Q. How have you been finding the Tufo Swampero tyres compared to other tyres?

• A. I only have one on the bike (rear wheel). Traction is excellent. Cornering is great. It's quite fast too. I'm not sure it's as supple as the WTBs I had, but the WTBs quality is awful and would not hold sealant. The build quality is quite good on the Swampero - they have a thick liner to prevent flats.

Q. How do you line them on tarmac? Got quite a bit to cover to get to gravel but looking far a winter tyre.

• A. They are probably the best knobby tyre for tarmac. Slower than a road tyre for sure, but if you want traction with the low rolling resistance then I'd recommend Tufo Swampero. 

1. Brightness Without the Glare This compact light pushes out 1300 lumens through a smart aspherical lens that focuses the beam exactly where you need it. The sharp beam cutoff means no annoying glare for oncoming riders or drivers — a feature that really sets it apart.
   
   
2. Easy Mounting Fitting the EVO 1300 is simple. Its Garmin-compatible mount lets it sit neatly underneath your bike computer, keeping your handlebars clean and clutter-free. The out-front mount is solid and works great with most setups.
   
   
3. Long-Lasting Power With USB-C charging and up to 24 hours of runtime on low beam, it’s ready for those long rides. Switching modes is easy with the single-button interface, and the wireless remote makes adjustments a breeze while riding.
   

SwissStop's Catalyst Race brake rotors are a lightweight replacement for the stock equipment that comes on your bike. I've found them to be virtually silent in operation and with plenty of bite, feel and modulation in all kinds of riding conditions.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Trev, it's just chain lube. What's the big deal?" But hold onto your bike, friend. This ain't your grandpappy's greasy goop. Squirt is in a league of its own, and here's why:

1. Clean as a Whistle: This stuff is wax-based. That means no more oily mess all over your chain, your clothes, and your dog (Bobby knows what I'm talking about). It goes on clean, dries clean, and keeps your chain sparkling.
   
   
2. Long-Lasting Love: Forget about lubing your chain every other ride. Squirt's magic formula lasts for ages, even through the muddiest of trails and the grittiest of gravel roads. More riding, less wrenching, that's our motto!
   
   
3. Performance Boost: A clean chain is a happy chain, and a happy chain means more efficient power transfer. With Squirt, you'll feel like you've sprouted wings (or at least gained a few extra watts). Hills? What hills!

Who is the Favero Assioma for?

• The Favero Assioma is a versatile power meter ideal for a wide range of cyclists.

Here's who might benefit most:

1. Road cyclists: Looking for accurate power data to improve training efficiency and performance.
2. Gravel and MTB riders: Appreciate the ease of transfer between bikes with different cranksets.
3. Cyclists new to power meters: User-friendly and relatively straightforward to set up.

Drawbacks and Considerations:

While the Favero Assioma excels in many areas, there are a couple of things to consider:

1. Price: Compared to some crank-based power meters, the Assioma can be slightly more expensive.
2. Cleat compatibility: While available in both SPD-SL and Look Keo versions, cyclists with other cleat systems might need to purchase adapters.
