Rudy Undertaking Insurgent Helmet
You may appear like a professional – Even when…
Alastair Hamilton PEZ sez: After the final two helmets I’ve reviewed, it was very good to obtain a ‘regular’ one, I imply not aero. I’ve nothing towards aero helmets, and two I did evaluate are top of the range and had been very snug and so on. however I felt a little bit of fraud sporting them because the pace I experience at lately, a Watt right here and there doesn’t make quite a lot of distinction. Plus, possibly sporting an aero helmet sends out alerts that you’re on the lookout for these little benefit positive factors over your experience companions, properly these days are behind me. If you would like an aero helmet, then nice, no drawback, however possibly not for me.
It appears to be like good
OK, that mentioned what in regards to the Rudy Undertaking Insurgent helmet? Once I took it out of the field and put it on it fitted, I solely needed to alter the rear button, simply to tighten it up somewhat on the again. You may say it was a case of ‘helmet love at first sight’. It matches properly and could be very snug, what extra would you like?
There may be extra to the Insurgent than only a good match. Mine got here with the bugstop padding, which stops any biting, stinging beasts getting in and doing one thing don’t need. The helmet additionally comes with a set ‘free pads’ with out the bugstop. On the entrance, the pads are connected to a plastic strip, this flexes and offers extra consolation for the brow. There may be quite a lot of padding, greater than I’ve seen on different helmets, Rudy is unquestionably aiming at consolation with the Insurgent.
Plenty of padding
The rear retention system adjusts tightness across the head, not simply on the again. The straps are usually not too vast, however because of the strap adjusters they sit away from the ears and the chin strap falls within the right place. The buckle has a magnet which makes clipping simpler and there may be lever to carry it collectively. A pleasant little buckle that works properly.
Rear adjuster maintain all spherical the top
Rudy Undertaking declare the helmet to be 250gr, I do know that my scales weigh heavy by 10gr (from bread making), so they’re possibly nearer 255gr. Even so, the Insurgent feels mild in your head and like most good helmets, you neglect you could have it on after some time. I might think about that Rudy Undertaking helmets are designed to suit properly with their glasses, I attempted Oakley, Smith and ekoï glasses and the all fitted properly, however it’s all the time higher to ‘attempt before you purchase’. And really importantly, the legs of your glasses will slot into the holes on the entrance of the helmet.
Gentle sufficient
So what do I consider the Rudy Undertaking Insurgent? As I mentioned it is vitally snug, you may put on it for a lot of hours. Air flow is sweet, no over heating and with the bugstop, no undesirable passengers. For me white is all the time the selection and the black carbon sections offers an amazing look. It is usually obtainable in black and purple. The Insurgent is properly made, plenty of padding and has all safety you want and hope by no means to make use of. An aesthetic helmet.
Consolation, type and really importantly security
What Rudy Undertaking say: The Rudy Undertaking Insurgent helmet is on the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and efficiency. Designed for probably the most demanding athletes, it boasts options that elevate it to the top of merchandise devoted to go safety and considerably improve the bike owner’s efficiency.
Enduro Bearings
Thanksgiving is finished and dusted which suggests Christmas is simply across the nook. So to leap begin your vacation buying, listed below are a couple of concepts for Enduro Bearings present choices for any mountain biker, gravel rider, roadie, or CX fan; these are straightforward stocking stuffers and greater under-the-tree presents.
New Bearings: Enduro has each form—properly, just one form—spherical. They provide a collection of ‘good, higher, finest’ choices, from reasonably priced ABEC 3 and ABEC 5 chromium metal to corrosion-resistant 440C chrome steel to our premium, lifetime-guaranteed XD15 ceramic-hybrid spinners. Improve or substitute wheel bearings, headsets, suspension pivots, shock pivots, and backside bracket bearings. A easy alternative can get your bike operating smoother and feeling like new once more. Costs vary from $6.50 to $129 for XD-15.
If in case you have full suspension, take a look at their new Black Oxide Stable Lube pivot bearings in 10 frequent sizes. They arrive with a brand new 2-year maintenance-free guarantee. Who wouldn’t wish to set it and neglect it for a few years? Value: $49 for all presently obtainable sizes.
Maxhit Headsets and Backside brackets: A couple of years in the past, Enduro launched a line of Maxhit elements, that are machined completely from 440C chrome steel and ‘assured for all times.’ Maxhit eliminates a cup, making the traditional outer cup a part of the bearing retainer. This enables Maxhit to run larger balls in deeper grooves. For the rider, this implies Maxhit can take greater than double the load forces, resulting in exponential will increase in sturdiness and efficiency. Headsets begin at $119–$139, and Backside Brackets begin at $179–$199.
Instruments: Do you prefer to work by yourself bike? In that case, you most likely recognize good instruments. When changing bearings, the proper instrument makes the job a lot simpler and doesn’t harm the bearing or the part you’re placing it again into. The ENDURO Linear Bearing Press ($299) is a superb bearing multi-tool able to pulling bearings from hubs and suspension pivots. Instruments vary from $30 for a easy bearing puller to $299 for a big bearing press.
Derailleur Pulleys: Directline pulleys are easy upgrades which might be plug-and-play, without having for swapping cages, and so on. Pulleys include XD15 bearings, so that you by no means have to fret about them sporting out. The Teflon-infused Delrin pulleys are machined out of a stable block and are tremendous sturdy. Every pulley is designed with a selected CN (tight tolerance) for the higher and C4 (floating tolerance) for the decrease. Costs vary from $119 for older pulleys to $289 for the newest derailleurs.
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: If you must substitute (or simply wish to improve) your bearings, Enduro is about pretty much as good they get. I not too long ago determined to exchange the headset bearings and the underside bracket on my trusty Felt FC that has one thing like 34,000 miles below its belt (each the headset bearings and backside bracket had been changed as soon as already).
You don’t need to be a full-bore store mechanic to do that DIY. However you positively want all the proper instruments and it doesn’t harm to have somewhat prior expertise.
I’m not going to stroll you thru the entire course of, however will share a couple of pics and a few commentary alongside the best way. The very first thing to know is that there isn’t full standardization throughout the bike trade. In different phrases, not all headsets — and subsequently bearings to suit — are the identical. Ensure you know the OEM specs and that you simply get the EXACT similar spec bearings.
Enduro XD15 bearings are pretty much as good because it will get. Ceramic hybrid. Enduro claims: “The bearing race is so powerful that ought to grit discover its approach by our double-lip labyrinth seals to the within of the bearing, the surfaces is not going to pit. The grit really polishes the bearing races smoother.” They usually’re assured for all times.
Prime and backside headset bearings in place (NOTE: I’m a type of individuals who believes in the case of bearings that you would be able to by no means have an excessive amount of grease!)
The array of backside brackets for contemporary bikes generally is a little bewildering. As is the case together with your headset, ensure you know precisely what yours is to get the right alternative bearings. In my case, the Felt FC has a BB30 backside bracket. However I changed the unique press match bearings that use exterior spacers with a sleeved backside bracket with outboard bearings a very long time in the past. So I went with Enduro’s XD15 equal.
Thread the outboard bearing drive-side cup onto the sleeve
You’ll want some grease and possibly even a light-weight faucet with a rubber mallet to get the drive facet seated
You’ll want the proper backside bracket exterior cup instrument (virtually each backside bracket has a unique notch sample) and a torque wrench for the non-drive facet
Voila!
Roka SR-1x Sun shades – $210
Designed and optimized for highway cyclists and athletes in search of crystal clear optics with enhanced discipline of view, and a safe, locked-down match.
The SR-1x gives each athlete the right match courtesy of adjustable titanium core wires. That includes Patented GEKO™ know-how for unparalleled retention on the roughest of programs, our world-class C3 lenses and lens coatings, and easy lens interchangeability, the SR-1x delivers an enhanced discipline of view in an uncompromising sport body for racing and coaching.
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: By now, everybody is aware of that outsized, defend type sun shades are de rigueur within the professional peloton and your native store experience. When you’re trying one thing rather less huge, the Roka SR-1x could the ‘droids you’re on the lookout for — the lens measures 140 mm vast x 50 mm tall.
The Roka SR-1x is available in eight totally different colorways (you can even customized construct a pair and they are often had with prescription lenses). PEZ bought the SR-1x in Gloss White with HC Fusion Mirror Lens.
Beginning with the boxing and hardshell case, the Roka Sr-1x has a luxurious/high-end really feel
Sun shades for biking imply sporting them for hours on finish — typically in sizzling and humid circumstances. Which means irrespective of how fashionable or high-tech a pair of sun shades is, they’ve to suit comfortably. Out of the field, the SR-1x was “grippy” on my average-ish, Filipino-sized head. I may positively really feel the temples holding them in place. Roka makes use of titanium core wires that enable the wearer to regulate the temple items for a precision match. I fiddled with them a bit to loosen the stress however may nonetheless really feel them gripping (the GEKO elastomer on the nostril and temple pads additionally gives grip). The nostril piece felt snug sufficient, however I’d attempt one of many different sizes simply to see (really feel) if there’s a distinction.
The Roka SR-1x comes with three different totally different dimension GEKO nostril pads to regulate for match/consolation
The temples additionally lock in place within the opened and closed positions, so that you don’t have to fret about them floppy about. But additionally a sensible/practical side should you’re making an attempt to stuff your sun shades into the vents of your helmet. #marginalgains
Spot on spec weight
In fact, crucial factor in any pair of sun shades is the optics. In that division, the Roka SR-1x HC Fusion Mirror lens is crystal clear with none distortion (in accordance my ageing, Lasik-corrected eyes — I’ve no strategy to really measure). One factor I actually like in regards to the SR-1x lens is the best way it wraps round to offer peripheral imaginative and prescient protection, i.e., I couldn’t see the sting of the lens and no stray mild leaking in. The lens itself is 17% mild transmission, so darkish sufficient for me in full solar but usable when partly cloudy. YMMV. However not a lens I might select for a totally cloudy/overcast day. Spare lenses with totally different tints for various mild circumstances can be found for $70.
The SR-1x lens inserts/locks by the body, making a cool little dorsal fin
Virtually svelte compared to quite a lot of different outsized sun shades
When you’re available in the market for a premium pair of sun shades which have pretty substantial lens actual property for solar and wind safety however aren’t straying into ski google-size territory, have a look-see on the Roka SR-1x. They may be simply sufficient to keep away from the wrath of our pricey buddy Ed Hood: “watch out of sizing, you probably have a small head and put on enormous shades you may stray into ‘Dame Edna’ or ‘Fearless Fly’ territory – neither is icy.”
Talking of Ed …

Life Time Hydrate
Life’s intense, and so are your exercises. However guess what? Sweating, stressing, sipping on that cup of Joe: all of it results in dehydration drama – muscle cramps, fatigue, and the everlasting battle towards cravings. However worry not, our Lemon Lime, Peach Mango and Blood Orange-flavored elixir is right here to rescue you from the thirst.
Why select Hydrate?
- No added sugar, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, or allulose
- Free from gluten, dairy, and GMOs
- Independently third get together examined and NSF contents licensed for purity and efficiency
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: Even when colder climate is conserving you from using open air (I readily admit that I’m a wimp in my outdated age in the case of using within the chilly), you continue to must hydrate should you’re using indoors (maybe much more so). Life Time Hydrate (which might be bought both as a 60 serving jar or 15 rely single-serving packs) is the newest hydration product I’ve had the chance to attempt. Is it higher than different such merchandise? I can’t attest to that as a result of I’ve no strategy to objectively measure and examine. However IMHO, a sports activities hydration product is healthier (as in additional useful) than plain water (though water is healthier than nothing). And a product like Life Time Hyrdrate might be higher (once more, as in additional useful) than the everyday sports activities drinks you will discover on grocery and comfort retailer cabinets/fridges.
Do I like Life time Hydrate? In a phrase … YES. PEZ bought the one serving packets and I discover these extra handy than having to measure scoops out of a jar. Life time recommends “one packet in 12 to 16 oz. of water to assist wholesome hydration and fluid replenishment,” however I take advantage of them in my Camelbak Podium water bottles which might be 21 ounces620 ml with out the flavour being diluted (another merchandise I’ve tried appear to lose somewhat taste as a result of my water bottles are bigger capability than the beneficial combine). I’m a type of riders who wants taste in my sports activities drink, i.e., some sweetness. Life Time Hydration gives that however with out added sugar, which is a plus in my e-book.
Talking of taste … I knew I would love Lemon Lime and Blood Orange as a result of each are flavors I’m very acquainted/skilled with (and can be troublesome to get improper). However I wasn’t so certain about Peach Mango. Not that I don’t like them, however neither peaches nor mangoes are a part of my common food plan. And mixing them collectively was uncharted territory for me. However I used to be pleasantly stunned by how they tasted collectively. In fact, YMMV.
