road.cc Recommends updated with 11 brilliant new products
road.cc Recommends, the site containing the best of the best kit that we’ve reviewed, has just been updated with 11 fantastic new additions. There is everything from a host of tyres, to an interesting book about the Tour de France, bikes and plenty more.
Go check out road.cc Recommends here
Hopefully, you all know how Recommends works by now, so let’s take a look at the 11 products that made the grade this month:
Pirelli P Zero Race 4S tyre
2022 Lauf Seigla Weekend Warrior Wireless
Vredestein Aventura gravel tyre
Squirt Bike Cleaner Concentrate
Le Fric: Family, Power and Money: The Business of the Tour de France by Alex Duff
Bontrager GR2 Team Issue TLR Gravel Tyre
Nopinz Souplesse Bib Shorts
Cane Creek eeSilk+ Seat Post Aluminium
Tifosi Rostra Disc Tiagra 2022
Restrap Race Frame Bag Large
Dallingridge Malvern
With the Tour de France kicking off in Denmark this weekend, a book all about the money side of the world’s biggest bike race would be the perfect thing to entertain you through a sedate sprint stage in the second week.
Le Fric by Alex Duff takes a look at the financial side of the race and examines how it has developed over the years. This would be an excellent choice for some pool-side reading on your summer holiday.
Bikes can get dirty quite easily in the UK so having a good cleaner can really help you to keep your machine in top working order. The Squirt Cleaner Concentrate is effective as a chain degreaser when used neat, or you can dilute it for more general cleaning. Everyone likes a clean bike, after all!
The Tifosi Rostra Disc has gained an additional 5mm of tyre clearance and this makes it even more of a dream bike for the commuter, audax rider or general cyclist. The additional clearance opens the bike up to more off-road riding, but make no mistake, this thing is perfect for crushing some serious road mileage.
Pirelli’s P Zero 4S tyres manage to provide the feel of a summer tyre with the security and all-weather grip of a winter tyre. That makes them highly deserving of their 4 season tag in our eyes.
Head over to road.cc Recommends to check out all the latest additions, as well as those from previous months.

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

£17 for a 1L bottle of degreaser...
You could get a 5L tub of degreaser for a lot less that does the same job once diluted.
It does say it's meant to be diluted 1:25 though, so if your 5 litre tub is half the price but only 1:3 it wouldn't work out much cheaper.
I never follow the instructions to the book. I always use less than recommended.
Wouldn't that mean you'd get, like, 50 litres or something out of this then?
I dont know. All i know is i bought a 5L tub of the stuff in 2017 and i still have more than half of it left but i usually re-use a lot of the stuff a second and third time as i take my chain off and put it in a jar with some degreaser for degreasing.
Take the chain out of the jar, let everything in the jar settle then decant some of the 'cleaner' used degreaser to another container for a different day and toss out the lot with the detritus at the bottom.
Ive done this for years. The dilution comes when im cleaning the rest of the drive chain.
1:25 is recommended "as a general wash", so it's really a very expensive washing-up liquid. It's name is 'Bike Cleaner', after all.
Beware of 'biodegradable' claims, they are often abused. However, the MSDS suggests that this stuff is much less harmful than similar products.
Yeah, but then the same would be true of the 5 litre tub - it's just probably less concentrated to start with.
All those links are 403ing.
Should all be fixed, sorry about that
