Crank arm vs. Pedal. Shimano vs. Third-Party. Budget vs. Premium.

It’s time for the ultimate Power Meter Showdown! 🥊

If you are looking to take your training to the next level with structured power data, you need to know your options.

We’ve taken four heavy hitters—Shimano, 4iiii, Magene, and Assioma—and rated them on the metrics that matter most:

✅ Accuracy
✅ Price
✅ Ease of Installation

Get the full breakdown to find out which unit is the right upgrade for your bike.

Breathe new life into your daily driver. 🚲✨

While we love high-end road builds for alpine passes, there’s an unsung hero in every cyclist's stable: the trusty commuter. This clean BMC commuter has logged thousands of miles, but instead of retiring it, we decided to give it a major refresh.

Upgrading an older hybrid, city, or commuter bike doesn't require a total overhaul. Shifting to modern, durable components—like the heavy-duty reliability of Shimano CUES—transforms a tired daily rider into a buttery-smooth urban explorer. Paired with fresh rubber, clean lines, and dialed contact points, it's ready for years of fresh tarmac.

What’s your go-to commuter setup? Let us know in the comments! 👇

The maximum pressure on your tyre's sidewall is a ceiling, not a target. The right number for you is usually well below it.

Get the width right first, then set pressure for your weight, your roads and whether you run tubes or tubeless. Run the rear a few psi higher than the front.

Our new guide covers widths for road, gravel, commuting and MTB, what your rim allows, and a simple one-week method to find your pressure. Link in bio, or go to tunecycles.com.au/blog/bike-tyre-width-and-pressure-by-ride-style

New in the shop: Shimano road overhaul kits — every wear part in one box.

When the cassette, chain and chainrings have done their kilometres and the rotors and pads are due at the same time, one kit replaces the lot. Genuine Shimano, matched to your series, one price:
• 105 R7100 (50-34T) — $349
• Ultegra R8100 (52-36T) — $499, with fresh hoods
• Dura-Ace R9200 (52-36T) — $899, with fresh hoods

Each kit: 11-34T cassette, 12-speed chain, both chainrings, 160 mm and 140 mm Center Lock Ice Tech rotors and two pairs of pads. Fit it yourself, or we'll fit it with your next service. Launch pricing until 31 October.

Rim-brake bike? You're not stuck on 11-speed.

Shimano Ultegra R8150 Di2 — the rim-brake 12-speed groupset — is $1,959 (RRP $2,999). Di2 levers and derailleurs, a full 12-speed drivetrain, battery and wiring in the box, for the frame you already love. No disc conversion, no new wheels: your 11-speed freehub takes the 12-speed cassette.

We convert any 11-speed road bike to 12-speed at Marrickville. Compatibility check first, fitting quoted before anything is ordered, and pick-up and return across Sydney if you'd rather not make the trip.

Is there a 12-speed Shimano CUES? No, and there isn't meant to be.

CUES comes in 9, 10 and 11-speed only. It runs LINKGLIDE, which uses thicker cassette teeth built for durability. Fitting a twelfth cog would mean thinner teeth and a thinner chain, which undoes the point of the system.

What to know before you spend money:

LINKGLIDE and Shimano's 12-speed HYPERGLIDE+ don't mix. Cassettes, chains and derailleurs aren't interchangeable.

CUES fits the HG freehub already on your wheel. Shimano 12-speed MTB needs MICRO SPLINE, which often means a new freehub body or rear wheel.

If you're after an easier climbing gear rather than a twelfth cog, 11-speed CUES goes to 11-50T without touching the wheel.

Still on 11-speed? This is the spring to move up.

Shimano's 12-speed road groupsets are in stock at Marrickville — mechanical or Di2, disc or rim brake — and we convert any 11-speed road bike to 12-speed. Your current wheels stay: the 12-speed road cassette fits the 11-speed freehub you already have.

Four ways in:
• 105 R7100 mechanical (disc) — $699.99, the cheapest we've ever sold it
• 105 R7170 Di2 (disc) — $1,654.92
• Ultegra R8150 Di2 (rim brake) — $1,959
• Ultegra R8170 Di2 (disc) — $2,299

Fitted at the workshop by Australia's only Authorised Mobile Shimano Service Centre, with a 30-day workmanship guarantee. Fitting is quoted at booking — or message us with your bike and current groupset and we'll quote it.

Wheels and tyres aren't two separate purchases. Internal rim width sets the shape of the tyre, and the front and rear are doing different jobs, so matching tyres front and rear is often the wrong call.

On the stand, the most common issue we see isn't a bad wheel or a bad tyre. It's a good wheel carrying the wrong tyre.

In the new blog post we break down:
- how rim width changes tyre profile
- why front and rear take different treads
- the casing choice most riders under-spec
- the three pairings we build most for Sydney trail and enduro riders

🚲 Choosing your next road wheelset: Rim vs. Disc, Alloy vs. Carbon?

Upgrading your wheels is one of the biggest transformations you can make to your road bike, but with so many options out there, where do you start?

We’ve broken down everything you need to know in our latest guide:
🛑 Rim vs. Disc: Your frame already makes this choice for you—don't try to force an adapter! Disc is where modern R&D lives (wider rims, tubeless setups, deep profiles), while rim-brake options are slowly narrowing.
🪶 Alloy vs. Carbon: It’s not just about weight—carbon lets rims go deep and aerodynamic without feeling like a brick. But alloy still wins big on durability, everyday budget, and easy repairs for commuters or winter trainers.

Are you chasing flat-out speed on deep carbon profiles, or keeping it bulletproof with a reliable alloy setup?

Whether you're building up a rugged commuter, refreshing a hardtail, or servicing an e-bike, figuring out the differences between the U4000, U6000, and U8000 tiers can feel like cracking a secret code.

We break down what you actually get as you move up the ladder—from square-taper cranks and entry-level durability to Hollowtech II setups, clutch derailleurs, and premium finishes. Stop guessing and pick the exact drivetrain tier your bike needs! ⚙️👇
