Weekly Cycling Newsletter – Win Signed Jackson Goldstone Grips
Sign-up to our wonderful weekly newsletter and win signed Jackson Goldstone OneUp grips
There are two kinds of cycling weeks: the ones where you’re chasing time—between work, family, weather windows, and a drivetrain that’s suddenly louder than your neighbor’s leaf blower—and the ones where you feel like you’re ahead of the sport. Ahead of the product launches, the must-ride routes, the small technique tweaks that add up to big confidence, and the gear bargains that actually make sense.
Our weekly newsletter exists for that second kind of week.
And because we like to make good habits easy to start, we’re sweetening the deal: sign up for our wonderful weekly inbox brightener and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a set of signed Jackson Goldstone OneUp grips. Yes—those grips. The ones you’d happily run even without the autograph, because good touchpoints are not “nice to have”; they’re your direct connection to control.
If you needed yet another reason to join, here it is: the newsletter is designed to be the thing you can read in five minutes, then ride better for the rest of the week.
What you’ll actually get (and what you won’t)
Let’s be blunt: most cycling email is either a sales blast wearing a fake mustache, or a content dump that feels like a scroll trap. Our approach is editorial-first, rider-focused, and refreshingly curated.
- One tight roundup of the most useful stories from CyclingTrend.com—no filler, no algorithm-chasing.
- Gear picks that earn their place, whether that’s a trainer accessory that saves your knees or a $15 tool that prevents a $150 mistake.
- Technique and maintenance notes you can apply immediately—think braking feel, cornering posture, tire pressure sanity checks, and quieter drivetrains.
- Real-world value: deals and availability, especially when the good stuff is actually in stock.
- No spam, no daily barrage, no “we missed you” guilt-tripping if you skip a week.
In other words, it’s the newsletter I wish existed back when I was duct-taping mini-pumps to frames and thinking “27.5 vs 29” was the hardest decision I’d ever make.

Why signed grips? Because the details matter
A signed set of OneUp grips isn’t just a trophy—it’s a reminder that the sport is shaped by people who ride with serious intent, and by the rest of us who want to borrow a little of that intent for our local loops. Jackson Goldstone represents a new generation of speed, precision, and confidence. And grips—more than you’d expect—are where that confidence can begin.
Touchpoints are the quiet heroes: grips, saddle, pedals, shoes. Upgrade them, dial them, and suddenly your “good day” becomes your baseline. If you’ve been meaning to refresh the cockpit, consider this your nudge.

What makes our newsletter different
My job as an editor is to separate what’s loud from what’s useful. The cycling world moves fast—new suspension platforms, drivetrain standards, tire carcasses, “must-have” accessories, and a constant churn of advice that can contradict itself depending on who’s talking. The newsletter is where we slow that down and make it actionable.
Expect a perspective that respects your time and your budget. We’ll still geek out on the details (because that’s half the fun), but we’ll always circle back to the rider question: Will this make your next ride better?

One more thing: if you already subscribe, you’re still welcome here. You’re the reason we keep this whole operation sharp, honest, and rider-first.
