Mostly gone is the debate of Campagnolo vs Shimano. It's been replaced (in almost all the queries we receive) with Shimano vs SRAM and for good reason - groupset selection is one of a cyclists most significant equipment decisions.

These cycling giants have dominated the General Classification's top two spots for four straight Tours. Most recently, Pogacar grabbed his third yellow jersey in 2024 with an impressive 6:17 lead over Vingegaard, built primarily through four mountain-top finishes. Remco […]
My riding experience changed completely after testing photochromic cycling glasses for over 200 hours in different conditions. These smart lenses adapt to light changes - they stay almost clear while riding through shaded forests and turn dark in bright sunlight. We tested three different pairs, the Koo Demos, POC Devour and Alba Optics Delta. We […]
