CyclistIn the Drops: Panaracers durable race tyres, Silcas drip wax update, Coospos rear radar, Icesupp performance lollies, and the Canadian RizzlerIts Friday, its In the Drops, the clocks go back (I think?) this weekend, were officially locked in for winter. But seriously can someone tell me if were gaining or losing sleep and can we stop this nonsense and just keep one time throughout the year? Were all adults here we can deal with that surely?The big story in the cycling world this week is the full routes for the 2027 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes have been unveiled, you can find our stage-by-stage breakdown of the mens route here and the womens route here.Thats far from the only thing weve had on the website, though. There was big computer news, with Coross very interesting super-thin Dura 2, which will practically never run out of battery unless you live in the far northern hemisphere in winter, as well as Garmins new 1060 plus Explore updates.Weve also published reviews of the also very interesting Eko PW8 pedals and tidy Asgard Access Plus shed, and there are more excellent articles coming today to spend your weekend reading.Right, enough of that, were freewheeling into the weekend its time to get In the Drops.Panaracer Agxero tyresRace-day speed with the puncture protection to keep you rolling is how Panaracer describes the Agxero tyres. Sold.More specifically, the Agxeros have been designed to combine the speed of very good Agilest tyres with added durability thanks to the use of a new ZSG Agile-X compound, which brings lower rolling resistance as well as improved grip and puncture resistance. They come in 28c and 30c, weighing a claimed 270g and 300g respectively, and there are options for black or tan sidewalls. This particular set are the 30mm tanwalls, which couldnt come at a better time for me as my bike currently has a 28mm tyre on the front and a 32mm on the back because the 28mm rear sidewall got slashed and 32mm is a bit tight of a squeeze for non-dry summer riding.Buy now from Panaracer (64.99)Silca Super Secret 2.0 chain lubeDrip wax changed my life in 2026, I had a tester bottle, tried it, and have ridden with a massive smile and a healthier drivetrain ever since.The second generation of Silcas Super Secret drip wax was made in collaboration with Visma-Lease a Bike and the brand says the new formula both lasts longer than the first and has vastly improved wet-weather performance. Silca claims that while hot wax is still cleaner and lasts longer, Super Secret 2.0 has near-identical efficiency and protection. Thats enough for a lazy so-and-so like me who tends to value ease of use very highly.Buy now from Silca (25)Coospo TR70 Smart Radar tail lightCoospos TR70 rear radar and light has a 220 light with seven modes for all conditions to be seen on the road whenever you ride.It can connect to both bike computers and phones to keep the rider aware of the traffic up to 140m away, even providing an alert when a vehicle comes around a blind bend, and it also has an emergency brake alert.The TR70 is IP67 dust and waterproof, weighs a claimed 64g, and the mount and adapter make it compatible with different seat post shapes. Coospo claims battery lasts for up to 50 hours.Buy now from Coospo (77.72)Icesupp lolliesIcesupp does what it says on the tin: its an ice lolly and a nutritional supplement in one package perfect for training in hot temperatures but also if youre having trouble getting food down. Theyre made with real fruit, include 5g protein and 2.5g fibre per 100g as well as key vitamins, and can be eaten either as a lolly or defrosted slightly to drink as a smoothie, with two potential ways to open the pouch for each use.Buy now from Icesupp (27.75, 12-pack)What were into this week: Quebecois cultureIf youve not seen this you are in for the treat of the century. In the last month, the internet has been swept by videos from French Canadian TV show Soire Canadienne, which ran from 1960 to 1983 in Quebec. In particular clips of call-and-response folk songs, with the two most popular, absolute earworms fronted by a pair of charismatic kids, Serge Veilleux and Jol Legendre.Veilleuxs is the most popular one online, partially because it looks as if the footage has been enhanced by AI to make it clearer, which adds a very weird visual aspect to the song about a dodgy doctor who keeps chopping off body parts. Veilleux, who has been dubbed the Canadian Rizzler, is a fantastic performer and demolishes this performance. I challenge you not to get stuck singing this all day.The other one, which is the French folk song Jai vu le loup (I saw the wolf), I actually prefer; its musically more interesting and gives me Les Choristes vibes. Consider this the perfect way to round out Quebecs big cycling year.Ad featureBOYD Cycling Expands Junior Wheel Trade-In Programme to UKBOYD Cycling is bringing its annual Trade-In for Juniors programme to the UK this October, partnering with Kent-based Cyclopark Charity to help more young riders access quality equipment.Throughout October, cyclists can trade in any wheelset, regardless of brand, model or condition, and receive 20% off a new BOYD wheelset.Traded-in wheels will be inspected, refurbished where possible, and donated to young cyclists facing barriers to participation.The initiative gives old wheels a second life while helping inspire the next generation of riders.Trade in online atboydcycling.comor through participating BOYD Cycling retailers.Find out moreAd feature endsThe post In the Drops: Panaracers durable race tyres, Silcas drip wax update, Coospos rear radar, Icesupp performance lollies, and the Canadian Rizzler appeared first on Cyclist.
