    More often than not, we take what we’re given. Take for instance, tyre levers; we’re told how important they are, but how often do we take a moment to check if they’re the right tools for the job?

    Getting a good Grippp Gloves, like helmets aren’t for everyone.  Many people like nothing better than the uninterrupted connection with the bike and cockpit; experiencing each bump, every smooth mile of freshly laid tarmac and a cool breeze on the knuckles.  I know, I like this too.

    Velotec’s All Weather Jersey making sun-chasing all the more possible Badass Milan-Sanremo 2013 is a day many cycling folk fondly remember.  It involved three things we all adore: racing, discussing the weather and new kit.  As it happens, it was beset with the most challenging conditions and didn’t let up over the course of the…

    The SKS sometimes thinks it can double as a Slush-Puppie space Narrowing the selection Delaying the addition of mudguards is admittedly and usually for stylistic reasons – not wanting to let go of summer and conceding the fact that without the right kit, I am no match for the weather.  So when I eventually look for a sensible solution, it is bewildering that many of the…

    Snap!  It’s December 2015 and it’s absolutely freezing. It’s so cold, that everyone is layered-up to the nines, and if you’re not wearing overshoes, then you’re seriously ‘shoe-doping’ (and the only reason you’re not shivering is because you’re quite possibly keeping your toes toasty with electric-inserts)   Cool, but not like you know it Najib…
