Tested: Momentum Bicycle FlyPaper Pedals
This radical new take on the common flat pedal uses two oversized bearings housed in the crankarm itself, an unbelievably thin profile, and, after six months of abuse it's still spinning smooth.
 
7-15-08 // Tested: TruVativ Noir Team 3.3 Crankset
The Noir has one of the lowest cost-per-gram ratios of any carbon crank out there. Not bad for a carbon crankset that didn’t flex, bend or flinch in the face of rocks and otherwise technical riding.
 
3-29-06 // TESTED: White Industries Eno Components
After a mid-nineties frenzy of pumping out high-zoot parts, the CNC machines at White Industries ran silent for a while. Then, a couple years ago, sensing a whole subculture with a unique set of needs just waiting for some shiny new functionality, Doug White and his army of robots introduced the ENO line of dedicated singlespeed components.
 
3-14-06 // TESTED: Shimano Hone Crankset
The lack of an outer chainring gave the new Shimano Hone crankset excellent clearance on tight trails. But when that clearance disappeared, and rock met metal, the new Shimano cranks took the brunt of the abuse soundly and without complaint.
 
1-9-06 // TESTED: SRAM X-9 Shifters and Derailleur
Although the carbon-clad SRAM X.0 components are currently soaking up all of the limelight right now, many of us are still hungering for working class parts that don't cost an arm and a leg and the strength to last. Parts like SRAM's X.9 shifter and rear derailleur.
 
1-3-06 // TESTED: Shimano LX Group Test
Shimano LX’s budget performance eclipses yesterday’s top-of-the-line technology; read a test of these thrifty bike components from the Bike magazine test crew here.
 
11-21-05 // TESTED: Brothers Candy SL
Many people loved the minimalist Crank Brothers' Egg Beaters pedals. Some, however, didn't like their dainty platform--it wasn’t exactly the cats meow for more aggressive styles of riding. The Crank Brothers' Candy addresses such issues.
 
10-27-05 // TESTED: Crank Brothers Mallet C
The Bike magazine test crew evaluates Crank Brothers' new, big and sturdy Mallet C downhill pedal. The combination of the Crank Brother's Eggbeater clip-in mechanism and a platform pedal make for a formidable footing formula.
 
2-14-05 // Tested: Race Face Deus Crank
Race Face's new crankset is light, strong and a good deal less expensive than its prime competitor: Shimano's XTR crankset.
 
11-25-02 // Tested: Crank Bros Twin Ti Egg Beater Pedals
For 2003, Crank Brothers ups the ante in the pedal market with the new Twin Ti Egg Beater pedal. These pedal are sure to be a hit with the weight-conscious cross country race crowd.
