Review: Hincapie Power GT Bib Short

I’m a self-professed lover of bib shorts, and my never-ending quest for the perfect bibs took me to Hincapie’s lineup and the Power GT. While no longer listed on the Hincapie website, the Power GT is still available via other outlets, and you can rest assured that the same quality and performance that Hincapie Sportswear …

Review: ION K_Pact Knee Pads

This year I was unlucky enough to sustain a major injury, which has made me understand again why quality protective gear is so important. But my knees never got injured.

Review: Enve M70 Thirty 27.5 Carbon Wheels

I already have–and will again–apologize to Enve’s PR guys. Have you ever read something online or in print and just said, “no way”? Well, I was one of those people. Ever since I was a kid, the bicycle rims that I used had hook beads. Some were more pronounced than others, but the hook was …

Review: Triple Eight Invader Full Face Mountain Bike Helmet

Out of the Box As I mentioned in my review of the Triple Eight Compass helmet, the Invader Full Faced helmet came in a neat and tidy package–not unlike unwrapping an iPhone for the first time. My first thought was, “this helmet reminds me of a Star Wars Imperial Fighter pilot.” Awesome. The Triple Eight …
