Value delivering function<\/p>\n
At PezCycling, let\u2019s be honest we are enamored with the high-end, and halo-worthy equipment and tech. But, sometimes, \u00a0in Gear Break, highlighting value focused tech options that deliver high function and full features is in order. iGPSort\u2019s BSC100MAX hits both of these targets and on balance does it well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Chuck sez:\u00a0 You could spend upwards of $500 for one of the latest and greatest all the bells and whistles cycling computers with a big full color touchscreen and mapping\/navigation. But not everyone necessarily needs all that (or can afford). If you\u2019re one of those people who don\u2019t but seeks functionality and value in a cycling computer, IMHO the iGPSPORT BSC100MAX<\/a> is that.<\/p>\n What do you get? For less than $40, a lot! The BSC100MAX is fully featured, offering:<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t need mapping\/navigation and can live without a color screen, IMHO the BSC100MAX does pretty much everything you could want a bike computer to do \u2026 for a fraction of the cost of a top-of-the-line bike computer.<\/p>\n For less than $40, there are a couple of things you don\u2019t get:<\/p>\n USB-C charging cord (although in today\u2019s world, the odds are probably pretty good that you already have one) Setting it up<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need to download the iGPSPORT app<\/a> (iOS or Android) to set up the BSC100MAX. I\u2019ll let screenshots do some of the talking.<\/p>\n Just like its (much) pricier competition, you can then use the app to configure the unit. It makes adding sensors and configuring the pages simple, fast, and intuitive.<\/p>\n Fully featured (even without maps)<\/p>\n Again, for less than $40, the iGPSPORT BCS100MAX packs a lot of punch \u2026 well above its weight IMHO. It arguably has the most popular features that most riders need\/want. This isn\u2019t everything, but \u2026<\/p>\n There are no maps The Gear Break Bottom Line<\/p>\n If you\u2019re on a budget but don\u2019t want to scrimp on core capability, IMHO the iGPSPORT BSC100MAX is definitely the \u2018droids you should be looking for.<\/p>\n You can buy the IGPSPORT BCS100MAX on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n LATE BREAKING NEWS: iGPSPORT has officially entered into a strategic collaboration with the French Groupama-FDJ Cycling Team<\/a>. This partnership marks iGPSPORT\u2019s official entry into the world\u2019s top-level cycling competitions, bringing new technological options to the professional peloton. Chapeau!<\/p>\n Gorewear Spinshift L\/S Jersey and Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights Chuck sez: For those of us north of the Equator, it\u2019s fall \u2026 shoulder season \u2026 transition weather. Maybe not cold enough for actual winter kit, but where the temps are definitely cooler. If I know the weather will warm up enough, I\u2019ll opt for arm and knee warmers that I can take off. But if I know it\u2019s going be cool for the whole ride (especially if it\u2019s cloudy and a bit of wind), a long-sleeve jersey and 3\/4 tights are my preferred choice.<\/p>\n Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey \u2013 $130<\/a><\/p>\n Chuck sez: Construction-wise, the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey is fairly typical (not a bad thing \u2026 just a statement of fact):<\/p>\n The front panel is two pieces separated by a full-length flat-lock zipper NOTE: If there\u2019s one thing missing \u2014 especially for a cool weather jersey \u2014 it\u2018s a zipper flap to help keep out cold and wind. But, this is a nit-pick and not a deal breaker.<\/p>\n Heft-wise, the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey feels light \u2026 not even mid-weight. But something more than a summer jersey with long sleeves. Don\u2019t let the weight fool you. For me, it\u2019s a jersey I can wear across a fairly wide temperature range (40s-60s F). With a sleeveless baselayer or long sleeve baselayer to accommodate my tolerance for cold.<\/p>\n Gorewear says the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey is a close-to-body fit and size XS fit me (5\u20198\u2033, 130 pounds, ectomorph) comfortably snug. But not so snug that I couldn\u2019t fit a baselayer underneath. And it wasn\u2019t constricting. In particular, the raglan sleeves with underarm panels allowed my arms to articulate freely). The sleeves are just a little long on my arms, but better too long than too short on a long sleeve jersey intended for cool weather.<\/p>\n Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights \u2013 $120<\/a><\/p>\n I know if Ed<\/a> is looking down from heaven (we miss you Ed!), he\u2019d be shaking his head because he\u2019s not a fan of cycling knickers<\/a>:<\/p>\n And before we close on legs \u2013 Edwig Van Hooydonck was a cool guy, 10 years a pro, four Brabantse Pijl and two Ronde victories. BUT he is the man who gave us \u00be length \u2018knickers\u2019 and that\u2019s hard to forgive. One word: NO!<\/p>\n But in all but the coldest weather (for me, that means temps down into the 30s F), I actually prefer 3\/4 tights to full-length tights. Construction-wise:<\/p>\n The leg sections are a single panel with a wide-ish silicon gripper at the cuff Like the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey, the Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights feels somewhat \u201clightweight\u201d when you just pick them up. But their perceived weight is deceiving and IMHO they\u2019re a perfect match with the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey for cool weather riding.<\/p>\n Of course, the most important part is the pad to protect the important bits. Gorewear uses what it calls the Active Comfort 2.0 pad in the Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights. It\u2019s multi-thickness, multi-density with dimpling and a center channel. Most of my riding is 20-40 miles, but my butt-o-meter tells me that I would be more than happy riding 60 or more miles (my longest riding is metric century-ish).<\/p>\n Size-wise, size S(mall) fit me like the Spinshift jersey \u2026 comfortably snug. And the pad didn\u2019t feel like I was wearing a diaper. Can\u2019t ask for more than that.<\/p>\n Essential Merino Socks \u2013 $25<\/a><\/p>\n PEZ also got a pair of socks. In an age of high tech fabrics, there\u2019s something to be said about \u201cold fashioned\u201d merino wool. They keep my feet warm without a lot of bulk and wick away moisture. \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n I know Ed would approve of the Essential Merino Socks being white, but he\u2019d probably take issue with their height. On me, they\u2019re tall enough to meet the cuff of the Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights.<\/p>\n The Gear Break Bottom Line<\/p>\n As I write, it\u2019s almost Thanksgiving and first thing in the morning temps have mostly been in the low 50s F (occasionally in the 40s F) and warming up fairly quickly into the 60s F (afternoon temps can be in the 70s). For me, perfect riding weather wearing the Spinshift Long Sleeve Jersey (with a baselayer underneath \u2014 if there\u2019s wind, it\u2019s a Windstopper baselayer<\/a>) and Swiftride 3\/4 Bib Tights. Enough insulation for cooler temps, but with wicking so I don\u2019t chilled with sweat. And still comfortable enough to wear that I don\u2019t overheat if I\u2019m still riding when the temp touches 70F.<\/p>\n NOTE: Gorewear recently announced it is closing down after 40 years in the running and cycling apparel industry. Nevertheless, orders will continue to be accepted and fulfilled until March 31, 2026, and the Gorewear.com website will remain operational to process orders. The above pricing is full retail and does not reflect any potential discounts that may be offered as existing inventory is sold. Parent company W.L. Gore & Associates will continue to produce waterproof textiles under the Gore-Tex brand.<\/p>\n Tout Terrain Vasco GT 28 Select 6.3 Tout Terrain is expanding its drop-bar bike lineup with the introduction of the latest pre-configured \u201cSelect\u201d model: the Vasco GT 28 Sel<\/p>\n ect 6.3.

The Septimer gives you a feeling for what it\u2019s like to traverse its millennia-old namesake, the Septimer Pass, in a 21st century way.<\/p>\n This month, Tom Ritchey announced the Septimer Break-Away Frameset, a carbon fiber all-road bike named for the Septimer Pass that spans the border between Switzerland and Italy. The Ritchey Septimer represents the highest level of bicycle design by uniting a carbon fiber frame and fork with Ritchey\u2019s Break-Away\u00ae system to produce a bike for a wide range of rider preferences.<\/p>\n TOM RITCHEY Sez: \u201cThis bike came together through a culmination of 40 years of thinking about how to make the ultimate bike. It has stainless steel Break-Away joints that are pretty much indestructible and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 it\u2019s strong enough for someone to mount bags, bear weight, and accommodate their choices in terms of what they want to do with the bike, plus incorporate all the clearances they\u2019ll need if they choose bigger tires.\u201d<\/p>\n The idea for the Ritchey Septimer goes back to 1987, when Tom went to Europe looking for places to ride unspoiled by motorized vehicles. These days exploring by bike is taken for granted, but it wasn\u2019t always that way. What he found was a network of stone roads previously used by the Roman military to control movement in the Swiss Alps. The Septimer Pass remains pretty much the same now as it was two millennia ago.<\/p>\n To approach the pass from the south, Ritchey\u2019s Septimer gives you a lightweight carbon fiber frameset \u2014 ideal for reaching its highest point. The road, which hasn\u2019t changed much since Roman times, is best conquered on large-volume tires. To get there \u2014 or almost anywhere \u2014 Ritchey\u2019s patented Break-Away system lets you easily and quickly disassemble your bike to fit into its own sturdy travel case. Once at your destination, the bike assembles with ease, allowing you to set off on your journey without wasting a moment. External cable routing makes prepping your bike for traveling an easy task. Offering multiple mounts, the Septimer keeps your gear within easy reach ensuring your adventure stays in motion. Compatible with 1x or 2x cranksets, you can configure your build to suit your exact needs.<\/p>\n Tom Ritchey imagined the Ritchey Septimer as the one bike you\u2019ll ever need to comfortably travel the world. If history is any indicator, the Septimer will withstand the test of time.<\/p>\n Retail price for the Septimer Break-Away Frameset:<\/p>\n $3499 The Septimer Break-Away Frameset is available globally at RitcheyLogic.com<\/a>, Certified Ritchey Assemblers<\/a>, local bike shops<\/a>, and online retailers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pirelli Cinturato Tire Line Pirelli updates its CINTURATO tyre range for gravel bikes and launches two separate lines: High Performance (HP-Line) and Performance (P-Line).

\nSpeaking of my phone, it has call alerts (but not for text or email).
