4 For The Road

Intro

We're going to go over four great deals, odds and ends that you need for cycling. Here we go.

Cyclami Levers

Number one, if your tires have ever fought you harder than Mike Tyson, then you need these. Cycle me pry bars. These tiny tools will save your ride and your sanity. Hey everyone, it's Hanman, your resident cyclist. Guy who absolutely launched tire levers into the bushes mid ride at least once, probably twice. We're here to talk about the Cyclami Pry bars. My favourite new little lifesaver. Let's get into why these things are so brilliant and why I'll never go back to the old ones again. First of all, the thumb area is corrugated. Goodbye slippage. Hello grip. You know when you're trying to get that first bite under the bead and your thumb slips off like a cartoon banana peel? Not with these. The corrugated area holds your thumb there. You know your thumb is not going anywhere. This is the best. Next we have the deflate assist tool. Secret weapon. On the back side right here in the middle. What they've done is they've added this little tool. you know, because sometimes your tires are just too full of themselves. Instead of using your fingernail or a key or if you're me a, you know, keychain or something that wasn't meant for this, just press that tool in and clean, controlled deflation. You know, it makes you look like you know exactly what you're doing, which is great because sometimes you don't. And third, they buckle together, never lose one again, probably. Cyclami said, "Well, what if we just stopped letting people lose their tire levers?" And they did. These pry bars literally buckle together. They just clip together like they're best friends holding hands. Click. They're one unit. No more rummaging in your saddle bag like you're searching for spare change. And if you still lose one, well, honestly, that's on you. I mean, Cyclami did their part. And fourth, they're not made of metal. Save your rims. Metal tire levers are great until they introduce themselves to your rims like an energetic toddler with a crayon. These Cyclami levers are all high strength composite, stiff enough to pry a tire, gentle enough not to gouge your beautiful rims. It's the perfect combo. Strong, smooth, and not out to ruin your day. So yeah, tiny tools, big impact from Cyclami. Corrugated thumb positioning, deflate assist, buckle buddies, don't lose one, and rim friendly material. Basically, the Swiss Army knife of tire levers without those tiny little scissors. So, if you're looking for a pair, check out the link below.

Deemount Silicone Straps

Next up, we have these Deemount straps. silicone, stretchy and strong. They come in a pack of four, and you can use them to attach a plethora of things to your bike, such as your multi-tool or your torch light or your favourite bike computer. Get creative. You can attach almost anything you need.

RiderAce Water Bottle

Next up, we have the Rider Ace water bottle. Squeezable, doesn't leak. Just lift up the nozzle to drink and away you go. And there is no aftertaste. Also comes with a free dust cover. Comes in multiple colors to suit your bike.

Encprove 2.7L Half-frame Bag

And lastly, we have the Encprove 2.7 L half-frame bag. Nice and narrow so you don't rub your knees against it. The zippers have a protective area so that they don't get road grime all over them at the end. Comes with five Velcro straps so that you can attach to your bike. You probably put one at the front. You have two spots where you can go in at the front, two spots where you can go in at the back, and six spots where you can attach say the last three straps on the top. So, it should be able to fit any bike. One of the other nice features is other than it's waterproof and light and durable, on one of the sides you have this nice double mesh area for an organizer. And the inside, as you can see on this one, is orange, so it's not black. That way, you can easily find stuff, right? It's just great. Very nice and light. And for safety's sake, of course, their logo on both sides is reflective at night. And a shopping tip, some of these items, other than the half frame bag, are so cheap that whatever platform you're buying them on, they're a great way to get yourself up over the minimum needed for free shipping.
