Yep, another action packed issue of Road Bike Action is on the stands now. What's inside you ask....
SPLITTING HAIRS AMONG GREATNESS
See what happens when we take six Superbikes (Cannondale Evo, Specialized Tarmac, BH Superlight, Bianchi Oltre, Cervelo S5 and Moots Vamoots) and put them through a group test. No, they aren’t all similar and that was point; mix and match to see what makes up some of the most talked about and sought after bikes on the market today.
FROM SICILY WITH LOVE
We head to the historical island off the Italian coast to get our first ride on Campagnolo’s long-in-the-works EPS electric drivetrain. Find out all the details as well as our answer to the one question everybody asks – “How does it compare to Shimano’s Di2?”
WHEN REAL HEROES AREN’T FOUND IN THE PRO PELOTON
It’s an unfortunate condition of a society longing for inspiration that the word “hero” gets thrown around so easily these days. Well, our own (Young) Michael White went looking for the real deal and he found them out on their bikes – just where you’d expect to find them. This is a read worth sharing.
PRO TIPS: HOW TO RECOVER
As hard as most of us like to go out, sometimes it’s hard because we never properly recovered from the previous ride. Here are ten Pro recovery tips that just might make your next ride more enjoyable. How do we know they’re Pro level? Well, our own Neil Shirley recounted what worked for him during his 8 year Pro career.
NEW PRODUCTS
We put a handful of new products to the test to see what works and what doesn’t. Topping the list are the fancy sub-1000 gram Mercury tubular wheels. Are they too light or just right? Of course not everyone has $3000 to spend on wheels, so, on the other end of the market we find the $500 American made Rolf Aspine wheels. Speaking of the economy, we also take a look at the “The Grand Bargain” which breaks down the market of bikes in the $1000 arena. Since this is the time of the year when it still gets dark early, we also have a guide to new light systems.
As if all that wasn’t enough, there is also the usual full complement of informative and entertaining high drama that makes up each issue: Ask RBA, Why We Ride, Being Pro, Girl Talk and Bike Culture.
