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$

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS

The fat aluminium tubes are a constrast to the skinny items seen elsewhere in the test, but this rigid Cannondale uses them to create one of the most old-school - and lightest - rides here.

KONA SHRED

With a reputation for no-nonsense ruggedness and a background in the always progressive and punishing riding of Canada, Kona have been building hardcore hardtails for longer than almost anyone else. The Shred is the most expensive bike on test but it’s a proper trail tank.

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.

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.
