Spank Oozy pedals


SO GOOD
At just 364g and 12mm deep, the Oozys aren’t just some of the lightest pedals on test, they’re also some of the thinnest. Even if you take into account the bulge to accommodate the axle’s sealed bearing, there’s still 97mm of platform for support. The tall, narrow pins are extremely grippy, screw in from the rear and even after a couple of scrapes, haven’t bent yet.

NO GOOD
It takes some time to get used to putting your foot back on after a dab because you have to avoid the bulge in the platform. It’s also worth noting that we had to use two pedal washers to ensure the pedal span clear of the crank arm.

PRICE 170$

Dave Hemming’s Fat Chance Yo Eddys

WHO IS DAVE HEMMING Dave first appeared in the mag in 1989 and, after becoming the first Brit to win a World Championships medal, was picked to ride for Team MBUK in 1991. He went on to race DH for several years, in-between numerous hare-brained feature missions. These days, he dabbles in everything from enduros to Ironmans, while working for Swiss/Italian brand X-Bionic. WHY THIS IS A SUPERBIKE? -A ’90s classic has been reborn -The original Yo Eddy is pure anodised retro radness -Its new counterpart is the perfect blend of old and new school, combining classic styling with an up-to-date ride It’s crazy to see how far things have come since the early ’90s. At that time, racing downhill on a hardtail with a 90mm stem and the seat up your arse was just what people did. While the technology seems primitive now, bike companies more than made up for it when it came to anodising! With its ‘aquafade’ paintjob, metallic blue parts and punk graphics, old-school UK racer Dave Hem...

Cannondale Jekyll 3 bike

Cannondale’s Jekyll debuted in 2011. It was a gutsy bike, or really, two bikes. Click the handlebar-mounted travel adjuster and the Jekyll morphed from downhill slayer to climbing stud. The stout frame was uniquely tied together with 15-millimeter thru axles, and at the heart of it, the Fox-built DYAD pull shock. Until then, pull shocks weren’t famous for their reliability, but the Jekyll’s fancy dualchamber shock worked surprisingly and consistently well.
