[Tested] Continental Argotal / Kryptotal

Continental Kriptotal Re

Continental presented their latest Argotal and Kryptotal tires in April 2022 along with their entire gravity lineup . In addition to trying to keep up with remembering the names, we spent a lot of time trying the new tires from the German brand, completely different from the ones we have enjoyed in the past. This in particular is of the Argotal and the Kryptotal Re, where Re is the abbreviation for Rear. Both in a tubeless configuration at 29″ and 2.4″ width, the two tires are different in terms of tread but have the same trail level casing and the

[Tested] RideWrap “Covered” Protection

This Winter, RideWrap reached out to us to see if we were interested in testing a sample of their frame protection kits. At the time I was just about to begin the process of a new build, so taking them up on the offer was a no brainer – especially since I was already starting with a fresh new frame. Anyhow, they offer three levels of protection for their frame kits available for hundreds of bikes and loads of forks as well. I opted to check out the mid duty option of the three, which is dubbed “Covered” and offers

Effetto Mariposa Flowerpower – The Best Liquid Chain Lube…

Effetto Mariposa Flowerpower

Last year we released a video about lubricants and which one was best . The interest in the topic was very high, on the other hand the topic lends itself to a thousand interpretations, also depending on where one pedals, temperature, local soil makeup, how much maintenance one does to the bike, etc. It was no coincidence that the test was done with a machine that Alberto di Effetto Mariposa had recently purchased. In fact, shortly after, Effetto Mariposa presented their lubricant based on natural waxes, the Flowerpower Max . I can’t deny that I started using it on my

Bike Ahead Three Zero Wheelset: the secret of a low rim profile

Bike Ahead Three Zero

We told you about the Bike Ahead Three Zero after the conclusion of the Cape Epic 2022 . The winners had in fact used these wheels and never had a puncture in an race that will go down in history for the puncture record of Nino Schurter’s Scott Sram team. We had a couple sent, mounted on a Stoll M2, and we tested them on several XC bikes, and even on the Canyon Spectral CFR , changing out the tires.

[Tested] Fasthouse Hooper Kneepads

This Spring, Fasthouse announced the launch of their first kneepad – a project that Tyler McCaul has been hard at work on helping to develop for many years now…Fasthouse was kind enough to send out a sample set of his signature “Hooper” pads for me to spend some time on. Aimed at the Trail to Gravity segment, they offer a bit more coverage than the average trail kneepad – particularly slightly below the knee. Let’s see how they’ve been working out… Details Ergonomic design with abrasion resistant fabric. Articulated foam injected knee pad that hardens on impact. Vented mesh back
