Buying cycling gear online means guessing. Which frame size. Whether that cassette fits. Whether a jersey rated for European summer will work in July in Hyderabad.
TBA Guide answers those questions. It's free, it's on every page of the site, and it knows both our catalogue and the guides we've written about using it.
What it's good at
Sizing across brands
Frame sizing from your height and inseam, referenced against the actual size guides for each brand we stock — Felt, Colnago, Kona and the rest. Helmet sizing from head circumference. Shoe sizing from foot length in centimetres, not just your usual EU number.
Ask: “What size Giro helmet should I get if my head is 57cm?”
Component compatibility
Cassettes and freehubs, thru-axle standards, tyre clearance. It gives you the specifics and flags where the answer genuinely depends on your frame rather than pretending there's one number.
Ask: “What thru-axle length do I need for a 12x142 rear hub?”
Recommendations with real constraints
Give it a budget, a city and a use case and it shortlists from what we actually have in stock, with reasoning for each.
Ask: “Which indoor trainer should I get for a small apartment, budget ₹40,000?”
Riding in Indian conditions
Monsoon drivetrain care, hydration and fuelling for heat, what to run and when.
Ask: “Which nutrition works for a 100km ride in Indian heat?”
What makes it different
Most shopping assistants read a product feed. TBA Guide reads our guides too — written by people who ride here, including ABCC-certified coach Gokul Krishna. So when it recommends a gel every 35 to 40 minutes, or a wet lube instead of a dry one through monsoon, that's coming from our own riding, not a spec sheet.
It also tells you when it doesn't know, and when we don't stock something. If you ask for a brand we don't carry, it'll say so and suggest what we'd ride instead.
