BikeRadar score: 4.5/5   BikeRadar verdict "An exceptional wheelset — stiff, light, good wet and dry braking — but there is no getting around the price"   Highs: Light, stiff, wide, aero but stable; great braking in the dry and the wet; tubeless compatible and designed specifically for 25mm tires Lows: Wildly expensive; titanium skewers are flimsy; internal nipples can be a hassle Buy if: You want an excellent carbon wheelset and aren't scared off by the price   ENVE overhauled its mid-depth SES 3.4 wheelset with new front- and...

February 16, 2017 – Ogden, Utah, USA – ENVE is pleased to announce a completely redesigned Smart ENVE System (SES) 3.4 in both rim brake and disc brake models. Originally launched in 2011, the SES 3.4 was introduced to the aftermarket as a “climbing wheel with an aero advantage.” Once introduced, the SES 3.4 gained rapid acceptance by cyclists of all abilities and quickly established itself as the best-selling wheelset in ENVE’s lineup.  ENVE’s latest SES 3.4 builds upon its heritage as a climbing wheel with aero attributes, but takes a more holistic approach to refine performance in all terrain and weather conditions.  The new SES 3.4...

ENVE SES 4.5 AR Disc wheelset The SES wheelset from ENVE have nailed the elusive sweet spot between aerodynamics, a wider rim width (31 mm up front, 30.5 mm in the back), and low weight (1,583 grams w/ Chris King R45 CL hubs). More specifically, they’re the result of pioneering legwork in the aero-plus segment of the industry. The DI.A crew rode the SES wheelset on a myriad of bikes, each time reaching the same conclusion: across the board, the bikes accelerate quicker, rode with more agility, and were less susceptible to crosswinds (when compared to other similar wheels tested)....

Smaller chainrings mean lower gears — is this the way to go for riders who don't race? Praxis Works Alba M30 With this version of its Alba chainset, Praxis Works is in the vanguard of a new trend in gearing, the sub-compact chainset. What’s the idea, and is it the way to go for you? The chainrings are the feature that separates this version of Praxis’ Alba chainset from similar-looking five arm chainsets. They’re a 48-tooth outer and 32-tooth inner for a slight drop in gearing over more common set-ups. The bike industry is variously calling this ‘sub-compact’ or ‘adventure’...
