Blendr Ion road light mount.jpgFive cool products coming soon to road.cc
The road.cc review team are as busy as ever, and here are some highlights of the latest bikes, accessories and components we've been testing...
Bontrager Blendr Road Ion Light Mount
£15.99
This mount provides a clean and simple solution for attaching a light out front and under your stem. Bontrager's Blendr stems can also hold computer and GoPro mounts for a flush integrated system. Is it fully secure, and does it hold your light in the perfect position? Editor Tony Farrelly will be giving his verdict soon.
£550
The Dark Star from Bobbin is a city bike that offers more than your average hybrid, with 16 gears and hydraulic discs for longer commutes or trips on the weekend. A steel frame with subtle branding and matching leather bars and saddle give a classic appearance, while 32mm tyres make it capable of occasional towpath jaunts. Is it the versatile city slicker it's cracked up to be? Our reviewer John Stevenson is currently bobbin' around on the Dark Star with a verdict coming soon...
£49.99
The price point might ring alarm bells with bargain hunters, but Spurcycle are claiming their creation is far superior to the average ding-a-ling. Made in the USA, the precision-engineered bell is fully adjustable to fit any size handlebars, coming in a raw metal or black carbon finish. Small in size and big on sound (45g and just 30mm x 20.5mm) it's purportedly three times louder than a standard bell. George Hill will be telling us how good the vibrations are in his review soon.
Giro Civila women's road shoes
£129.99
These two-bolt women's road shoes are made for the style-conscious cyclist who wants some walkable footwear for when they reach their destination. Weighing 275g, the outsole is made of injected nylon and the walking pads either side of the two-bolt cleat mount is replaceable. A suede heel counter and laced closure make for a classic appearance, with a performance fit inside to ensure a smooth yet firm ride.
£37.99
These tubeless-ready tyres are most at home on technical off-road surfaces, said to offer maximum traction for when the ground is slick and slippery. The tyre has a unique tread design to achieve max grip, coming with the obvious benefits that going tubeless brings, i.e. weight reduction and increase puncture resistance. Mike Stead is getting the Chollas dirty right now, with a verdict coming soon...

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
Probably a Very Important Person. Doesn't correlate exactly with their actual position / rank of course. But their time is precious! Almost as...
`People drown in the bath : if only everyone wore a life jacket!...

Humblebrag?
I agree about not needing the smaller sprockets but as that's all that's (easily) available in 11s the answer for me is a sub compact double...
Define 'recreational'....
You've never seen me stuck behind a phone zombie pedestian then. Without alcohol.
Leaving the scene, abandoning the car and removing the plates provides an insight into a mindset intent on avoiding consequences- in stark contrast...
Honestly, the hubs were identical, doubt they are DT swiss, more likely be budget far east generic hubs, and nothing wrong with that, have stripped...
Please take more care.. Fuck that, I'd be following that driver in my car, waiting for the moment I could give him as much care. He drove away and...
