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$

The Polish brand are passionate about freeride and have gained a reputation for building heavy-hitting,wellspecced and reasonably-priced bikes. This latest incarnation of their Metropolis dirt jump rig follows in this vein, with a doublebutted 4130 chromoly frame and an array of reliable kit. The frame mixes MTB and BMXtechnology, using a threaded bottom bracket and Race Face AEfect two-piece crankset in combination with horizontal dropouts and an integrated headset and seat clamp. A Manitou Circus Elite fork gives 100mm of air-sprung travel, with a 20mm front axle to maintain stifness. The Metropolis rolls on 26in NS Fundamental rims, fitted with Kenda Small Block 8 tyres. We reckon the combo of chrome frame and tan-wall rubber looks pretty rad too! The full build weighs a fairly robust 12.13kg , but it should have no problem shrugging of s...
