First Look – Gecko’s New Puncture Proof Bike Tires. No More Flat Tires!

April 10, 2018 by Richard Peace 4 Comments

UK company Gecko have just been released their new ‘Regular’ branded tyres on 700 x 40 and 26 x 1.75 sizes.

We’ve tried these tyres before in their Comfort range (a little softer than the regular range and made specifically for e-bikes).

I have just headed over to York’s Electric Transport Shop to try some of the free-rolling 700 x 40 sized new Regular Geckos.

Although Gecko say they are suitable for non electric bikes I thought it would be great to try them out on an e-bike and to compare them to the softer Comfort versions we have on long term test on our Heinzmann e-bike. [Read more…]

Henty Enduro Backpack Review – A Refreshing Hydration Pack Design [VIDEO]

February 12, 2018 by Pete 1 Comment

A majority of hydration packs have used the same configuration of placing the heavy water weight on your back.

The Henty Enduro Backpack ($110 USD) changes that by placing the heavy water weight (up to 100 oz.) & pack (tools/food/clothing) weight at your waist level.

This makes a big difference because you don’t feel the heavy pack weight as much on your back and shoulders. It also makes a big difference if you are moving around a lot on the bike.

For instance if you are mountain biking on technical terrain, traditional back mounted hydration packs move around a bit.

The Henty Enduro Backpack really stays with you as you maneuver through technical riding because it is very close to your center of gravity.

In a lot of ways it really feels like you are carrying a much lighter pack when compared to typical hydration backpacks. [Read more…]

ABUS NutFix Wheel & Seatpost Security Review [VIDEO]

November 21, 2017 by Pete Leave a Comment

ABUS continues their innovative work with the recent development of their Nutfix security for wheels and the seatpost.

A lot of bikes come with quick release levers for the front and rear wheels and seatpost.

This is good for the quick removal of the wheels and adjustment of the seat height for you but it also makes these easy items to steal off of your bike when just the frame is locked up. [Read more…]
