E Thirteen EX cog sprocket


E*13's EX cog addsa40 or 42T crawler gear to the top end of your ratios if you remove the 17 or 15T sprocket from your existing 10-speed cassette.

Different 'timed' versions are available for SRAM or Shimano blocks and an extra long rear derailleur set screw is included with the ring, which is a nice touch. The lurch up onto the 42T cog still needs a bit of care so select it early if you can and be prepared to be patient for it to drop back down compared to a conventional cassette. It's worn fine through winter though, is comparably priced and there are blue, red and black options.

PRICE 82$

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.

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.
