In this article I will briefly review pre-load-cap removal tool for Shimano Hollowtech II cranks from the brand Risk. I’ve ordered this tool from Aliexpress for a lightweight on-the-go toolbox scenario.

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.
