Introducing the Cannondale Trail 5: An Affordable Entry-Level MTB for Mountain Riding

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com October 20, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Riders who are starting mountain riding can get an exciting experience just by riding slowly on a mountain forest road or single trail. This is because the enjoyment of mountain riding is often sufficient even without the use of speed or advanced skills.
For riders who want to ride lightly on mountain trails, an MTB with high-end specifications can be expensive, so Cannondale is releasing the Trail series, an MTB with reduced burden. Among them, let’s meet the entry-level model, Trail 5.

sturdy aluminum frame

Cannondale, long known as a renowned manufacturer of aluminum frames, applied SmartForm alloy to the Trail series. Among the Smart Foam alloys that provide excellent quality for the price, the Trail 5 model introduced this time uses Smart Foam C3, and the higher-grade Trail SL 4 uses Smart Foam C2 alloy to improve quality.

The biggest attraction of the Trail 4 with Smartform C3 alloy is its price advantage. With a consumer price of less than 1 million won and the recent discount added, it can be purchased for around 700,000 won. For a bike with a frame and basic specifications suitable for mountain riding, the price is quite affordable.

Smartform C3 alloy provides solid quality for the price.

A low stance was applied and gussets were added to increase durability.

Frame durability sufficient for basic mountain riding

stable control

The Cannondale Trail series is a hardtail MTB bike, but it basically has a geometry that allows mountain trail riding. Equipped with a relatively low stance, short stem, and long handlebars, you can feel stable during riding such as flow trails.

You can ride with confidence on a variety of courses.

From mountaineering to commuting

Cannondale Trail 5 is not a product for advanced skills such as jumps and drops on mountain courses. It is designed to enable stable downhilling while riding a mountain trail as if exercising, and the high gear ratio helps you continue pedaling even on a course with a strong incline.
In addition, there is an eyelet on the back for mounting a luggage rack, and the QR lever wheel allows for easy repairs such as punctures.
Using these characteristics, it can be a comfortable commuting bike for riders who ride on the road at a speed of around 20 km/h. Of course, it can be expanded further and used for bicycle trips such as cross-country travel.

Designed for stable downhills and comfortable uphills on mountain courses

30T chainring provides a wide range of gear ratios. Even uphill hills with high inclines are quite leisurely.

Both front and rear wheels are equipped with QR levers, making it easy to repair punctures.

A QR lever is used to conveniently adjust the saddle height.

Eyelet design that allows installation of luggage racks

If the speed is around 20 km/h, it is a good choice for a comfortable commute or bicycle trip.

Pro Jeong Won-jun, who conducted the test review together, said that he was attracted to the frame that delivers strong and elastic force when climbing slopes, and that he experienced the reliability of Cannondale aluminum on bumps and drifts when going downhill.
In particular, Cannondale’s SAVE micro-suspension system features smooth driving, and the neat 1×10 shifting system emphasizes that even beginner riders can easily adapt.

It is characterized by the rough touch of mountain riding left behind in the painting. A silver finish is applied to the frame, as if mud was splattered after riding, to convey a dynamic feeling.

WTD Ranger 2.25 inch tires

Cannondale Stage 3 saddle provides comfort and support even on the mountain.

Specifications

Product name Cannondale Trail 5 Frame Smartform C3 alloy fork SR Suntour Derailleur Microshift Advent 25Actual weight 14kg (excluding pedals, size M) Consumer price KRW 990,000 (currently on KRW 79,2000 discount promotion)

Start the fun of riding.

If you want to enjoy cycling as a sport, there are times when the price of the bicycle, which is more expensive than expected, stops you. A slightly cheaper hybrid bike is a good choice, but if there is a mountain course nearby, I would like to try mountain riding.
In this situation, the Cannondale Trail 5 could be a good choice. This is because you can get an accessible price of 790,000 won with a discount, reliable frame quality, and a brand called Cannondale.
If you want to enjoy the pleasure of cycling as a sport and reliably experience a variety of riding such as commuting and traveling, the Cannondale Trail 5 seems to be a very attractive choice, although it may be a little slower.

Archangel Michael’s Day Celebrations and Political Tensions on La Palma

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 30, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Today is the great day of Archangel Michael. This has a certain meaning here on the island. After all, the boy is not only the patron saint of Tazacorte but actually of the entire island. At least that’s what the name “San Miguel de La Palma” says. In reality, the island is more likely to have the Virgin de las Nieves as its patron saint. Double and/or multiple protection always works better and sometimes tradition does the rest. You can also see this in El Paso. The Virgin de la Bonanza is actually the village saint, and the fact that Bonanza means something like prosperity certainly played a role in the finding of the saint back then. Actually, we’re more likely to celebrate the Virgin del Pino here, and since it’s always associated with a huge party, it’s somehow more popular. The Archangel Michael is the big man in Tazacorte and is carved in stone on the plaza in the middle of the fountain. Since such an archangel is a church story, there was a big service today. There is a tradition that the island boss appears in church and asks the angel to do his part for the well-being of the island. The clergy then sit there in their festive robes and listen to the church politician. Sergio Rodriguez said he was proud to be able to do this after three months in office and recalled the importance of the Archangel for the island and the tradition that has existed for 500 years. He focused on Tazacorte and also reviewed a little of the history of the place. Among other things, he mentioned the town’s accidental independence from Spain in 1911, which was only very brief and rather unintentional. He also emphasized the character of the Bagañetes, which was characterized by a particular stubbornness and their own rebelliousness. It is precisely this quality, he emphasized with great excitement, that is currently important for the island. And so he encouraged not only Tazacorte but the entire valley and the entire island in the currently difficult reconstruction situation. However, it was important to him to ask the archangel to be helpful. Above all, and Sergio was a party politician again, he asked that the archangel ensure that the government in Madrid contributed the necessary liquid funds. The help could actually be necessary. Today the formation of the right-wing government in Madrid has failed. And the Coalición Canarias has bet on this horse and sold one vote at a really high price, meaning Madrid is pushing money to the Canary Islands and not asking what the CC is doing with it. But that doesn’t work and the PSOE’s efforts were quickly rejected. But if Pedro Sánchez is now cobbling together a majority, then that will be without the CC, and it has already offended a number of other regional parties in advance. A parliamentary majority for projects or financial injections in the Canary Islands is not exactly any more likely. Because of this clear positioning, including towards the right-wing extremists of VOX, there is already a bit of simmering within the party. In the past, people have always tried to side with the small regional parties in order to get as much out of it as possible for their own region. Although we will definitely get together again very quickly, if it serves our own or even a shared agenda. Depending on the level, the alliances are different anyway. And so it’s fitting that today the PP is making fun of the fact that the CC managed to forget the suffering of the volcano victims in just 3 months. Representative Carlos Cabrera pointed out that the new government had not taken out any loans to give to those affected by the volcano. The opposition has always demanded that the island government take out 90 million euros in loans for this. Although the current government has taken out loans, this was done to finance festivals and sporting events. Mr. Cabrera doesn’t particularly want to criticize the fact that this wasn’t done, but he would think it would be desirable if his election promises were kept. So if Sergio doesn’t get any money from the bank and at the same time the connection to the Madrid parliament isn’t the best, then it would be smart for Sergio to ask the Archangel for support in the negotiations.

Enhance Your Tubeless Riding Experience with Premium Quality Tubeless Accessories from Pittis

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

These days, tubeless is quite a choice when it comes to setting bicycle tires. Although it is a bit more difficult than a clincher tire that inserts a tube when installing, it is because the preference for tubeless tires increases as the prevention of punctures improves along with the improvement in rolling performance.
For this reason, tubeless parts that emphasize more comfortable setting and performance are being released. Peaty’s, a premium parts brand in the UK, is attracting attention by introducing tubeless items with improved quality with the highest quality materials.

Convenient and compact plugger kit

Punctures in tubeless tires are automatically repaired by sealant in the case of small holes, but if a slightly larger hole occurs, air and sealant leak little by little and cannot be filled. In this case, you need to insert a plug into the hole so that the air does not leak and you can continue riding.

Tubeless tire users carry a plug tool to repair a puncture like this, and we introduced the plugger kit of Pitis, which has a compact size and high perfection developed with Chris King.

The plugger kit is designed with a repair awl in a lightweight 7075 alloy body, and was developed to accommodate two types of plugs inside. Even if it has everything you need, its strength is its light weight of 20g and compact size, and it also has the charm of being able to choose from a variety of colors.
In particular, the design of the awl is unique. Unlike the awl, which is generally composed of two pins side by side, it is composed of two pins with different lengths so that the plug can be easily inserted into a small hole.

Pittis Plugger Puncture Repair Kit
Consumer price: KRW 39,000

Consists of two sizes of plug and awl tools

The body, which is highly complete with Krisking’s manufacturing technology, is separated into two pieces.

It can be stored by inserting a plug on the side with the awl.

It has a structure in which an awl and a plug can be inserted together on the handle side.

It is very portable due to its compact size.

The tip of the awl is designed to be long and sharp on one side, distinguishing it from general plug tools.

In this form, the plug can be easily inserted even in a small hole.

Total weight including 6 plugs is 22g

Tubeless valves in a variety of sizes and colors

The valve of the tubeless wheel is included in the bicycle by default, but it is often replaced with a new valve for lighter weight and color points.
You might think that the performance of the valve itself is so important, but the tubeless valve should have excellent airtightness without leaking and have a low impact on the high-speed rotation of the wheel with light weight. There is nothing more to wish for if you can add points through color.

Pitis’ tubeless valve was developed with world-renowned Chris King in alloy processing, so you can feel the excellent finish, completeness, and color sense.
In addition, the length of the valve is also released in various lengths such as 42, 60, and 80mm, so you can choose a product that fits most wheel sets from mountain bikes to road bikes.

Another thing to pay attention to in the pitis tubeless valve is the valve cap. Two valve caps are included for different functions, one can be used as a core tool and the other can be used as a spoke tool.

Consumer price: KRW 48,000

With various colors and sizes such as 42mm, 60mm, and 80mm, there is a wide range of choices.

Collaboration with Chris King shows a neat finish.

Structure that makes it easy to inflate even when an insert is inserted

The valve cap can be utilized as two different tools.

One is a tool to unscrew the valve core

The finish of the core also shows a very high level of perfection.

The other valve cap can be utilized with a spoke wrench (3.4mm).

It is appropriate to use a valve that is 20mm longer than the rim depth.

60mm is about 6g, 80mm is about 8g, belongs to the ultra-lightweight valve.

Sealant with biodegradable ingredients

The most important thing to pay attention to when setting up tubeless tires is the choice of sealant. Most recent sealants do not contain ammonia, so they have high chemical safety, and phytis sealants do not use ammonia.
Pytis has become more eco-friendly by using biodegradable fibers and particles, and it does not harden easily inside the tire, so it shows performance for up to 6 months.
Also, blue particles can be found on the bottom of the package, which quickly fills large holes in the tires. So, it is necessary to shake the phytis sealant enough to mix the blue particles evenly before use.

phytis sealant
120ml: KRW 13,000, 500ml: KRW 33,000, 1L: KRW 47,000

Blue biodegradable particles are included at the bottom to effectively block large holes.

If you shake it well before use, the blue particles will enter together when inserted.

There is a 100ml scale on the side of the sealant container, so it is easy to adjust the volume.

Cut off the tip of the cap to fit the size of the mouthpiece.

Using the enclosed silicone tube, sealant can be put through the valve.

120ml small volume sealant

The half volume, 60 ml, is marked with a scale.

If you separate the core of the pitis valve, it is easy to insert the sealant because the size fits perfectly with the inlet.

High-strength rim tape with neat adhesion

Recently, wheelsets are set tubeless from the time of sale, so there is little demand for tubeless rim tapes. Still, good quality rim tape is necessary because there are cases in which tubeless rim tape work is repeated after damage to the rim tape or wheel repair.

Pitis rim tape is made of two layers, so it has high tensile strength, and its adhesive strength is excellent, so it has a high degree of completion after work. In addition, a high-adhesive finishing tape is also included, which effectively prevents air and sealant from leaking through the last part of the rim tape.
Although it is a rim tape with high grip, one of the strengths of the pitis rim tape is that it falls off cleanly when removed.

Pitis tubeless rim tape
Consumer price: KRW 29,000

Sizes are sold in 21mm, 25mm, and 30mm.
You can choose the same size as the inside width of the rim or a size up to 4mm larger.

It is a double layer of transparent color and has high durability and tensile strength.

Four finishing stickers are included to increase the airtightness of the tip of the rim tape.

Paste the tape from a place more than 10cm away from the valve hole.

It is important to strongly pull and attach it, and to place it evenly on the left and right.

After winding more than 10 cm from the valve hole, cut it off with scissors.

Attach the finishing sticker to the end of the tape.

A sticker with high adhesive strength and elasticity, the tip of the tape opens and prevents air leakage.

The transparent material makes it easy to find spoke holes and valve holes.

Drill a hole in the valve hole with an awl.

Insert the tubeless valve and the rim tape job is done

Tubeless conversion kit purchased as a package

Pitis’ tubeless conversion kit is a product that bundles rim tape, valves, and sealant for tubeless work into one package. The packaging of the integrated package is neat, and the price is more attractive than buying individually, so it is recommended for first time or new tubeless work.

Kits are separated for mountain (XC/trail) and road (road/gravel) use, with the mountain package being more expensive as it includes two 120ml sealants.

The Pitis Tubeless Conversion Kit is a package of items necessary for new work.

The road/gravel kit includes a 60mm valve, 21mm rim tape and one 120ml sealant.
Consumer price: KRW 76,000

The XC/Trail kit includes 42mm valves, 25mm rim tape and two 120ml sealants.
Consumer price: KRW 93,000

Pitis selection for quality and style

Pittis products are branded by Steve Pitt, a legendary downhill player in England, and are increasing the reliability of their quality. As a former player, it has received good reviews for its detailed design and completeness, and it is more attractive with the addition of design elements that lead the latest trends.
The tubeless parts introduced this time also raised satisfaction with the high degree of perfection that paid attention to the meticulous parts while touching them directly. If you want to be satisfied with quality while saving style, Pitis will be a recommended choice.

Sea Otter Classic 2021: A Review of Free Coffee from Continental, Shimano, Specialized, and Canyon

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com April 24, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

At the Sea Otter Classic, an annual springtime racing and commercial goods and culture event that opens the official bike season, I joined around 4 million other bike industry people in California. After recovering from a brain injury, I decided to come and be a part of the bike world again at Sea Otter, which seemed logical after building so much of my life around it. Figuring out whether or not I should work was a bit of a balancing act, but I decided to write a few articles while I was there, focusing on softer but compelling topics like coffee since bike tech dominates the event.

My first stop was at the Continental tent, which happened to be right next to Pinkbike’s. After a bit of a wait in line, I chose the option of either espresso or Americano since Continental had technical difficulties with their portable fridge and didn’t have any milk. The black coffee was a little disappointing since I couldn’t add half-and-half as I usually do, but it was passable. It’s worth noting that the Continental coffee tent also had a foosball table outside, which was a nice touch.

Next, I went to the Shimano booth and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of wait. The barista brewed coffee quickly, and it was easy to drink, very pleasant, less strong than that of Continental, and more smooth than biting. It’s similar to how Shimano components are user-friendly, so the coffee feels congruent with the brand.

Specialized, known for its crowd-pleasing products, also did not disappoint with its coffee stand. There was a vast menu of seemingly every kind of coffee drink imaginable, and the coffee itself tasted a little muted, maybe dusty, nothing remotely harsh or edgy or “bright.”

Lastly, I visited the Canyon booth, which was within view of Pinkbike’s. After a short wait, I had my Americano, and I asked for some oat or macadamia milk since they didn’t have any refrigeration issues, unlike cow’s milk. The Canyon coffee was quite nice, despite my not wanting to drink any more coffee that day. I’ll take the long-shot guess that the roast level is medium, more “bright” than “earthy” but still seeming very well balanced.

Overall, my roundup of the free coffee of Sea Otter was a pleasant experience. It’s worth noting that I probably missed a booth or two since the event is so vast. However, these personal opinions and experiences are nothing remotely scientific, but drinking free coffee and walking around while chatting with bike people was a decent enough excuse for me to ramble in an article a bit.

Shimano Aspire & Aerolite Sunglasses: The Perfect Combination of Style and Functionality for Biking Enthusiasts

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com March 21, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Shimano (SHIMANO) sunglasses have received great interest in 2021 as they have been completely changed from existing ones. This is because not only has it been transformed into a clean and sophisticated design, but also the Ridescape lens has been adopted that filters background color noise by adjusting ultra-precise color transmission curves to secure an optimized field of view.
This has increased the visual contrast and reduced eye fatigue, as well as changed the lens type to enable riding in various environmental conditions, increasing interest in Shimano sunglasses.
And this year, a new product with easy lens replacement and riding vision was newly released. Introducing the second-generation S-Phyre, which allows easy lens replacement with a magnetic mechanism, and the Aerolite, which provides a clear view while riding.

6 types of lenses

As for the lens type, HC types have been added to the existing ES, RD, OR, GR, and PH, so you can choose more widely according to the riding environment, purpose, and weather, and there is a clear lens, CL.

ES has a visible light transmittance of 13% and blocks extreme glare caused by strong sunlight and reflected light. The high contrast provides sharp, clear vision with details.

The newly added HC, like the ES, is a high-contrast lens that is effective in blocking strong sunlight and reflected light. The visible light transmittance is the same at 13%, but the lens color is brown, unlike the red of the ES.

The RD was aimed at road riding enjoyed in normal sunny weather. With a visible light transmittance of 21%, it is adjusted to suit the rainy weather, so there is no problem in recognizing road textures and obstacles at a distance.

GR is a lens targeting the gravel course, and its visible light transmittance is 21%, the same as RD. However, the lens color is blue, so it shows a more natural color on unpaved roads with less reflected light than asphalt.

OR is a lens for trail courses. With a visible light transmittance of 35%, it is suitable for securing a clear view even in areas with severe differences in illumination, such as in the shade of trees.

PH is a photochromic lens that changes the density of the lens depending on the amount of light, and is well suited for users who ride in situations where the intensity of light changes. It takes about 8 seconds to change from the brightest density to the darkest density, and about 35 seconds to change from the darkest density to the brightest density, so it quickly adapts to the change of time zone.
Since the light transmittance is very wide at 17-85%, it can be an item that can be worn all day.

CL is a clear lens that can be worn at night. With a visible light transmittance of 82%, it is good to wear in cloudy weather or at night while blocking ultraviolet rays. At night, the surface is coated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare from vehicle headlights.

All lenses of Shimano sunglasses are made of polyamide or polycarbonate. It is lightweight, strong against impact, has little refraction, and secures a comfortable view. Multi-coating is applied to the surface of the lens, so it is not easily contaminated by water and dust.

There are various lenses that can be selected for each model, such as ES, RD, OR, GR, PH, and HC.

RD is aimed at road riding enjoyed in normal sunny weather and has a visible light transmittance of 21%.

OR is a lens for trail courses and has a visible light transmittance of 35%.

PH changes the lens density according to the amount of light, and the light transmittance is 17 to 85%.

All lenses of Shimano sunglasses are made of polyamide or polycarbonate.
It is not easily contaminated by water and dust due to multi-coating.

Easy to attach and detach with aspire and magnetic

The biggest feature of Aspire sunglasses, the top-of-the-line lineup of Shimano products, is that the lenses are magnetically detachable.
The frame is designed only on the top of the lens, and the lens edge is magnetically attached rather than inserted into the frame, so replacement is very easy.
With the structure that connects the lens and the frame to the exact location of the magnetic magnetism, there is no need to worry about the lens being separated while driving.

Aspire’s lens types are ES, RD, OR, and GR, which can be worn widely from road racing to gravel and trail courses, and a CL lens is included as standard.

The design is sleeker and simpler than before, and the aerodynamic performance is improved by applying the integrated design of the frame and lens. In addition, it is in harmony with the light and close-fitting temples, so the fit is stable.
The nose pad is interchangeable, includes two heights and is very easy to change.

Aspire 2nd generation with magnetic lens mounting method
Consumer price: KRW 210,000

Aspire’s lens types are ES, RD, OR, GR, and include clear lenses.

Lens type – RD

It is magnetically inserted into the left and right upper corner grooves.

Lens type – OR

With a structure that fits into a magnetic and precise groove, there is little to worry about the lens falling out while riding.

The lens can be easily removed by sliding it outward.

Aspire comes with a clear lens as standard, so you can easily and conveniently replace it at any time.

Easy-to-fit nose pad

The pad part of the nose pad can be replaced.

Two height silicone pads are included.

The temples are flexible but firmly hold the hair.

Temples with long anti-slip pads

Aerolight, lower half frame for clear vision

The Aerolite is a half-frame structure with no frame at the top. It is characterized by frequent position changes and the fact that the sunglasses do not block the field of view even if they slide slightly down the bridge of the nose due to shaking.
In addition, since there is no view blocked by the upper frame of the sunglasses even when riding a road with a low posture, a much cooler view is secured.

Aerolite also designed lens exchange to be relatively easy, and it is possible to change lenses by pulling the end of one corner and removing only the partially inserted clip. It is convenient because it has a structure that allows you to remove and insert the frame without straining your fingers.

There are two types of lenses that can be selected, a high-contrast lens, HC, and a self-tinting lens, PH. The CL lens is not included as standard.

The nose pad has an adjustable structure, so you can adjust the distance between the lens and the face to suit your fit. A water clip can be mounted on the nose pad, which provides an optimized shape and size for the Aerolite.

Aerolight with lower frame for visibility
Consumer price: HC 85,000 won / PH 145,000 won

The upper frame of the sunglasses does not block the view while riding.

Clear Vision Lenses – HC

Photochromic lenses according to light intensity – PH

Indoor PH lenses change to clear, so you can wear them all day long.

lower half frame structure

The lens can be easily removed by slightly pulling the frame on the side.

Like full-frame sunglasses, you can change lenses without changing nose pads.

Equipped with a water clip on the nose pad

You can purchase a power clip that is optimized for the Aerolite.

The nose pad is a way to freely adjust the height.

The length of the temple is short, so there is little interference with the helmet.

Temple design with inward curved tips and non-slip treatment

Updated convenience and attractive price

Just as you repeatedly put on and take off your clothes depending on the weather, there are times when you want to change the lenses of your sunglasses often. However, due to the cumbersome replacement work, most of them do not replace them or purchase sunglasses with different lenses separately.
Because of this, I was very sympathetic to Shimano’s method of replacing the 2nd generation Aspire sunglasses, which I did not even use properly even the clear lens included in the product, let alone prepare the desired lens for each color.
The design fully reflects the latest trends, and the fit is not uncomfortable even on a face with a low nose bridge.
In addition, Aerolite has no inconvenience in the field of view due to the upper frame, so it is a very specialized design for bicycle riders. It can be used conveniently for everything from road riding to gravel riding where sunglasses shake on rough roads, and the short temple helmet and less interference are also satisfactory points.

Shimano’s sunglasses are expected to be an attractive item for riders who are looking for new sunglasses because of their high-performance lenses, high-quality frame design, and yet reasonable price range.
