Microshift Centos R10 2X10 Drop Bar Shifters Review
I was looking for a silver groupset that was also affordable for my Surly Cross Check build and landed on the Microshift Centos/R10 group. My shifters are the older Centos 10 speed version, but they are the same as the newer R10 shifters. I’ve been really happy with these shifters.

CyclingDeal Heavy Duty Bike Cable Cutters Review
I got tired of cables fraying and decided to get a better cable cutter. The normal cable cutters where the blades come together don’t work very well with mutli-strand cables like bike cables. The type that works better has more of a scissors action where the blades cross each other rather than come together. AfterContinue reading “CyclingDeal Heavy Duty Bike Cable Cutters Review”

Park Tool Master Link Pliers MLP-1.2 Review
Here is a great bike specific tool which you may really want. It’s used for chains with master links, which is not all of them.

Origin8 Uno Road Saddle Review Bike Seat
I was looking for a pretty normal, sorta old school looking saddle for my current bicycle build. Being frugal I was also curious what was out there for cheap. I landed on the Origin8 Uno Road Pro Saddle which gets very good reviews despite being quite inexpensive. It looks comfortable, but still a rather normalContinue reading “Origin8 Uno Road Saddle Review Bike Seat”
