Prescription Lenses in the Oakley Meta Vanguard: The Insert Oakley Didn't Make

Rocker-Plate Feel for Tennis-Ball Money: Why Your Smart Trainer Should Sway

Your Radar Is Watching the Trees: Why Aero Seatposts Need a Purpose-Built Mount
Aero seatposts rake backwards, so a stock Varia mount aims your radar at the sky. A mount shaped for your exact seatpost puts the beam back on the road. Read more...
Filming Your First Cycling Vlog: A Practical Setup Guide
You don't need a film crew to make a cycling video worth watching. You need one small camera, a mount that puts it in the right place, and a little intention. Here's the setup we use and recommend. 1. Put the camera on your helmet, not your bars Bar-mounted footage is stable but dead: it never looks around, never checks over a shoulder, never glances at a riding partner. Helmet POV captures attention the way your eyes do — and with today's pocket cameras (DJI Osmo Nano, Insta360 GO 3S... Read more...
Helmet Fit Guide: Which XEcycle Camera Mount Fits Your Lid?
A camera mount that "fits most helmets" fits none of them well. Aero road helmets are all compound curves, and every brand sculpts them differently — so we model each mount around one specific shell. Here's the current fit list, with the details that matter. Specialized S-Works Evade 3 and S-Works Evade 4 are both supported — but pay attention: the two shells are different and the mounts do not interchange. If you upgraded from Evade 3 to Evade 4, you need the matching mount. When ordering, double-check which generation... Read more...
GO 3S, Osmo Nano or GO Ultra: Which Camera Clip Do You Need for Your Helmet Mount?
The single most common question we get: "Does the mount come with the clip?" Short answer: no — and that's deliberate. Your camera already shipped with a perfectly engineered magnetic clip. Our helmet mount is a shaped TPU cradle that holds that clip securely on the front of your aero helmet. You keep using the magnetic attach/detach you already know, and you're not paying twice for a part you own. The catch: clips differ between cameras, so the cradle must match. Here's how to pick. The three clip types we... Read more...
Why Your Cycling POV Footage Looks Wrong — and the One Adjustment That Fixes It
Watch any beginner's helmet-cam cycling video and you'll see the same two failures: half the frame is sky, or half the frame is stem and front tyre. The camera was fine. The mount was the problem. Your head angle isn't constant On a road bike, your head pitch changes dramatically with position: On the hoods, your face points mostly forward. In the drops, your head tilts down and your eyes rotate up to compensate. In an aero tuck, your helmet can be pitched 20–30° below horizontal. Climbing out of the... Read more...
How to Mount a DJI Osmo Nano or Insta360 GO 3S on an Aero Road Helmet (Without Ruining It)
Pocket-sized action cameras changed cycling video. The DJI Osmo Nano and Insta360 GO 3S / GO Ultra are light enough to forget you're wearing them and good enough to publish from. There's just one problem: aero road helmets were never designed to carry a camera. Adhesive GoPro pads don't stick to compound-curved, vented shells. Strap systems sit crooked and flap in the wind. And nobody wants to drill into a $300 helmet. The vent-mount approach Our helmet camera mount takes a different route: it's a flexible TPU cradle shaped for... Read more...
