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.

• High-Performance: Formulated to withstand the demands of cycling, whether it's muddy trails or long road rides.

"Used it before and found it to be the best wax lube without chain preperation hassel."

• Environmentally Friendly: Squirt is committed to sustainability, using biodegradable and non-toxic ingredients wherever possible.

• User-Friendly: Squirt's products are easy to apply and don't require specialised tools or knowledge.

"This lube results in a smooth quiet chain, which last longer than most lubes. It also doesn't collect as much dirt, resulting in a cleaner chain, especially compared to wet lubes. Great product!"

So, I took the plunge and snagged the Elves Amanyar 1.0 Triathlon Disc Frameset.  First impressions? This thing screams speed!  The Toray T800 and T1000 carbon fiber layup looks sleek and feels incredibly light.  Elves clearly put some serious thought into the aero design - those tube shapes are sculpted for slicing through the wind.

Why this bar tape?

This isn’t just any old bar tape that wraps your handle-bars. The Super Sticky Kush brings the goods:

• Tackiest/Best Hand Feel — your hands stay in contact, even when the sweat or rain show up. The top layer is advanced tacky polyurethane and is designed to remain grippy in wet conditions.
  
  
• Long-Lasting PU Tape — resists UV rays, climate and sweat. NZ cycling can get moist (hello Auckland humidity, Wellington wind) so durability matters. 
  
  
• Kush Foam (middle layer) — the shock-absorbing compound maximises “kush feel” even though the foam thickness is minimal. In other words: plush-ride feel, no bulky bars.
  
  
• Laser-etched aluminium bar plugs + high-end rubberised finishing tape — the kind of details that look premium and perform premium.
  
  
• Worthy of champions – this very tape is the bar tape of choice for world-champion level riders.
