Lazer Blade helmet review
Aug. 16, 2018, 7 a.m.
on
Bike Radar
It’s hard not to notice that the Blade takes its styling and many design features from Lazer’s range-topping Z1. It uses the same ARS (Advanced Rollsys System) with an adjuster barrel on the top of the helmet. It feels odd at first but is easy to use on the fly, as well as one-handed, and it soon becomes second nature. Height is adjustable, but this can only be done off the head. The side straps are also adjustable and don’t have locking cams, but we never had any issues here as they remained in place during testing. The shell features 22 large vents, so there is never an issue with overheating The Blade’s Z1-style shell features 22 large vents with good internal channelling, so there is never an issue with overheating, either. An optional shell cover is available to increase aerodynamics or for wet days, but this does add weight. ...

Cycling News
Taylor Phinney and Daniel Martinez will lead the EF Education First-Drapac squad at the second edition of the Colorado Classic . Stagiaire Jose Neves will make his debut in team colours with Nate Brown, Hugh Carthy and Joe Dombrowski completing the line-up. Based in Boulder, the four-day event is the team's home race. It begins on August 16 and is centred around Vail and Denver, with the high-altitude time trial in Vail one of the key stages. Both Phinney and Martinez have enjoyed a short break from racing following the Tour de France in July. It was a turbulent Tour that saw the team lose their general classification contender, Rigoberto Uran, in the second week. Martinez contested the Clasica San Sebastian before heading home to Colombia for some rest and recuperation. "I'm anticipating a competitive race," Martinez in a team press release. "The legs are feeling good, and I think ...

Mohoric: I respect the cobbles, but I don't fear them

Cycling News
After doing so much of the heavy lifting to ensure the surprise success of the break on stage 3 of the BinckBank Tour , fourth place initially felt like a scant reward for Matej Mohoric . As the Bahrain-Merida rider wheeled to a halt in Antwerp, however, it gradually became apparent that he would receive the considerable consolation of moving into the green jersey of race leader. "I always had the general classification in the back of my mind beside the stage victory. I still focused on the stage win, but I knew it was going to be quite hard as the other guys knew I was the strongest because I pulled the most to arrive to the finish with the biggest gap possible," Mohoric said just past the finish line on Desguinlei. Mohoric was the driving force behind the five-man break that upset the sprinters by coming in 1:11 ...

5 arch supports and why your cycling feet need them

Bike Radar
There’s a reason why you should consider replacing the paper-thin factory insoles from your favourite cycling shoes. From your ankle to mid-back, proper support for your feet can prevent injury, provide more powerful pedalling and create more comfort for you overall. Wide shoes: why you need them and which brand makes the best How to install and adjust cycling cleats Gallery: The shiniest cycling shoes for next season From an evolutionary standpoint (no pun intended…) humans don’t really need arch support, all things being equal. But we no longer engage in as much hunter-gatherer living, farming or even a decent amount of walking anymore. Most of us spend our days behind the cold glow of a computer, sitting in a chair that slowly creates a dependence on various external supports. So how does this affect our feet? Technically speaking, we have three distinct arches in the foot — medial, transverse ...
