When a tool comes along that helps both the race and the shop mechanic,
you know that its manufacturer is onto something. This is the case with
Abbey Bike Works’ Crombie Tool. It’s a cassette lockring tool. What
makes the Crombie a bit special is that it fits over quick-release
nuts. This speeds up the process of changing cassettes significantly.

this to Shimano Dura Ace 9000 mechanical shifting. Shimano has made its
cable-actuated shifting so crisp and friction-free that it begs the
question, "Why go electronic?" Both the front and rear shifting
operated with near-effortless purity. It shifts faster than Di2 and
offers superior tactile feedback while costing and weighing well less.
