It is Friday. It is kind of lunchtime ish. It's almost the weekend. Which probably means it is almost time to ride bikes.

"SuperPlush Recovery Shoes" - is that what we're calling slippers these days?

More things we didn't know we needed ......

Saddle position lever - really?

Female specific bum butter - Isn't human skin all the same? - Hannah will probably tell me I am wrong about this.

A thing to raise the height of a handlebar light - oh come on! Are there lots of bike packers out there cheering "at last!"

Recovery shoes - you mean shoes.

Is this the sign of the bike industry inventing stuff for the sake of it rather than to satisfy a real world need.

That OMM Headlight mount is just a more expensive copy of the Restrap Light Mount, isn’t it?

Yes, really. Heard plenty of folk raving about how the original version was a game changer for them.

 

id have one myself but they don’t make one for my choice of seatpost, yet.

I enjoyed "the jockey wheels are guaranteed against corrosion". Well yeah they would be, they're plastic, like most oe jockey wheels. Might as well say "now guaranteed anthrax free"

The Maxhit's schtick was basically that the BB shell was the outer bearing race, which is kinda clever, especially paired with the limited lifetime warranty (albeit, one that has at least 2 total bullshit getout clauses, you are required to get them annually serviced by a professional and the warranty doesn't cover "dirt ingress") But these ones look like a conventional bearing pressed into a conventional cup? Unlike the other ones it seems like you can see an outer race.

Gravel-mountain-bikes are the most ridiculous thing but I have to admit those forks are very cool. Also old Megas are also cool.

Blimey, to my mind that's a double bagger. One over the bike so I can't see it. One over my head in case the bike one falls off.

Can’t you guys proof read your copy? Sorry to be the SPAG Nazi here, but at least run it through a spell checker before posting. That won’t help with the chocolate, but small steps would make you look more professional.

generation verstion-> generation version

doohicky -> doohickey

Hans Solo -> Han Solo

concidence -> coincidence

Robert Axle Preoject UDH ->

Robert Axle Project UDH

Hotel Chocolate-> Hotel Chocolat
