As you may know already we went to Mallorca to ride with Sebastian Ordinas. This edit sums up the vibe of the trip and the fun we had on our bikes during those 3 days we spent riding the amazing island. Shot with a GoPro camera and edited by Erik Jonsson. We hope you enjoy it and that inspires you to get on your bike this weekend.

BOONE TECHNOLOGIES HELIXX BOTTOM BRACKET
Posted in Bike Porn, Random by Peter
“This is an ultra rare titanium bottom bracket from the mid to late 90′s from small boutique CNC parts builder Bruce Boone … the centre section of the spindle was cut in a twisty corkscrew like fashion, which made for an unimaginably stiff and strong bottom bracket while retaining low weight. It features lockrings for both the drive side and non drive side, which is great for chainline adjustability.”

Face value reviews are easy to dish out, but when it comes to winter gear what really matters is how the kit deals with the daily rigours over the harshest months. Over the winter season I’ve been testing out the Torm T5 Jersey and the Raincoat, Merino base and Thermal bibs from the lovely folks at SOLO.

Needless to say there will be a full bike check here when it’s built. Until now here’s a taster…
