My gear of the year<\/a> for 2021 features a classic mix of Simon von Bromley things; fast wheels, a wax-based chain lube, an aero bike, some incredibly narrow handlebars and short cranks.<\/p>\n

If you had your von Bromley Bingo card at the ready, well done to those who got every single one.<\/p>\n

I jest, but I am genuinely quite pleased with some of the topics I managed to cover this year, and some of the unusual and exotic bikes and pieces of kit I got to try out.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, some of you will have found reading my deep dives into these obscure topics as interesting as I did writing them, and thanks, as always, to my editors for indulging my strange obsessions.<\/p>\n
