Review: Forze Tri Custom Socks

FORZE Tri (pronounced “force“) was founded in 2013 in Southern California.  FORZE  has set out to make socks that look great and perform well under all conditions.   The FORZE Tri custom cycling socks that we use for the SoCalCycling.com Team are fantastic.

There are nice padded sections for the heel and the ball of the foot, with great compression throughout the upper section and a nice breathable fabric throughout the rest […]

Borah Teamwear OTW Cycling Jersey Review

Product Review: Borah Teamwear OTW Cycling Jersey

When it comes to the gear you need to ride a bike comfortably, nothing in my opinion is as important as good cycling kit.

Borah describes the fit on this jersey as “Aero”, it conforms to the body with a snug fit leaving no loose fabric to catch unnecessary drag. For me, this is […]

The weight is slightly less due to less material from the channels for the cables that are routed in the bars while maintaining the strength. With the FSA Energy Compact Alloy Handlebars having short bends on the top of the handlebars it […]
