I’m Chaney, a Colorado cyclist. I built The Gear Stash to make gear decisions easier: useful information, practical tradeoffs and plain language.

Gear for the rides you actually do

The focus is cycling: gravel, mountain biking, cycling tech, protection, hydration and setup. Trails, ride reports and focused news belong here when they help riders make a better decision.

Experience and research, clearly separated

When I have used a product, I identify that experience. Otherwise, a guide is based on research and comparison—not an invented test. Manufacturer specifications, compatibility, fit and availability matter, and their limits belong in the article.

Read our research and review methodology and editorial policy for the standards behind the work.

Independent guidance

The Gear Stash is reader-supported. Some links are affiliate links, so the site may earn a commission when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. That never decides what gets recommended. Read how The Gear Stash makes money.
