The 2011 Sea Otter Festival is well behind us in the rear view mirror but the memories of the racers, festival goers and excellent weather make us wish we had a little more time in the Monterey sun. As cycling festivals / races goes this one is a whopper and fairly unique as you’ll see [...]

I use a computer aided design application to blueprint my bike fit and meticulously apply those measurements with a digital level and a crosshair laser.

It weighs only 150 grams for 20 tools. ミニ20プロは相棒のような存在で、サドルバッグの中に常に携帯し、全てのトレーニングライドに持って行きます。レッドビル１００やブレックエピックなどの長距離レースでは何がおきるかわからないので必ず携帯するアイテムの一つです。バイクに起こりうるほとんどの問題に対応できます。レーサーの中には軽量化のためにツールを持たない人もいますが、個人的にはリスクを負うよりも準備万全の装備をするほうが良いと思います。 Mini 20 Pro is my little buddy. I carry it in my [...]

. I’ve been a fan of Topeak’s fold-out tools for years. The finish on the new Mini 20 Pro Gold is exceptional. The chromed bits have a hard finish and look cool. The Mini 20 includes every tool you’re likely to need trailside. Topeak even includes a chain hook to help with chain repairs. The [...]
