Bottlemakers Hall

3 weeks ago | newsfour.ie | Liam Kyle Cahill

By Liam CahillThe Bottle Makers Hall in Ringsend has come under some scrutiny for its current state. The building, located at 1A Irishtown Road has been left vacant for a number of years and has been the focus of dispute by local resident George Kearns. “The outside appearance of the Bottle Hands Hall is in a sorry looking state,” he said. “I can only wonder at what the inside of this quite serious piece of heritage looks like,” he said.
The best bike I saw at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was this wild gravel-inspired Trek Madone

While an unreleased Zipp wheel with an integrated TyreWiz pressure sensor on Tom Pidcock’s Scott Foil was one of the coolest developments from Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2025, I loved Emma Norsgaard’s Trek Madone even more. This aero road bike was set up with a mullet-gearing ensemble of SRAM’s Red XPLR AXS rear derailleur, a super-wide 10-46T cassette and a huge 52T aero 1x chainring. We have seen a number of riders in recent years opt for a 1x setup at Paris-Roubaix.
Tom Pidcock debuts new Zipp wheelset with integrated tyre pressure sensor

A new Zipp road wheelset with what appears to be an integrated tyre pressure sensor has been spotted at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Tom Pidcock's bike. Pidcock's Scott Foil initially looked to have a relatively standard build, ready to take on the cobbled climbs of the Spring Classics opener. On closer inspection, though, the wheels apparently feature a Quarq Tyrewiz tyre pressure sensor built into the rim at the valve. The current version of the Tyrewiz sits on a special valve, external from the rim.

1 month ago | bikeradar.com | Liam Kyle Cahill

Elves has teased images of a new Falath EXP aero road frameset, suggesting a radical-looking frame that appears to borrow a key feature from the Trek Madone. A prominent hole sits in the seat tube above the rear wheel on Elves' new bike. Trek coined its design IsoFlow when the latest Madone was launched in 2022, saying the kite-shaped hole saved 300g in weight versus Trek's old IsoSpeed decoupler system.

Could bigger wheels improve your gravel riding? I tested 750d rims to find out

Jan 21, 2025 | bikeradar.com | Liam Kyle Cahill

The world of gravel cycling has recently seen the introduction of a bigger wheel standard, called 750d. Having thought road and gravel bikes had largely settled on 700c wheels, I wondered what all the fuss was about. With that in mind, I set out to analyse the theory behind the new standard and find out how these wheels ride. First though, let’s get up to speed on what 750d wheels are, their positives and negatives and what you’ll need if you want to try them yourself.

The 20-year-old media and film student studying at DBS, felt it was almost compulsory for a young adult to be engrossed in all aspects of social media. Although the medium has its advantages, it may also be blurring or totally destroying personal communication. “My personal use of Twitter was intentionally for my opinions on issues or controversial topics on television,” he says.
