BBB AquaShield winter gloves

BBB AquaShield winter gloves

SO GOOD
The theme here is definitely warmth and the BBBs are oven-like in that department. They're extremely waterproof too and the elasticated cuffs further seal in the heat. The AquaShields also walk away with the coveted award for softest snot wipe on test. At this price, they represent great value too.

NO GOOD
As with the Enduras there's an unwelcome gel pad across the top of the palm, but here it's much thinner, so it's easier to grip the bar. The elasticated cuffs are a big chink in the AquaShields' waterproof armour, and the lining is easy to pull out of place when removing the gloves.

PRICE 55$

Gusset Magnum stem

SO GOOD Gusset’s 50mm stem is nicely CNC machined from 7075 alloy and the faceplate and internal steerer clamp are available in a range of five anodised colours to complement the black body. The hidden steerer clamp keeps sharp edges to a minimum and removes stress from the body of the stem. Out on the bike, the stem proved flex free and bombproof.

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'.

CANYON NERVE AL 8.0

  S ince their entry into the UK market a few years ago, Canyon have made a name for themselves as purveyors of well-made bikes that exhibit often extraordinary value. The secret (or catch, depending on your point of view) is that the brand don’t have dealers – they ship bikes directly to your door.
