Terms of service

You may read, quote and cite this site with attribution. Automated retrieval is welcome under the rules published in /robots.txt. Wholesale copying of the catalogue or the reports, republication as your own, and resale of the text are not permitted.

Prices describe a reference build: the specification listed on the page, in US dollars and euros, taken from the authorised retailer at the time of writing. They are indicative. The price you pay is the one the retailer shows at checkout, including tax, shipping and any duty, and availability changes without notice.

Measurements and specifications are published in good faith from the sources named in each report. Where a manufacturer revises a figure, the report is corrected rather than defended.

Pressing Acquire takes you to an authorised retailer. No contract of sale is formed with TheAeroDrop: the house holds no stock, takes no payment, arranges no shipment and handles no return. The sale, the warranty and the after-sales service are between you and the retailer, under that retailer’s terms.

Where a piece cannot be sourced, the Concierge says so plainly rather than offering a substitute that was not asked for.

The reports are technical information written for a literate reader. They are not medical, biomechanical or financial advice. Fit decisions belong to a qualified fitter who has seen you on the bicycle; safety decisions belong to the manufacturer’s manual and to the torque values printed on the components.

Reserve is an annual membership at €190, billed once a year in advance and renewed automatically until cancelled. One membership covers one person and is not transferable.

The benefits listed in the lounge may change over time; a change never applies retroactively to a year already paid. The Strava Premium gift is delivered once per paid membership year, to the member’s own account, and cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred. Concierge sourcing is a reasonable-effort service, subject to fair use — currently a maximum of five open requests at a time — and it does not guarantee that a size, a colourway or a price can be found.

You may cancel at any time; the cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid, and access continues until then. Partial refunds are not given except where the law requires them. A failed payment suspends access until it is resolved, without deleting the account. Reselling a benefit code, automating the concierge, or sharing an account ends the membership without refund.

The text, the photography and the design of this site belong to TheAeroDrop. Manufacturer images, names and marks belong to their owners and are used to identify the product being discussed.

The site is published as it is. Third-party figures are reported as found and are not warranted as accurate by the house. To the extent the law allows, liability is limited to the amount you paid to TheAeroDrop in the twelve months before the claim — which, for a reader who is not a member, is nothing.

These terms are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which TheAeroDrop is established, and disputes fall to its courts. When the terms change, the date at the head of the page moves; a change to the Reserve terms applies from your next renewal, never inside a year already paid.
