Cyclegrades - About

About

I love to ride.

Cycling has been a way for me to meet new friends, stay in shape, disconnect from work, and explore my surroundings.
‍
I hope cycling resonates with you on a similar level. I created this site as I could not find a fun way to simply shop for bike components online that allowed me to quickly see what weight saving benefits I would get between two components I was looking at.
‍
By using this site I hope you'll find similar value through the comparison tool and that you'll make some fun discoveries along the way.
‍
There are many different ways to make your bike your own and this is only the very start of the experience I'd like to eventually create.
‍
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!

There's a bike for everyone.

No matter what you ride I hope we have something for you.

Our catalogue is currently tailored to the road and gravel riders but as the site grows this definitely leaves room to feature a broader range of products.

Have fun!

I'd like this site to be a fun shopping experience.

Hopefully you've found a new brand you've never heard of or different way to make your bike faster.

A roadmap for the future.

The compare tool is only at it's first phase and I have ideas of where I'd like to take it to make product comparison and discovery even better. This is only the start!

How To

Compare

Select Compare

Click on Compare from the main navigation menu to bring up the comparison page.

Select Your Component Type

Check off the types of components you would like to compare against using the filters on the left hand side of the page.

The selected filters will apply to both product windows.

Start Comparing

Use the orange arrow buttons in the first box to browse through products until you've located the first component you want to use in the comparison.

Now use the arrows in the second box to browse and start comparing products.

View the Weight and Price Difference

As you go through each component we'll display the difference in weight and price between the two.
‍
The difference in price and weight will be highlighted by color. Green will indicate a savings or drop in weight while red will indicate an increase of weight or price.

Have Fun!
