RockyMounts Driveshaft HM Bolt-On Thru Axle Bike Mount

by

 The problem with most rack mounts for securing bikes in the back of a truck or van is how much of a pain they can be. Threading an axle through while balancing a fork can be challenging with cold hands. And between the various axle widths standards and diameters, you’ll need spare mounts in the […]

SDG JR Pro Kit: Outfitting the Next Generation of Riders

by

Kid’s bikes have traditionally been heavy and poorly assembled, spec’d with low end components from adult-size bikes paired with smaller wheels and frames made using low end materials. In the last few years though, select manufacturers have stepped up to provide better quality bikes which have allowed young riders to progress on quality equipment. Many […]

First Rides: Fox Attack Water Pants

by

I’ve really taken to riding in pants this year, especially with the rainy season upon us. Pants make post ride clean up a cinch — simply pull them off and voila, your knee pads and shins are still clean — one less thing to deal with post ride. Looking at the options, the Fox Attack […]

This Belt is a Multi-Tool: Fix All Time Belt Review

We like wearing belts and never leave the house without one. The Fix All Time belt adds a heap of utility to the traditional belt by integrating a useful multitool into a unique buckle they call the Payload Pocket. Wearing the Fix belt means you’ll always have a tool on you for minor bike adjustments […]

Review: Crud Roadracer Mk3 Full Fender Set

by

The Crud Mk3 Roadracer Full Fenders are the best road bike fenders I’ve ever run. I don’t think I’ve ever straight up claimed that sort of thing when it comes to reviews. However, having tried quite a few, and installed far more than my fair share during my tenure as a bike mechanic, I feel […]

Skek Cycling Lifeboat Tire Lever

by

A lot of us carry a bit of sealant on long rides. I usually add a Leatherman tool or something with a needle nose plier so I can remove the valve core in the field. The Skek Cycling Lifeboat Tire Lever solves this problem, integrating a tubeless valve core remover into the tire lever.  Featuring […]

Pro Cable Routing

by

  Confession: the cable routing on most the bikes here at the Bermstyle HQ look like utter shite. I often leave cables long as it feels like I’m constantly moving things around and swapping out components. (I also never have free time between the day job and all the side hustles) It doesn’t mean I’m […]
