A Blog post and update

Hi all, well I have been busy! I have started a contract of Beta testing with quite a big brand, which means finding time for YouTube, around my work and daily life is hard! But it's getting me riding more and really fit, about time! I am under NDA on it, but I hope to share it with you all in the near future. The riding is all on MTB and requires 10h+ a week.

Secondly I want to share with you a new tshirt design I created, all patrons can get 15% off merch in the peak-torque.com store (PATRONMERCH15). Reminds me of days with my best mate, practicing 2-up TTs for the minimum number of laps before we could hit the coffee shop, absolutely hapless and tragic in all our aero kit!

Wheels. I have another 2 wheel reviews coming soon, one being 9Velo and the other Winspace. The former is very interesting, one of the OG Xiamen carbon OEMs have launched a brand using their in-house hubs to get the price down. The rrp of the set I am testing is 799USD, including CX-ray spokes and the hubs contain Enduro bearings - although not top tier, pretty good for this price point. The Winspace D67s....well. Stiff as hell. A bit too stiff for everyday riding on my rough roads, but they are king of the aero test and would be the go-to road bike TT wheelset for me.
