Latest Reviews
Eurobike 2026
Eurobike 2026 in Frankfurt was notably smaller than previous years, with fewer exhibitors and a shift toward Asian manufacturers, especially Chinese brands. Key themes included the rise of affordable electronic groupsets, 3D-printed components, and wider tire clearances. Canyon's AI safety concept bike and Tavelo's aero gravel frames were among the most talked-about innovations.
Magene PES P515 Power Meter 4 Bolt 110BCD 24mm
The Magene PES P515 Power Meter is a spider-based power meter for 24mm Shimano-compatible cranksets, offering dual-sided power measurement at a competitive price (typically €200-300). Users praise its accuracy (often within 1-2% of trainers like Tacx Neo and Jetblack Victory), ease of installation, and value. However, common issues include a loose left crank arm (requiring periodic tightening or Loctite), occasional calibration drift, and shifting problems with non-Shimano chainrings (e.g., Alugear, Pass Quest) due to slightly different chainline. The newer P515 model improves on the P505 with better accuracy (±1%), longer battery life (240h), and slightly lower weight (625g). Import from China may incur unexpected anti-dumping duties, though many successfully reclaim them.
iGPSPORT BSC500
The iGPSPORT BSC500 is a budget-friendly bike computer praised for its excellent display readability in all conditions, precise GPS, good battery life (approx. 20h), and seamless integration with Komoot. It offers ANT+ and Bluetooth sensor support, USB mass storage for easy file access, and a compact, lightweight design. However, users report minor software bugs (e.g., iClimb not appearing, duplicate camera pages), limited data page customization, occasional map rendering delays, and a less-than-ideal route color for color-blind users. The bell feature via double-tap is unreliable. Priced around €123-€159, it is considered a great value despite some quirks.
YKYWBIKE 2026 Unisex Sport Socks Micro-reflective Bicycle Road Bike Running Cycling Socks Breathable Moisture-absorbing Socks
Bought a handful from Aliexpress recently and these are feet down the best socks I have ever worn. Amazing! Quality is superb. Feeling like walking on silk clouds. Stylish, slim and perfect ankle height. The peeps on the block mistook me for Van Der Poel with these socks, they really are that good.
