Gamut Trail SXC chain guide

Gamut Trail SXC chain guide

NARROW/WIDE CHAINRINGS and clutch mechs are everywhere these days and they've left many single-ring riders scratching their heads and asking, "Do I really need a chain guide too?" For the racers out there and those wanting extra peace of mind, the answer is, "Yes, but probably just a top guide."

Gamut's svelte Trail SXC fits the bill nicely. With an aluminium backplate and polyurethane guide it weighs in at a mere 55g (ISCG-05 version) and is designed to keep your chain on track with minimal noise. It's available in a BB mount version too, and accommodates 30-40t rings. It doesn't look half bad either.

PRICE 60$

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'.

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.
