Well, it looks like I have finally defected to the Dark Side and invested in a new road bike – A Felt F95 2014 in black and green. First ride later today and expect a review soon(ish) 🙂

As the owner of a couple of Cube mountain bikes, I’ve got used to the fact that you need to change the pedals out as the ones fitted to the sub £1000 bikes are generally a load of crap! So, on the latest Cube, I’ve stripped the factory installed scrap metal and replaced them with a nice set of DMR V8’s in black. The DMR’s have a pretty cool design with a few adjustable grub screws along with the permanent spikes that help keep your feet in place when riding along.
As a cyclist, I’ve never felt particularly comfortable with Cleats and having my foot attached to the pedal. I much prefer the ability to simply lift my foot up and seperate it from the bike without arsing around twisting and clipping and generally making the process far too convoluted for my liking.
So I’ve had the Zoom MT-106a bar ends on the bike for a couple of weeks now and had the opportunity to give them a good testing in various conditions, wet, dry, muddy, etc. I feel like it’s a good time to offer a brief review of the product from a practical usage point of view as well as from a quality point of view.
So, firstly I’ll go over the quality of the product.
