Gamut TTr direct-mount chainring


GAMUT’S DIRECT-MOUNT TTr ring is available in 28 to 34t sizes and fits SRAM GXP cranks with a removable spider. It’s also available in bolted versions for other cranks, including Shimano XT and XTR.

Fitted sans chain guide and used with a clutch rear mech, ours has survived its fair share of rough-and-ready riding without shedding its chain once (a problem we’ve occasionally suffered with other aftermarket rings). It’s holding up nicely after a few months of harsh weather and slop, and the 71g weight is competitive.

The price is level with Race Face’s GXP-compatible rings, but there are cheaper options available from other brands.

Price 82$

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.
