Bont Gen2 Crono – Exclusive Pictures of the New Release
LOS ANGELES – At the finish line of the Tour of California I was about to catch up with Bont’s very own CEO Steven Nemeth. At first glance he gave the impression of a completely composed and polished Australian gentleman. Then I looked at his shoes and saw all the stuff mom warned me about. That’s because earlier this year the Bont Crono, a time trial specific shoe, became...

Bont Crono shoes banned by UCI
International cycling race governing body UCI has banned Bont’s Crono shoe from all races. The shoe manufacturer was informed by email in April. UCI rules state that “non-essential items of clothing designed to influence the performances of the rider” are prohibited and forbidden.

At first glance they offer the sleek performance, look and feel that we are used to seeing in shoes...

Armstrong Tweets From Tour De France “Got some good “road rash” on the hip and elbow. Bike mangled, cleat on the shoe completely cracked in two. Hope it’s dry tomorrow” Im guessing Lance will be ok and you can bet a fresh pair of shoes and cleats were ready to go. Makes you wonder if they have a pair already broke in or if  they anticipate needing to switch out foot...

Speedplay X Why And Zero
There was a time when I knew every nut and bolt on my bike. As I got older and busier I spent less time concerned about every detail of my ride and more interested in finding time to ride. Thats why over the last two weeks I spent some frustrated moments trying to clip into my Speedplays and wondering what the hell I did wrong installing some new clips. I just couldn’t get clipped in with any...
