The Leadout is reader-supported. Some of the outbound links on our rider profile pages — the “Buy” and gear links — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we (and in some cases the rider) may earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. It never changes the price you pay.
What that means
- We may participate in affiliate programs run by retailers, brands, and affiliate networks.
- We link to gear because our research indicates a rider actually uses it — not because a link pays. Sponsorships and equipment change mid-season, so treat gear as our best current understanding, not gospel.
- Clicks on gear links are logged anonymously (which product, when) so we can see what's useful and keep profiles current. We don't tie that to your identity — see our Privacy Policy.
Our promise
Commissions never influence a rider's stats, standings, or fantasy cost — those come straight from race results. Our goal is to make the gear the pros ride easy to find and buy. If something looks wrong, tell us at support@theleadout.club.
