Wahoo Fitness Fan

Now 14% Off

Trainer season has arrived in the northern hemisphere and this fan could be the ultimate upgrade to your indoor cycling experience. I say so based on several seasons of using one in my pain cave. It’s quiet (far quieter than any other fan I’ve tried), powerful, and offers several control options. Manually control the speed from Wahoo’s app, pair it to a heart rate strap so fan speed increases with your heart rate, or pair it to your trainer so fan speed increases with your virtual bike speed.

Garmin Varia RTL515

Now 12% Off

Sadly, I’ve gotten more paranoid riding on the road in the last few years. I won’t ride without this nifty radar blinky light—and I don’t think anyone should, either. I particularly appreciate how the Varia adjusts its blink pattern and intensity as it detects cars getting closer. This at least gives me hope that I’ve given myself the best chance at being seen by drivers.

The Shift Split Mag, among Smith’s best due to its flexible fit, visual clarity, comfort, and style, comes with several lens options including the brand’s color-enhancing ChromaPop technology. It ships with a hard case plus an additional clear lens for low-light protection. Where these really stand apart from the rest is how fast and hassle-free it is to change out the lenses.

Reliable Wrench

Park Tool Torque Wrench

Now 22% Off

A quality torque wrench is crucial for working on modern bikes. Every bolt and component on bikes now comes with a torque rating. While some longtime mechanics swear by their years of experience, for the rest of us, a quality torque wrench is a much more reliable way of avoiding damaged components while making sure things are tightened properly.
