  1. What's the deal with hookless rims? Making sense of road tubeless

    13 juli 2020 · 25 min

    Afspelen
    Hookless rims are fairly new in road cycling, but what are they, and where have they come from? Lees meer

    They’ve also proved fairly controversial, as without a fully recognised standard measurement for hookless, and in the wider sense, road tubeless, many rim and tyre manufacturers are stating only limited compatibility between brands. Simon, Matthew and Jack delve in to the subject in our latest podcast.

    With £2bn pledged for green transport in the UK following the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK, there’s great potential to get more bums on saddles when it comes to the daily commute. Cycling to work is healthy, cheap and often faster than driving through a city – it’s also preferable to sitting on crowded public transport! Lees meer

We therefore thought we’d share our top tips to help you make the most of your cycle commute. We cover the bike you have, or might want, kit to ride in, and a host of other bits and pieces.

    Lighter bikes are faster up hills - that's pretty much a fact.

Joe and Jack, from the BikeRadar team are aficionados of the hill climb bike - over the years they've competed nationally at hill climbs, with their bikes weighing around the 5kg mark. So, how did they get their bikes quite so light? In this Tech Talk, the guys go through the different components on a bike, discussing where's best, and where not to try and lose some weight.
