Meet the Rider Behind The Gear Stash
Hi, I’m Chaney. I’ve been riding since I could walk — BMX as a kid, mountain bikes through my 20s, and now gravel across Colorado. I built The Gear Stash to make cycling gear decisions easier with plainspoken guides, practical tradeoffs, and a Colorado rider’s perspective. No fake lab claims. No pretending every product has been personally ridden or used. Just clear buyer guidance and direct experience called out only when it actually applies.
