The fastest socks ever!

Sockeloen claims to have invented the aero sock—one of the, if not the most revolutionary aero upgrades of the cycling industry in the past few years. They have now developed the fastest aero sock on the market and we are very excited too be working with them on an Oak x Sockeloen Fastest Sock On The Planet colab so… Stay tuned!

New best carb mix?

Our friends at Edge just released their new Hydro Max fuel, which is a high carb drink mix they’ve been developing for a while. I personally really like the taste of it, especially the fact that it’s not very sweet, considering the amount of carbs per serving… You should definitely give it a try and let me know what you think!

How aero can you be and why?

I know I’ve been talking a lot about “aero” recently but that is where the industry is heading and it’s actually very interesting. This recent podcast with Dan Bigham (the man who kind of started the whole aero frenzy) gets quite nerdy but is very informative on the matter.

Niche brands FTW

In the podcast above they mention niche cycling brands, which as I touched on in the last newsletter, I’m quite a fan of. Today I’d like to shoutout Morimono. Yes, again. I told you guys about their new saddle bag, and now that I’ve been using it for a few rides, I have to say that no one has ever been able to make a small, sleek, lightweight, minimalistic bag that fits a TPU tube, 2x CO2 cartridges (!), tire levers, a CO2 inflator, an extra battery, a plug kit AND a multi-tool. It looks great, the material feels amazing and it’s extremely easy to attach/ remove from the bike!
