Campagnolo’s Ekar 1×13 groupset intrigued us when John first rode it in his Cotic Escapade review. It’s a crisp-shifting, wide range gravel group that shifts like the almighty Campy 8-speed drivetrains. Announced today is the Ekar GT 1×13 Groupset with a new 10-48 cassette, lower price, revised hood ergonomics, and new Zonda GT Wheels. Let’s check it all out below…

Pardon our late-night post, but these bags are too good not to give some love. We’re big fans of camo-printed bags, and this limited edition Goldback bag from Bags by Bird has caught our eye…

We’d like to interrupt this holiday here in the States with a simple request for the readership. Would you kindly take a few seconds to Subscribe to our YouTube channel? It is free and only takes a second. We had to rebuild our channel after The Radavist returned to being independent once again and it’s taking a while to build up our subscribers again.

You can do so by simply clicking the button below.

Why do we need this? Well, we have a few VERY LARGE projects coming out and the more subscribers we have ensures the more people will see these projects. We’ve invested multiple years and tens of thousands of dollars on these videos, so we’re hoping to get the most out of dropping them on our YouTube.

We also have a great deal of smaller YouTube videos dropping this year, so any and every sub helps!

It’s not easy being independent media but y’all are really the best audience we could ask for.

Thank you!

Check out some of our favorite videos below!
