How we test

At road.cc every product is thoroughly tested for as long as it takes to get a proper insight into how well it works. Our reviewers are experienced cyclists that we trust to be objective. While we strive to ensure that opinions expressed are backed up by facts, reviews are by their nature an informed opinion, not a definitive verdict. We don’t intentionally try to break anything (except locks) but we do try to look for weak points in any design. The overall score is not just an average of the other scores: it reflects both a product’s function and value – with value determined by how a product compares with items of similar spec, quality, and price.

What the road.cc scores mean

Good scores are more common than bad, because fortunately good products are more common than bad.

The Slicy Custom Top Cap can be adorned with any visual you’d like – logos, text or even a photo – and is UV printed on black aluminium. You even get a decent black steel bolt for attaching it. Get one to finish off your dream build, or simply if you’ve run out of other things to spend money on…

To customise your cap, you upload your graphics, text or imagery via the Slicy site. Then you pay, and go sit by the letterbox until it falls into your welcoming arms.

The result is nicely finished, and the print seems solid enough. Beyond the look, this is obviously a regular alloy cap that fits the usual (1 1/8″) steerers. It works perfectly well.

The current offer of €14 instead of €20 may just persuade you to get one, and they’re ideal for club members or riding friends, or just as a present for the mate who has everything. Everything except a top cap with a picture of your own, far superior bike on it, that is…

Ahh yes, the old "I was pulled off my bike by someone going too fast and too close". Thats the least of my concerns. I'm far more concerned about hitting a pothole and needing more than 20cm to wobble before I hit the passing car. Its got very little to do with wind/sucking effect of close overtakes and everything to do with giving space for cyclists needing to move laterally to avoid things. We all know that drivers are fucking awful at judging....anything, especially speed limits so saying 1m just means that they will do 50cm. At least 1.5m means that unless they are doing it intentionally, most give around 1m.

Regarding the photo from Police Scotland. Shouldn’t that be measured from the widest point of the cyclist? Handlebar or elbow? It hardly matters, because they have no intention of ever enforcing any minimum distance. We've had 1000 NMoTD, yet there still no acceptance from the police that there is any such thing as a close passing offence. The only evidence of 'passing a little closer than preferable' they're willing to consider is a KSI'd cyclist. For some inexplicable reason, there seems to be a great reluctance among cyclists that their greatest corporate enemy is the police.

dangerously close to hate speech there, talking about wide cyclists. and they actually arrest people for that sort of thing. 🙄

How about overhead platforms above the pavement with suitable on and off ramps for cycle access and stairs for pedestrian access - making space out of nothing and providing shelter from the rain for pedestrians?

Because its much cheaper to buy a second adjustable spanner for non cycle related bolts?

Re: Gt.Yarmouth cycle lane. What's with the give way markings at the edge of the road? It looks like another cycle path joining the cycle lane with stop lines for the cycle lane adjacent to the road. Does anyone have a bigger picture?
