Uberbike Components Performance Series gear cable kit


AVAILABLE IN 12 colours, Uberbike's gear cables offer an alternative to good old black outer cables, and at a good price.

The kit includes two sections of non-compressing, Kevlar reinforced outer plus two PTFE coated, pre-stretched stainless steel inner cables, all finished off with some neat anodised end caps. The basic package contains 2,200mm of outer, which is easily enough for a 2x or 3x set-up, but not enough to set up rear derailleurs on two bikes - you'll need the XL kit for that, which costs 4$ more and comes with 3,000mm sections of outer - and is easy to install with the right tools. After a few months of use, our gear shifts haven't skipped a beat, even in grotty winter weather.

PRICE 29$

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'.

DRC X-Monitor SP1 lap timer

While smartphone apps such as Strava can be a useful way to keep tabs on your mountain bike rides, sometimes you just can’t beat the simplicity and instant feedback that a good old-fashioned stopwatch style lap timer provides.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

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.

Formula CR3 brakes

The CR3 features a cartridge-type master, which improves power and modulation, plus it is super simple to service: The self-enclosed unit threads directly into the lever body. I took apart our test set and had it back together and bled in 10 minutes with no special tools. Like Formula’s RO brakes, the caliper pistons are actually oval, making more surface area–and thus, more power–than round pistons, but simpler than a four-piston system. The CR3 is best suited for aggressive trail riding.
