Rider Diary: Merco Credit Union Classic, Stage 1 – By Anthony Canevari, SoCalCycling.com Team

I was pretty excited to get underway at the 2013 Merco Credit Union Classic. Things were looking great prior to the start and the legs felt fresh.

Rider Diary: Boulevard Road Race – By Anthony Canevari, SoCalCycling.com Team

It’s that time of the year again. For me, the Boulevard Road Race was always the first race of the season. The Boulevard Road Race is never a easy race. It has always had a great turn out of well rounded riders and this year had a really good field of riders. The USA National Team had 10+ riders, CashCall Mortgage had 10 riders and there were some other talents in the field like Optum Pro Cycling p/b KBS teammates […]

Product Review: TRP 970 EQ Brakes

How do you make one of the best after market brake calipers better than they already are? You add an additional brake release that ratchets, which allows the brakes to be to be more efficient. This is a great feature, if you swap out your wheels often. The brake release also lets riders make a micro adjustments when getting a wheel change during a race, in case you get a rim that is slightly wider than what is normally run. […]

Product Review: Ekoi 999 Helmet

The new 2012 Ekoi 999 cycling helmet has hit the cycling scene with full force. One of many things I love about this helmet is the light weight technology of 220 grams.

Another great feature is that the Ekoi 999 offers is its […]
