Great Gauge
Topeak SmartGauge D2
Now 10% Off
A digital tire pressure gauge is a great addition to any cyclist’s tool box. A pressure gauge helps ensure consistent pressure between bike pumps.
This is helpful for cyclocross and mountain bike racing when you want to be precise about your PSI, and also important for fat bike tires using extremely low tire pressures.
Bike Bling
Muc-Off Tubeless Valves
Now 20% Off
When was the last time you checked your tubeless valves? If you answered with “I’m supposed to check my tubeless valves?” then you probably need to replace them.Tubeless sealant often clogs up the tubeless valve stem and core, making it hard to add pressure or top-up tire sealant. Muc-Off’s anodized valves add some color to your bike and the valve cap has an integrated valve core removal tool.
Trusty 10-Pack
Energizer 2032 Batteries
Now 44% Off
If your bike has electronic shifting or a power meter, there’s a good chance it uses 2032 coin cell batteries. These are commonly used in SRAM/Quarq, Stages, and 4iiii power meters. They're also found in SRAM’s AXS dropbar and pod shifters, and many brands’ heart rate monitors. A 10-pack should keep your bike’s devices and components supplied with batteries for a couple of years.

Super Security

This medium-security bike lock from Kryptonite incorporates a moderately long chain (47 inches). Chains are more flexible than U-Lock shackles, allowing for more locking options. It’s 4-digit resettable combination has 10,000 possible codes and this coils compactly for easy carrying.
Haul It All
Thule Pack ’n Pedal Basket
Now 20% Off
Bike baskets are the best. You can carry more stuff on your bike so you can use your bike more. And isn’t more time on the bike what we all want? The Pack ’n Pedal is generously sized yet not overwhelmingly huge (33.9 x 18.3 x 16.5 inches) and attaches to most front and rear racks.
Considering all the out-of-saddle riding that happens on trails both uphill and down, a budget saddle might be all you need for an awesome ride. This all-around, off-road saddle is designed to be supportive when you’re seated, so it’s a solid choice for gravel grinding as well as singletrack shredding. A slight center depression redistributes pressure from soft tissue to sit bones.
Capable Cooler
Pelican 20-Quart Elite Cooler
Now 20% Off
Save your Yeti cooler money for a Yeti bike and buy this Pelican cooler instead. It’ll keep those post ride beverages frosty, or keep your food fresh and ready for a weekend of car camping. Some color variants may offer greater discounts than others, so keep an eye on that for the most savings.

For Colder Water
Polar Bottle Insulated Sport Water Bottle

It’s already been a hot and steamy summer, but an insulated Polar Bottle will keep your fluids colder for longer. It won’t make the climb any easier, but at least you’ll get a more refreshing drink at the top. Keep an eye on the different color options for varying sale prices with this as well.

Reliable Radar
Garmin Varia Radar Taillight
I’ve gotten more and more paranoid riding on the road in the last few years, and at this point, I wouldn’t ride on the road without one of these radar blinky lights. With how quiet many new hybrid and electric cars are, the visual indication on my head unit that a car is behind me is very helpful. I appreciate how the Varia adjusts its blink pattern and intensity as it detects cars getting closer.
Marvelous Mount
Barfly 4 MTB Mount
Now 20% Off
There are a ton of options for mounting a computer to your mountain bike, but the Barfly 4 MTB mount is by far my favorite. It still attaches to the handlebars, but instead of placing your device in front of your handlebars, where it’s more vulnerable in the event of a crash, it puts your computer above the stem.
Unlike many other mounts, Barfly ships its mount with an adapter for Garmin, Polar, Wahoo, Mio, Joule, Cateye, and Bryton computers.
Top Tool
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. This tool allows you to make sure things are tightened properly while avoiding damage to components.
Investment Eyewear

Now 12% Off
The Wildcat is among Smith’s best sunglasses due flexible fit, visual clarity, comfort, and style. The glasses come in several lens options including the brand’s color-enhancing Chromapop technology. They ship with a hard case plus an additional clear lens for low light protection. These are great for riders who desire maximum coverage and a bold style.
Incredible Co2 Inflator
Lezyne Control Drive CO2 Bicycle Tire Inflator
There are many different CO2 inflators out there. Most will empty a CO2 cartridge into your tire just fine, but Lezyne Control Drive CO2 does that job just a bit better. The dial used to open and close the valve feels precise and robust, so if you use larger-size CO2 cartridges, you can dispense just the right amount of air without wasting the rest. Its CNC construction feels durable, plus it’s compatible with both Presta and Schrader valves.

Splash a little color onto your bike. These nylon-based pedals come with replaceable pins to fine-tune shoe grip, or if you wear them down. It’s handy to have an extra pair of pedals like these at home or in your vehicle for when a friend forgets theirs or wants to try your bike.

Finest First Aid
