Rudy Venture Insurgent Helmet
You’ll be able to seem 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 assessment are fine quality and had been very snug and so on. however I felt a little bit of fraud carrying them because the pace I experience at lately, a Watt right here and there doesn’t make a variety of distinction. Plus, perhaps carrying an aero helmet sends out indicators that you’re on the lookout for these little benefit positive aspects over your experience companions, effectively these days are behind me. In order for you an aero helmet, then nice, no downside, however perhaps not for me.
It appears good
OK, that mentioned what in regards to the Rudy Venture Insurgent helmet? After 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 a little bit on the again. You could possibly say it was a case of ‘helmet love at first sight’. It matches effectively and may be very snug, what extra would you like?
There’s 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’s a variety of padding, greater than I’ve seen on different helmets, Rudy is unquestionably aiming at consolation with the Insurgent.
A lot of padding
The rear retention system adjusts tightness across the head, not simply on the again. The straps will not be too broad, however as a result of 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’s lever to carry it collectively. A pleasant little buckle that works effectively.
Rear adjuster maintain all spherical the top
Rudy Venture declare the helmet to be 250gr, I do know that my scales weigh heavy by 10gr (from bread making), so they’re perhaps nearer 255gr. Even so, the Insurgent feels gentle in your head and like most good helmets, you neglect you have got it on after some time. I’d think about that Rudy Venture helmets are designed to suit effectively with their glasses, I attempted Oakley, Smith and ekoï glasses and the all fitted effectively, however it’s all the time higher to ‘strive before you purchase’. And really importantly, the legs of your glasses will slot into the holes on the entrance of the helmet.
Mild sufficient
So what do I consider the Rudy Venture Insurgent? As I mentioned it is rather snug, you possibly can put on it for a lot of hours. Air flow is nice, 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 incredible look. It is usually obtainable in black and pink. The Insurgent is effectively made, a number of padding and has all safety you want and hope by no means to make use of. A cultured helmet.
Consolation, fashion and really importantly security
What Rudy Venture say: The Rudy Venture Insurgent helmet is on the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and efficiency. Designed for essentially the most demanding athletes, it boasts options that elevate it to the top of merchandise devoted to move safety and considerably improve the bike owner’s efficiency.
Enduro Bearings
Thanksgiving is completed and dusted which implies Christmas is simply across the nook. So to leap begin your vacation procuring, listed below are just a few concepts for Enduro Bearings reward choices for any mountain biker, gravel rider, roadie, or CX fan; these are straightforward stocking stuffers and larger under-the-tree presents.
New Bearings: Enduro has each form—effectively, just one form—spherical. They provide a number of ‘good, higher, greatest’ 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 change wheel bearings, headsets, suspension pivots, shock pivots, and backside bracket bearings. A easy substitute can get your bike operating smoother and feeling like new once more. Costs vary from $6.50 to $129 for XD-15.
In case you have full suspension, take a look at their new Black Oxide Strong 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 at the moment obtainable sizes.
Maxhit Headsets and Backside brackets: A couple of years in the past, Enduro launched a line of Maxhit elements, that are machined fully 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 greater 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 suitable device makes the job a lot simpler and doesn’t injury the bearing or the element you’re placing it again into. The ENDURO Linear Bearing Press ($299) is a good 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 can 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 carrying 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 most recent derailleurs.
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: If it is advisable change (or simply wish to improve) your bearings, Enduro is about nearly as good they get. I just lately determined to interchange 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 must be a full-bore store mechanic to do that DIY. However you positively want all the suitable instruments and it doesn’t damage to have a little bit prior expertise.
I’m not going to stroll you thru the entire course of, however will share just a few 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 due to this fact bearings to suit — are the identical. Be sure to know the OEM specs and that you just get the EXACT identical spec bearings.
Enduro XD15 bearings are nearly as good because it will get. Ceramic hybrid. Enduro claims: “The bearing race is so powerful that ought to grit discover its manner by way of 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.” And so they’re assured for all times.
High and backside headset bearings in place (NOTE: I’m a type of individuals who believes with regards to bearings you could 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, be sure you know precisely what yours is to get the proper substitute 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 perhaps even a light-weight faucet with a rubber mallet to get the drive facet seated
You’ll want the suitable backside bracket exterior cup device (virtually each backside bracket has a special 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 searching for crystal clear optics with enhanced area of view, and a safe, locked-down match.
The SR-1x presents 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 area of view in an uncompromising sport body for racing and coaching.
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: By now, everybody is aware of that outsized, protect fashion sun shades are de rigueur within the professional peloton and your native store experience. When you’re wanting one thing rather less huge, the Roka SR-1x could the ‘droids you’re on the lookout for — the lens measures 140 mm broad x 50 mm tall.
The Roka SR-1x is available in eight completely different colorways (you may also customized construct a pair and they are often had with prescription lenses). PEZ received 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 carrying them for hours on finish — usually in sizzling and humid circumstances. Which means regardless of how trendy 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 might 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 strain however might nonetheless really feel them gripping (the GEKO elastomer on the nostril and temple pads additionally supplies grip). The nostril piece felt snug sufficient, however I would strive one of many different sizes simply to see (really feel) if there’s a distinction.
The Roka SR-1x comes with three different completely different measurement 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 in addition a sensible/practical facet in the event you’re attempting to stuff your sun shades into the vents of your helmet. #marginalgains
Spot on spec weight
After all, 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 getting old, Lasik-corrected eyes — I’ve no method 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 gentle leaking in. The lens itself is 17% gentle transmission, so darkish sufficient for me in full solar but usable when partly cloudy. YMMV. However not a lens I’d select for a completely cloudy/overcast day. Spare lenses with completely different tints for various gentle circumstances can be found for $70.
The SR-1x lens inserts/locks by way of the body, making a cool little dorsal fin
Virtually svelte compared to a variety of different outsized sun shades
When you’re out there 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 is perhaps simply sufficient to keep away from the wrath of our expensive buddy Ed Hood: “watch out of sizing, when you’ve got a small head and put on big shades you possibly can stray into ‘Dame Edna’ or ‘Fearless Fly’ territory – neither is icy.”
Talking of Ed …
Pricey Readers – Our beloved colleague and buddy Ed Hood suffered a severe stroke in February 2023. We don’t anticipate Ed will make it again into our bunch, so we began a GoFundMe web page to assist Ed together with his future. Learn the total put up right here – and please contemplate donating.

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 occasion examined and NSF contents licensed for purity and efficiency
Chuck Peña PEZ sez: Even when colder climate is preserving you from using outdoor (I readily admit that I’m a wimp in my previous age with regards to using within the chilly), you continue to have to hydrate in the event you’re using indoors (maybe much more so). Life Time Hydrate (which will be bought both as a 60 serving jar or 15 depend single-serving packs) is the most recent hydration product I’ve had the chance to strive. Is it higher than different such merchandise? I can’t attest to that as a result of I’ve no method to objectively measure and evaluate. 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 received 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 exploit them in my Camelbak Podium water bottles which can be 21 oz620 ml with out the flavour being diluted (another merchandise I’ve tried appear to lose a little bit taste as a result of my water bottles are bigger capability than the really useful combine). I’m a type of riders who wants taste in my sports activities drink, i.e., some sweetness. Life Time Hydration supplies that however with out added sugar, which is a plus in my e-book.
Talking of taste … I knew I would really like Lemon Lime and Blood Orange as a result of each are flavors I’m very acquainted/skilled with (and could be troublesome to get incorrect). 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 regimen. And mixing them collectively was uncharted territory for me. However I used to be pleasantly shocked by how they tasted collectively. After all, YMMV.
