Fabric CO2 Lever Kit


THIS HANDY LITTLE emergency tyre fitting bundle from Fabric has a rubber strap to keep it all together, which can also be used to attach it to a (fixed) seatpost if you don’t want to stash it in a bag.

The tyre levers have quite a tight curve at the tip, so it can be tricky to get them under heavier tyres with tight beads. They’re solid though, have decent spoke hooks and still work fine for the most part.

The CO2 head screws on (two canisters are included) and offers effective tap-like control during tyre inflation. There’s also a neoprene sleeve to stop you freezing your hands on the canister.

Price 30$

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'.
