Recently we did a rebuild of a super light bike we build for GCN. The rebuild had a focus in making the bike functionably lightweight, which involved bringing it up to a whopping 9lbs. Come have an in depth look at a fresh take on a screaming light build.
Not long ago Factor surprised us with a fun new model, the 'Monza'. It is very similar to the Ostro, but with some minor differences, and to add to that it could be considered a value bike, coming in at right around 7k for the SRAM Force build. Lets look together.
After months of collecting really cool mountain bike cranks we decided it was time to treat all of you to one of our famous 'crank stiffness tests' where we put a bunch of cranks in our jig, test them, crunch the numbers and leave the results so that you can choose your next dream crankset.
In this blog we will look at a an S-Works Epic that we recently utilized the new Shimano XTR wireless group to achieve a set up that is not only lite weight, but also offers the ability to easily and quickly alternate beatween a geared OR single speed set up. Come look!
We returned to our test fixture to compare 15 modern road and gravel bike stems using repeatable deflection measurements, recorded weights and stiffness-to-weight calculations. This page explains how we performed the test, how to interpret the measurements and what the results suggest about materials, aerodynamics and internal routing, with direct access to BikeRumor’s complete data and analysis.
