#ProductReview | Nu-Vin saddle by JustOne (Photos & Video)

Hi riders, here we come again with more product reviews!

Do you remember our past post about our customized saddle created by JustOne? (link) In this case we want to show you a handmade saddle created by JustOne called Nu-Vin, and why this rare name? 

Well, Nu-Vin saddle is a modern feel with vintage style, and completely customized. They developed the Nu-Vin saddle base on the very popular "Regal" saddle, with a mix of modern feel with wintage style.

They worked with Leather Tanneries to develope a line of leather that is bast for the unique conditions of a bicycle saddle. Beveled edge screw post made from solid brass finished in nickel plate (our model) or antique brass gives a classic vintage look to our bike.

For us, we have customized the saddle with a hot pink leather (pink is our color as you sure know....), in few days we received in Spain the saddle really well packed to arrive in perfect conditions, no issues!

Montréal Cycling Cap review

"Combining style and function, these hats keep the rain, sweat, and sun out of your eyes without fear of the wind blowing it right off. Rock the brim flipped up, or down under your helmet (safety first!) and rep your local pride." -Madeinmtl

The design is screen printed by hand and refers to the architecture of Montreal's Biosphère. All designs are original creations from Disamare, a company founded by 2 lovers of DIY and bikes!

-Cotton fabric prewashed and medium thickness ( hand wash recommended + do not put it in the clothes dryer machine)
- Perfect for wearing under an helmet and to protect yourself from drafts or absorb sweat
-Rigid visor reinforced with plastic and short ( 2 inches). It rises easily to not obstruct the view

They have two sizes!
The (Small -Med ) is normally a single size which fits all types of heads with the elastic . But to satisfy the biggest heads, if you are unsure or afraid to feel cramped, we made a (Med- width ), which also fits with an elastic.

Important: The fabric of each cap is printed manually (silk screening) with fabric ink that has been heated to avoid damages. In addition, the silk screening sometimes alters the pattern which can be darker or less apparent at some spots. For Disamare team, this feature is far from being a failure and indeed, the charm of a manual printing process! Each hat is truly unique and valuable.

Pedalbelt: Our review of this leather pedal straps

Pedalbelt

Today we want to talk about Pedalbelt, as you can remember, we had made a post about this interesting project born in Canada by Colin Soper. Now, in this post, we will make our product review of this amazing leather pedal straps.

We used to pedal with strap made of fabric, but in this case, we have the Pedalbelts, made of high quality leather and seared with the logo of Pedalbelt as you can see in the photos.

Adjusting screws of the Pedalbelt

To mount this straps in the pedals is really easy, you only have two screws to adjust the two strips and you're done!

A positive point is that the straps are made ​​of leather, it allows always get stuck with shape of the foot and is easy to put in and take the foot of them.

Pedalbelt is a foot retention system for flat platform pedals that offers strength, durability,and comfort. Pedalbelts work without a cage and are wider than traditional straps.  They are made with premium buffalo leather, brass eyelets and stainless steel hardware which is both resistant and looks better with age.  

Pedalbelts newly mounted!

Design

The unique design of the Pedalbelt is simple, yet elegant.  It is made from the absolute best materials; creating an incredibly durable, bulletproof product. Pedalbelts are extremely easy to install, are available in a variety of colours, and allow you to quickly customize your ride. 

Testing the Pedalbelts

 

Why are Pedalbelts different?

Pedalbelts are the only straps to become better with age.  With time the leather will mold into the shape of your feet becoming only more comfortable and the brass eyelets with develop a classic patina. 

 

Conclusion

• High quality materials, is genuine leather!
• Easy to mount in your pedals
• Colors: tan, honey brown, concrete, burnt red 
• Elegant design, become better with age
