Cervelo Aspero-5 Modified

A 2026 Cervélo Áspero-5 Force build with two key changes from stock — drivetrain swapped from XO Transmission mullet to Force XPLR 1×13, and wheels swapped from Reserve to Zipp 303 Explorers. Steve’s take on why, and what kind of bike this really is.

Jamis Ventura All Road — Shimano CUES | Bike Review

June 6, 2026June 4, 2026 by maklinbikes
Jamis Ventura Allroad

A first look at the Jamis Ventura All Road — a sub-$1,600 aluminum all-road bike with Shimano CUES 2×10, a Ritchey cockpit, and more tire clearance than the spec sheet suggests. We mounted labeled-40 Challenge Getaways and they fit with room to spare.
