The Radavist

Bags. They’re easy to get addicted to. Especially ones that serve multiple disciplines within cycling. Handlebar bags are aplenty these days but it’s nice seeing some new takes on what is normally a very straightforward design.

The Biggish bag from Velo Orange is a multi-use bar or seat bag that expands to carry your ride’s essentials. It measures 13.5″ (34.3cm) wide, 9″ (22.8cm) high, and 6.5″ (16.5cm) deep when it is closed up. The interior is completely waterproof thanks to its seam-sealed design.

Made by Roadrunner Bags in Los Angeles and in stock now at Velo Orange for $180. Head to their blog for more photos and information.

i9’s newest wheels are designed for ‘cross, gravel, xc, and trail riding, but in a lighter package. The wheels we thought you’d be most interested in are the UL250 Carbon. These race-ready, lightweight (1320g for the set) wheels come in a 25mm ID, 24-hole count, with new carbon hoops, based on MTB XC racing tech. The new UL250c wheels roll in at $2500 and are fully customizable at Industry Nine’s AnoLab. You can also check out the aluminum version of the UL250 (1450g for the set), which retail for $1275.

If you were lucky enough to score one of these packs during Friday’s restock, this is what you’ve got to look forward to. The Catalyst is for riders with narrower bar widths and shallower head tube tolerances. It’s a mid-sized handlebar or seat pack, meant for light touring, gravel rides, and everything in between. Check out all the features in this new video…

Last week, we posted about Engin’s 35mm clamp MTB stems (by the way, ours showed up and they are super slick!), completely forgetting to drop a note for their new 31.8mm seatpost clamps.

Our friends at Abbey Bike Tools have their head in the right place with this giveaway:

“When the Grow Cycling Foundation started in the Summer of 2020 it was something that caught the eye of us here at Abbey. Grow’s goals weren’t small, and they would definitely need some help to accomplish their first big one, building a pump track in Los Angeles with the goal of bringing a more diverse group of people into cycling. So, we hit them up to see how we could help. Pump tracks do not come cheap, especially when you want to build them in a metro area like Los Angeles.

We have donated one of our Team Issue Toolboxes for a sweepstakes that is happening through the
month of February. Our goal is to raise a modest $10,000 dollars, 100% of which will go to Grow Cycling Foundation. The recipient will not only get one of the most sought after items in our range, but also an hour with the Abbey Ambassador Team featuring World Cup mechanics John Hall from Intense Factory Racing, Brad Copeland from Scott-SRAM, Verg from Scott USA and Jason from Abbey. There are decades of peak race and event service between this group and the tech advice that can come from this session is hard-earned and priceless.”

Enter here* to win the following:
-1 Team Issue Toolbox
-1 Hour with Abbey Ambassador Team (aka the best in the mechanic business)
*The sweepstakes is open to the US and Canada with the exception of New York and Quebec.
