Rockbros RHL 1000 Bicycle Headlight
I found myself in the market for a new headlight and wanted to find one that lit up the road well. Most of the lights I have used are much more so cars see me rather than really lighting the way. Searching around I landed on the Rockbros 1000 light as the lumens, mounting, and…
Rockbros Carbon Saddle 103x275mm Review
I built my first carbon bike and needed a lightweight yet frugal saddle for it. This was the best option I could find at right around $50 and 136 grams. Have a look: I honestly thought I would find it uncomfortable, but I’ve ridden it all season and like it a lot. I always ride…
2017 Raleigh Clubman Carbon Road Bike Custom Build
I wanted to finally try out a carbon bike, but well I am frugal. New carbon bikes were just too expensive and used bikes were too expensive if they met what I wanted. My goal was to have the more modern options that I wanted which include disc brakes, internal cable routing, fit wider tires,…
1997 Fuji Team Road Bike Yellow
My most recent bicycle purchase sort of fell into my lap. A neighbor of mine picked up the bike for a very good price at a rummage sale. For reasons I don’t understand he unsuccessfully tried to sell it for a couple years and eventually offered it to me for a nice price. Wasn’t going…
2025 KHS Grit 55 Gravel Bike Review
I decided it was time to try out more of a pure gravel bike as my bikes have been old cyclocross or adventure type bikes. Wanted something that would fit the wider gravel tires. Being frugal I shopped around and came across a great deal for the KHS Grit 55, only $500. These seem to…
CYCPLUS AS2 Ultra Bicycle Tire Pump review
This is a nice tool that I didn’t know I needed. CYCPLUS contacted me and asked if I would review one of their pumps, and I figured why not. I’ve always had a tiny pump or a co2 pump for inflating a flat on the road. The small pumps take a lot of effort and…
Roamer Bicycles History
History of Roamer bicycles isn’t easy to find, the best information we have is from the badge which usually states “Roamer D.P. Harris NY”. D.P. Harris didn’t make bicycles, but they marketed and distributed bikes made by HP Snyder out of Little Falls, NY. So, I’m confident this brand was manufactured by HP Snyder. Here…
Bucklos SPD Cleat Set MTB BH-51 Review
I like riding with smaller cleat SPD pedals as it allows me to walk pretty normal with my cycling shoes on. They work great for me, and I really have no complaints until they start to wear out and I start hearing clicking noises. They are easy to change but for small pieces of metal…
West Biking Spoke Tension Meter Review
I’ve been getting more interested in bike wheel maintenance and repair, so I decided I needed some more tools. I have broken a lot of wheel spokes and while I think part of that is the quality of the spokes, another big part of it is tension. If the spokes aren’t evenly tensioned one of…
FSA MegaEvo BSA to 386EVO Bottom Bracket
This FSA bottom bracket is for fitting a MegaEvo crankset on a bike with a BSA 68mm English threaded bottom bracket. Quality is very nice, have a look: Installation The installation was very simple, and the cups are nicely marked with which side they are for and arrows for tightening direction plus the torque spec. …
