Pedro's Chain Pig chain cleaner


The affectionately named Chain Pig makes cleaning your chain that bit easier thanks to a hook that slips over the lower jockey wheel on your bike's rear derailleur, removing the need to physically hold the cleaner while you cycle the cranks.

While the hook won't fit inside a short cage downhill mech, it can be slipped over the lower guide wheel of some chain guides (with the bike upside down). The Chain Pig is solidly constructed and its array of brushes means you only need to use a small amount of degreaser to deliver a shiny chain ready for some fresh lube.

PRICE 38$

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.

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.
