Want to save yourself money and time and support this site’s ability to get you more unbiased reviews?

Simply click on and buy your gear through the links you see in the posts or at Know’s Shop to stores I’ve found offer the best prices and highest customer satisfaction levels on road cycling gear.

My current top-ranked stores include Merlin, Competitive Cyclist, Chain Reaction Cycles, Tredz, and Power Meter City.

When you buy at many of these stores or anything through these links at eBay and Amazon, a small amount comes back to cover the review and site costs that go into creating the in-depth and independent, category-wide and ad-free, comparative and conflict-of-interest-free reviews you read here on In The Know Cycling.
