How to Keep Your Feet Warm on Cold Rides
Posted by Trevor Barrett on
As the crisp (aka, friggin cold!) and often wet mornings of winter say hi, many of us cyclists contemplate retreating to the indoor trainer. But for the truly dedicated roadies (aka a little bit mad!), there's nothing quite like the invigorating challenge of battling the elements and conquering the open road.Â
Of course the goal to winter cycling lies in staying warm and comfortable, and when it comes to your feet, no one likes wet & soggy ones. That's where the Tineli Core Winter Booties come in – your essential weapon against the cold-weather blues.
"KEEPS FEET DRY - These keep the feet nice & dry on my morning ride and easily dry during the day for the ride home. Great price - keep up the great work Trev!" ~ Pete
Hutchinson Blackbird Racing Tyres: Trev’s Take
Posted by Trevor Barrett on
The Hutchinson Blackbird Racing is a fast, smooth, and predictable road tyre that balances race-day speed with everyday stability.
The new Mach Tread 3.0 compound rolls quickly, grips confidently in corners (even in the wet), and takes the sting out of rougher NZ roads. Tubeless setup is easy, and it comes in 26, 28, and 30mm widths.
A great choice for riders who want a performance tyre that feels quick without feeling twitchy.
