By running Discerning Cyclist, I regularly get offered the chance to review cycling gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first it was a real novelty to get \u201cfree stuff\u201d in exchange for an honest written review about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after nearly nine (!) years of running this site, these review requests now come thick and fast. Indeed, it\u2019s more than I can handle, hence why Rohan<\/a> now often helps me out with these reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I actually turn down most review requests these days as otherwise that\u2019s all I\u2019d have time to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I\u2019m still happy to test out gear that really intrigues me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other challenge with running a website for nearly a decade is the huge number of emails you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of this is outright spam, while others are requests to be featured on the site and others are message from members of the Discerning Cyclist community (the latter of which I love to get).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with vast swathes of emails landing in the old inbox, I need to be quick to sort and categorise these messages. So, when it comes to things like review requests, it\u2019s very much a quick skim of the message to see if it\u2019s something I want to pursue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, this comes back to bite me in the backside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if I skim read a message and see something along the lines of \u201c\u2026 Quad Lock Phone Mount available for review\u201d, I jump at the chance (as it\u2019s a brand and product I\u2019ve long been fascinated by).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But sometimes the devil is in the detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something like: \u201cBrompton<\/u><\/strong> Quad Lock Phone Mount\u201d, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, Brompton?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I received a Quad Lock Phone Mount to review, that has been specifically been made to for a Brompton Folding Bike<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t have a Brompton Folding Bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here we go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
