Josette Jersey
By SteveThis is our second review (and we have more to come) of Cafe du Cycliste products and all I can say is, they produce quality cycling garments. Well, I can say a bit more… This jersey the Josette is one of very few on the market, you could call it a niche product, certainly a seasonal one. For the Josette is a waterproof and windproof jersey. That’s right a … Read more

Lezyne Pressure Drive
By SteveI never intended to review this mini-pump and for the last year it’s sat in my jersey pocket as some sort of ballast, but no other purpose. that all changed last week with a spate of punctures, is it just me or do punctures attract more punctures? – even though I was thorough with my repairs… So this piece of pocket ballast got some action, so to speak. … Read more

Charge Duster 11
By DanRad. That’s the only word I can think of to describe the Charge Duster 11. The paint job? It’s Rad. The ride? That’s Rad. Gearing? Rad. There’s not many hardtail mountain bikes made from steel with a Shimano Alfine 11 hub around. The minimal look of a single speed but with a choice of 11 gears wide enough to get you up and down most terrain without wanting … Read more

Tern Eclipse P7i
By SteveIt is very much the belief of Headset Press that every type of cycling is valid and of interest. The type of cycling that is valid to everyone is commuting and cycling as part of the transport needs of humans. There is also no reason why this shouldn’t be done well and executed in good design and form. Tern has this at the core of it’s business and … Read more

Rothera Cycling Cap
By SteveRothera makes cycling caps, not those cheap cotton caps, but quality caps made to last a lifetime. You could ask why do I want a cap that costs $30? Why bother with a cap at all? $30 isn’t much of an outlay, and Rothera is actually one [very nice] guy who makes all his hats by hand in the USA. These are not made in mass, these are … Read more
