Speedfil Hydration System Review
The Speedfil is a good alternative to traditional aero hydration systems, especially for long course. Lis and I have been using ours for two seasons, including Kona for Lis. Check out the review.

It sure has been a while since I posted to the blog – I have been so busy with fits and related business that I have had no time to write (or sleep). But I had to take a few minutes to post a video of the first Kestrel 4000 frame to make its way […]
The previous stack and reach measurements published for the forthcoming Kestrel 4000 were off in several spots. Steve Harad forwarded me the updated values a few days ago, and it is clear that Kestrel is positioning the 4000 more towards the short-and-high (reach-stack) end of the spectrum in the middle (and most popular) portion of […]

So this pops up today on SRAM’s blog: Supposedly the big boys will soon ride this in Pro Tour TTs. First reaction: UGGGLY! It gives the Giant “icebreaker” a run for it’s money in the “bleeechhh” dept. Of course that matters not one iota to air molecules whizzing past it at 40mph. And what those […]
I have written two other posts on the P4 – both from Kona. The initial post questioned whether it was worth the price upgrade from a P3- at first glance it looks like a P3 with a few tweaks. Then I talked with Cervelo’s Phil White and he set me straight. Last night I attended […]
