In this article I will review the Giro Monaco Cycling Gloves. These cycling gloves seem to have a good and allround feature set for the highly interesting price-point of € 23,-.
Gloves are in addition to a helmet the very few protection items for road cyclists. So I’ll share my personal view on comfort and features.
The Morgan Blue Chain Keeper is one of the tools that I use, when cleaning and maintaining my road bike. The Morgan Blue Chain Keeper is also very handy when you put your bike in the back of your car (without the wheels).
The design of the Morgan Blue Chain Keeper is monkey-proof and simply works.
The CO2GO+ Mini Pump from PRO Bikegear is a full aluminum mini-pump that can be used as a manual pump and a CO2 inflator. The PRO Bikegear CO2GO+ Mini Pump is robust and has two clever ways of storing the CO2 cartridge.
Finally I’ll do a brief comparison with Barbieri Moskito Pump, which is also a 2 in 1 pump.
BBB LinkFix BTL-77 pliers are the ideal tool to open and close KMC Missing Link on your Shimano, KMC or SRAM chain. The plier design offers a dual function for both opening and closing a KMC Missing Link. Competitive products offer only a single function and are more expensive options.
In this article I will briefly look at the design and sharing my practical experiences when working with a gold KMC X11 EL chain (the version with a KMC titanium-nitride finish).
The Topeak Nano TorqBit is a 1/4″ hex bit with a fixed preset torque value that you can use with each bit holder and each bit. I personally use it in combination with the Fix It Sticks T-Way wrench that I reviewed a little while ago, but it also comes in a set called the Topeak Nano TorqBar.
I will also compare the Topeak Nano TorqBit against the Ritchey Torque Key which also has a fixed preset torque value.
The Coin driver Stubby from PB Swiss Tools with the famous SwissGrip handle, is perfect to remove battery covers, plugs and plastic screws. A lot of cycling electronic devices are powered with a CR2032 coin battery. The PB Swiss Tools Coin driver stubby gives you a firm grip and allows you to accurately apply the correct torque on the battery covers, while minimizing the risk of damaging these plastic battery covers.
