Saddle Slingers: Behind the Jersey

Saddle Slingers: Behind the Jersey

Written by Kate Thayer, on Jun 30, 2022

With any kick-ass group there must be an accompanying kick-ass shirt (obviously). It’s for this exact reason that the Saddle Slingers needed their very own snazzy jersey. Out of this necessity, one such snazzy jersey was indeed created. SHOP THE SADDLE SLINGERS JERSEYS  Our riders KJ and Madi had a lot...

Shimano GRX vs SRAM AXS vs Campagnolo Ekar - Best Bike Groupsets

Written by Alvin Holbrook, on Jun 15, 2022

We love our gravel bikes, and part of it is for the innovation and new technologies sprouting up. With as much innovation and change as is happening, however, finding the right groupset for your needs (and wants) can be difficult. What is someone to do to parse the differences and...
