Earlier this year, Wolf Tooth announced aero chainrings for Shimano cranks and this week, the brand released its chainrings for use with SRAM gravel and road cranksets. Just like the Shimano rings, these SRAM rings were designed with performance in mind and feature a clean, integrated look that matches the profile of the crankarm or spider. New sizes include 46, 48, 50, and 52T depending on mount. They are compatible with most 12-speed chains and optimized for SRAM Eagle and Flattop chains, including Transmission. All Wolf Tooth chainrings are machined with 7075-T6 aluminum at Wolf Tooth in Minnesota, USA.

As the longest-running adventure, lifestyle, and alternative cycling website, we’ve been accumulating massive amounts of videos since migrating to WordPress in 2008. By our last tallying, that includes over 8000 videos, spanning across every path of cycling culture. To make things a little easier to navigate, we’re starting to roll out some simple tweaks and large restructuring improvements over the next few weeks. The first sampling is currently available; a new Video Category page.

You can access this by clicking the hamburger menu at the top right of the menu, or simply click the video category tag on any video. This is where we’ll pin our video projects to the top. More granular breakdown of the content itself is on the way, too…

And as always, if you like and subscribe to our YouTube channel, it’ll help us make more documentaries like From Biocrust, With Love.

You might have noticed that a lot of things seem to suck right now… The Shitthropocene is a mock anthropological view of humanity’s consumption habits, turning a satirical (yet brutally honest) eye on how everything is turning to shit and why the impulse towards more might destroy us all.

3M’s VViViD tape can offer peace of mind if you’re worried about strapping bags to your new bike’s fresh paint. We review a lot of bikes over here at The Radavist, and with each frame sent to us comes a responsibility to treat the bike as if it were our own. Many of these bikes get bags or other gear strapped to them throughout the review period. Over the past few years, John’s been using this protective tape to protect his review bikes, and it’s cheaper than you’d think…

Hutchinson just announced its latest drop bar tire: the Caracal Race and it has us asking ourselves, when will gravel racing tires just be completely bald? When a tire prioritizes performance and lightness and features a bare center tire pattern, at the expense of grip, durability, and puncture resistance, it feels more road-racing-oriented. It’s almost like gravel racing has become road racing. Or another question is, do you even need tread on a gravel racing tire? Let us know in the comments.
