POC Flow jersey


THERE’S SOMETHING VERY appealing about the simplicity of the Flow, with its bold logos and distinctive fabric. Despite it having quite a coarse-feeling exterior, inside the finish is smooth and very wearable. The material seems durable too – running into a fence didn’t leave a mark on it.

It’s more of a spring/autumn jersey than a high-summer top but wicks well and comes with the benefit of an anti-bacterial treatment. The cut is close rather than slouchy though, and the sleeves are very slim with tight cuffs. If the material had more stretch the fit might be more forgiving, but all that ruggedness makes for a dense construction that could do with roomier sleeves. Or you could just go up a size.

PRICE 107$

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

Utah based company ENVE have been making drool-worthy carbon components for some years now. Despite the fact that carbon rims are becoming more and more common on mountain bikes these days, you can guarantee that ENVE wheels will be a talking point when someone is eyeing off a steed. Instantly, the big bold logos on each rim scream "fast", "light" and to some extent, "expensive" The kids call this 'bling'.
