Why Cycling Experts Love These 7 Products

Is this an advertising channel ? Who gives a rats @rse what All ( ??? ) Cycling Journalists like or not ? I've got a 'Park Tool' bike stand and it's a piece of sh!t ! An expensive one at that. Some people have to get a bank loan to get a pair of 'Rapha' socks. I used to buy expensive bike gear and it's no better than most of the cheaper stuff and I stopped doing that. It's mostly brand name marketing fluff that one pays for.

The Shimano 520 pedal is no joke I've had the same pair for years now they've been on at least 3 bikes indestructible absolutely no need to spend more when they are this good.

I love these videos where Ollie fully nerds out on any subject. Super interesting stuff!

Well, let's just change 2 things, Conti to Michelin tires, everyone knows that Michelin os better and chraper, then we have tools from Decathlon, everyone knows they are on par and cheaper!

While Supacaz bar tape admittedly looks good, it is also heavy, and +30 Euros is way too much money for an article to be used for and thrown away after one year. Best bar tape is Deda, hands down (pun intented)! Costs ou under 10 Euros, is super-lightweight and is available in hundreds of colours.

omg just get in the saddle

The schwalbe one pro tyres are also amazing, especially set up tubeless.

Got those mudguards. Hate them.

I think you meant to say, "7 Products I Assume Are Most Loved by ALL Cycling Journalists". Clearly, you have no clue what ALL cycling journalists like, nor have you even tried to find out." Maybe you're confused about what "all" means.

Supacaz is the worst bartape I have used. Not comfortable, plastic, stinky. I have compared with fizik, lizard skins, bontrager, prologo, merida. Never come back to supacaz.

I would also add camelback podium bottles, topeak minipump and garmin varia

Speedrockers are better mudguards.

1. BananaWax Drag & Friction TDF Racing Chain Wax is by far my best purchase this year.

2. TPU inner tubes close Second.

3. Ritchey WCS Race Comp Slick 25c Tyres,
215 Grams a tyre, 120 Tpi.

4. Look Free Arc Pedals.

5. Vintage road bike, Rim Brakes & Down Tube Shifters For the Win. 🤙🤙

Supercaz is hated by all mechanics

GP5000s are great tires, but its not recommended for casual riding sure there are lots of variants such as the ASTR STR but it often loses traction on a wet corners if youre using the TT TR var
520 and 540 pedals are also no joke ive had it on 4 bikes it was my starter cleat for 12 years now its still durable and pretty comfortable
Elite bottles are quite great i guess but im not a bit of a fan of magnetic locks

“It’s quite hard to make a bad product these days”
lol, ironic considering Colnago rushing heads over themselves to prove you wrong by releasing a rim brake c68.

The Continental GP5000 are THE WORST tires when it comes to getting them mounted on the rim. Sticking with Michelin Power Cup or the new Pirelli 4S (the one made in their new Italian factory)

I would add the Garmin Varia RTL515 Radar and Light.

I didn't like the clincher 5000s. Coming from the 4000s, they were way more distributive susceptible to abrasions, punchers, and pinch flats at the same PSI and on the same DMV roads.

I love the 105 (11-sp mech), GP 5000 AS TRs, and Supakaz bar tapes on my road bike.

Even though are chinese (whatever that means for you) but the TPU tubes are everywhere, even big bike brand shops where I live are selling them now.

They are cheap (cheaper online) and great.

Continental GP5000 - no thanks! Pirelli og Hutchinson for me. Continentals are great tires and I rode them for years. They´re just WAY to hard to get on and off. Pirelli and Hutchinson are just as good AND are easy to get on and off the rim.

Elite bottle cages: ♥

Rapha (in general): 💸👎, overpriced and overhyped.

umm. I'd agree with 105 & SuperCaz.

I have wrapped many bars with superkaz tape and it by far has the most grip fompared to other popular brands... with that being said it also has a tenancy to separate with heavy use and it could be more padded/or atleast more squishy.

The bar tape they recommend isn't easy to wrap. It's not the thickness, its the flexibility. But its nice to touch.
