Ride & Review: Reserve wheels, Fillmore valves, Continental tyres, Wahoo Elemnt Ace cycle computer

One ride, many topics. Scroll through the ‘Chapters’ of this video because a test session that began with a focus on tyres and wheels (as part of an ongoing series) soon switched to a review of the (relatively) new Wahoo Elemnt Ace – a 208 gram monster of a cycle computer. The Elemnt Ace is packed with an impressive list of features but its sheer bulk interrupted the flow of thoughts about the new Reserve 42|49 wheelset, and 32mm Continental GP5000 AS TR tyres. Still, plenty of comments are offloaded during a short but interesting ride that jumps from one topic to another ... resulting in an in-situ review of cycling products while on the saddle. – Rob PS.
