In this episode of Behind the Ride I thought I’d take a look at some of the ways I “try” to survive winter, a time of the year I particularly struggle with. From bike set-up to staying visible and some key items of kit that I’ve found particularly useful. I hope it helps you be safe, seen and comfortable during the darker months of the year.
Mosaic's GT i55 gravel platform clears 55mm tires with a 3D-printed titanium yoke and shorter chainstays. Framesets start at $5,000.
Silca's 44g Mattone Ultimate seat pack uses BOA closure and TPU construction. At $98, it's for riders already on compact tools and TPU tubes.
Giant's Charge Pro gravel/XC shoe brings 180Nm/cm carbon stiffness at $425. Here's who it's for — and who should look at the cheaper Charge 1 instead.
Stevens drops the Super Prestige frame to 995g with updated geometry and easier shouldering. Complete builds start cheaper than before — but electronic-only.
