Cycplus AS2 E-pump
The Cycplus AS2 Pro and AS2 Pro Max are powerful little E-pumps. These battery powered inflators make light work of getting your tyres back up to pressure.
While some may argue that hand pumps are a more environmental option, you can't deny how easy these are to use. The AS2 Pro and the smaller AS2 will easily fit in a jersey pocket.

Fillmore Tubeless Valves
Просмотров 2024 месяца назад
Fillmore Tubeless Valves are an update on the venerable Presta valve. If you're using Presta and tubeless then you're probably aware of some of the problems. These come from the design, which uses a small valve screwed into the stem. This limits the amount of air that can pass through, which can make initial inflation of tubeless tyres a problem. And that small opening is perfect for clogging w...

Your cyclo-cross bike can do so much more than race through the mud for a few months of the year. 'Cross bikes make excellent road bikes, especially if you're riding on less than perfect road surfaces. With the ability to fit fat tyres - and we all know that fat can be fast! - you can soak up all those pesky potholes. Of course 'cross bike are the OG when it comes to gravel rides, so you can ad...

Vittoria Airliners Gravel and Dry Gravel Endurance tyres

I take a look at Vittoria's Airliner Gravel tyre insert and Terreno Dry Endurance tyres. The inserts are designed specifically for gravel, the MTB and road versions have different profiles and sizes. Inserts are great for protecting your rims and preventing snake-bite punctures when you hit sharp edges. The foam soaks up the impact and lets you run lower pressures, which increases comfort and g...

According to its inventor the Tyre Glider is the tyre lever evolved. I must admit I was prepared to be underwhelmed by this new take on the tyre lever, but it was actually a very good bit of kit.

so noisy
Yes! But it gets the job done and to be fair that motor is having to work hard to get the air in
I have the AS2 pro and I carry it with my MTB tubeless setup with a Stan's dart, a boot and a spare Tubolito. 2100 km so far and not had to use it other than in the garage when the pressure needs to be topped off. It works so well, I use it instead of the floor pump....Sorry floor pump! And sorry CO2 cartridges. I don't even carry a hand pump anymore.
Was this shot on Betamax? Nice & informative vid, thanks.
🤣Betamax! Does anyone even remember that!
@@Cycletechreview only me, because we got a hand-me-down Betamax recorder in the late 80’s, early 90’s. It was ace! 👍
i kinda want to see the glasses in action
Me too! Unfortunately my Garmin watch won't work with them! Looking to try them on a newer watch soon.
@@Cycletechreview cant u connect ur phone or something i want to see the HUD display thru camera and not thru edited video
Not sure if you have ever used a Specialized evade 2...but if so how would you compare it against it?
Hi, sorry for the ;ate reply. Not tried the Evade 2, but I also use a Propero 3 in a size M and the fit is the same if that helps
Were you charged vat if they were over £135? Am looking at one of their limited edition helmet at over £135.
These were sent as review items, so I wasn't charged. Other items from Europe have incurred charges though, it all seems a bit hit and miss. I would check with Ekoi just to make sure.
I tested the pirelli race limited Edition colour perfect and fast, i tested the pirelli 4s tires perfect and fast too, tomorrow i tested the pirelli zero tt tires infront 26 mm, backside 28 mm, all the two tires from pirelli, pirelli race and pirelli 4s are 100 percent better and faster than continental, definitly forever Pirelli.
volume too low
Yes, sorry still learning. I think the mic wasn't fully inserted so audio was just coming from the camera. I'll have a look and see if I can boost the audio in the editing software, but that might distort it.
Like it
Thaks a lot i was looking for the difference between these 2 sizes !
Hi, Thx for THE video. Is there any mode similar to the climbpro of garmin ?
Still reviewing it lordbaromir (cool name!) I'll let you know
This is one of the only reviews on the Squeeasy Dual Fuel bottle out there?!? Ace....such a great idea. Have you tried it? Sounds like you've only just 'opened the box'. I'd love to know what you think after testing it over a period of time on your rides. Maybe I can find your tested review. Good point about the pocket less Skin Suit.👏 High5 are 'on it' with their 'Ketchup bottle' of bulk Gel. Precision Fuel and Hydration do a 'Flow Gel' pouch that has 10x Gels another great way to load up the Squeeasy pouch. We all need to think about waste in non degradable or recyclable packaging (Gel wrappers) and our £ pockets. Squeeasy must be cheap on consumption when you buy the bulk Gel packs. More nutrition companies should do these. At the moment it's for runners etc that take the little Gel bottles..... Squeeasy could change that for Cycling.
Rory, yep been using it and it works well. So much easier than trying to rip a sachet open on a bumpy downhill and you always drop the little tab no matter how hard you try. I'm also trying Kendal Mint Cake's NRG that also comes in bulk packs. They have a branded Squeeasy bottle or soft pouches. I've used them and they're so much better than sachets and the taste is actually nice! Hopefully people will stop dropping their litter, why do they do it? To save weight?!?!
Thanks for the review!
Which size is this? 30L?
That's the 4oL bag. Has been good for carrying race day kit, change of clothes, towel and spare shoes. Also plenty of room for 2-3 days, depending on how much you wear!
Mushroom helmet??
🤣beauty is in the eye of the beholder! I'm liking the shape.
😥 'promosm'
Put it on a table and start filling it with things.... half this video we couldnt see the product
good point! still learning, thanks for the feedback👍
nice helmet
Thanks, a little too open for the horrible wet weather we're experiencing at the moment!
How do they fit? Narrow or wide?
For me, they are a perfect fit. No hot spots. Measuring across my foot, it's 117mm and 255mm long. I chose a size 42. Hope that helps
@@Cycletechreview Thanks!
Looking at purchasing this lock, how is the locking mechanism holding up? Is it still smooth or is the key getting jammed? Thanks
Hi James, it's still going well. Although it is only being used in my mostly dry garage now. All my bikes are chain locked together at all times, so the lock is constantly being used, at least once a day and no jams. You do have to make sure you fully insert the key and that the shackle is fully in place, if it isn't sometimes the key will only half turn, but making sure the shackle is all the way in solves the problem.
@@Cycletechreviewlock graphite powder helps aswell
Eventually try a small size Brompton wheel? As an owner I have never had a puncture on mine, or changed one of its tyre till now, so I can't say how difficult it is, but I can imagine it will be hard? Finn. Denmark
Never tried a Brompton tyre with this, I'll have to see if I can borrow one!
The Tyre Glider looks like a clever idea. I'm always impressed by innovative products that actually work well! Years ago I bought something similar, with a tyre lever on one end and an extending arm that clips into the quick release axle. It makes getting tyres off quite easy, but doesn't do anything special to get them back on. And it's about an inch or so too long to fit in my seat pack. All that said, Decathlon make some excellent, nicely shaped and really robust tyre levers for very little cash. You get three in a set, but two are usually more than enough, and they clip together nicely for easy stowage. If I was putting together a tool set from scratch, I'd be happy to consider a tyre glider. Or buy one for someone as a present. But, I don't think I'd immediately run out and buy one. Then again, maybe I've just been lucky and not had very may really tough tyres. Cheers
Yes, I must admit it's only since converting to tubeless that I've really started to come across tyres that are just so darn tight! Although you still need some force with some tyres, this tool allows you to use your body weight rather than your arms. Could do with a little refining to allow for a more soft rounded shape, but overall a nice one-shot tool
Like it, super ,Cycletechreview,🤟
Thanks. So far I'm impressed with it, gives me the numbers, still on original battery. Haven't tried the Find My feature yet
I see I’m not the only one struggling to mount a tire with one of these inserts in.
@uhoopla , yup they are a bit of a faff, but are great once fitted. I'm running 5-10psi lower pressure with these in. Did you get yours to fit?
I was convinced I’d need at least 50l after being impressed with a workmates Fohn duffel! The shoe space is huge so I reckon I won’t miss 5l! Great review!
I was planning to get this bag but after watching your video its just not for me . thanks for the upload.
Glad to help Daniel!
What is the reason why you dont get it?
@@benjaminw2184 I need some internal organisation. I’ve got the stubble and co adventure bag and it’s fantastic.

This lock? abolute nonsense.
Hello, Do you find the code etched on your key shaft for register ? Thanks
HI, I haven't looked, but I will and will ley you know what I find!
Yes, it's etched onto the metal shaft of the key. Mine is a 7 character code
Thanks @@Cycletechreview 😀
It seems to be a solid lock, but unfortunately it rattles very loudly within its holder when riding over bumpy ground. I sent this video (ruclips.net/video/YGSPQXZ_t8Q/видео.html) to the Liteok-Support and they said, that this is a normal behavior and they will not exchange it: "Our engineer has assured us that there is some movement built into the product itself which is required for smooth operation of the lock, and to ensure it securely locks every time. This appears as an audible noise in every D-Lock..." So I send the lock back and bought an ABUS!
Can imagine the rattle is annoying, but abus doesnt have any good locks. Nothing that even remotely stands up to an anglegrinder. They probably have no interest in it either, people have to keep buying their expensive locks that can be cut through in 15 sec. Maybe the coming of the three only proper locks (D1000, x1 and x3 will finally make them produce a safe lock. That goes for all the other companies too of course. With all their resources they never managed to build a proper anglegrinder resistant lock? That's either incompetance, laziness or done on purpose.
I can see this taking more time to cut through granted, with a decent angle grinder, than for a Kryptonite with a 16mm. Apples to apples though, same conditions, perhaps this would take 4-8 minutes compared to the Krypto being a percentage less, maybe 3-5 minutes. The thing is assuming $180 for this compared to $65 for what I paid for a New York Kryptonite, it's kind of hard to rationalize that for the degree of improvement.
Hi @derekjolly3680 ! I haven't attempted to cut my one yet as I'm still using it! However after some googling I came across a motorcycle site that had tested it to destruction. He found that a 240v portable disc-cutter didn't have enough torque and kept jamming. A mains powered one did, after one and a half discs. Link to the article below. Hope that's of some use? www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/reviews/products/security/motorcycle-chains-and-locks/litelok-x1-lock-review
It's really sick what can be done to them with these power tools. This new one you showed with the compound around it is interesting to me. But part of my thinking is that the people who have more of a need for the extra resistance with those shackles would be the bike owners who keep them locked outside overnight more than anyone else. The thieves are going to need to have a fair amount of dark and privacy with the expectation of people in bed. I'd like to think that that isn't what most of us do. The bikes are either garaged or kept inside an apartment. I also think that one could assume a large degree of variation regarding what kind of an angle grinder the guy has, how much power, the battery, how worn his blades are, his skill at it, etc. No question though, that is an impressive lock!
You know how to set up the twist and go mount? kinda stumped
Hi, take a look at; support.litelok.com/kb/litelok-x/how-to-use-the-x1-twist-and-go-mount they have videos detailing how it works. Good luck!
In case anyone comes across this comment later: If you pause the second video in the link that was posted at 12 seconds you can kind of see how they are attached. But the trick seems to be that _only_ the two loose straps are attached through the holes, while the thing with two straps on it is supposed to sit completely on the outside (and those two straps shouldn't go through the holes at all, in any way), back-to-back with the main part.
have you used them? what's the handling or RR like?
Hi Mark, not yet! Our tester will be using them for TTs and racing on a smooth motor-racing circuit. Once he's done his review we'll let you know his thoughts
Is this mount compatible with Garmin mounts?
No, it's a smaller size, wouldn't fit
Did you ever do a follow-up video on these?
Hi Sam, no I didn't, but you have given me an idea as I'm about to upgrade to disc brakes! The review is here - cycletechreview.com/2016/components-reviews/trp-cx8-4-brake-review/

Do you know if it does include the stand for the shaft or the seat? Its not very clear. Thanks
Cool light!
