Lezyne Allen Block multi-tool


Gripping the Lezyne Allen Block, the first thing you notice is its high quality, reassuringly solid feel.As the name suggests, the focus here is on Allen keys. Ten are included, all of a decent enough length to let you tackle the fiddlier jobs many multi-tools just won’t reach.

Sizes range from 1.5 to 6mm but there’s no 8mm, which is needed to remove certain pedals, pivot bolts and rear axles. The 1.5, 2 and 2.5mm bits are L-shaped, which comes in handy for some awkward to reach bolts.After months in a non-waterproof hydration pack pocket, none of the steel bits are showing any signs of wear and the anti-corrosion treatment has kept rust at bay too.We’re big fans of the unfussy design, and at a reasonable 130g and 96mm in length, it’s easy to find somewhere to stash it in your pack. It’s a touch bulky to just throw in a shorts pocket though.

COMMENCAL EL CAMINO 3

Commencal are going from strength to strength at the moment and they’ve taken their tough trail hardtail bang up to date with 650b wheels. With its skinny rims, crankset and fork, the El Camino certainly isn’t perfect and it’s the least hardcore bike here. The handling, smoothness, speed and all-round agility of the basic bike still make it a real blast for technical trail riding though, and it’s a great base for upgrading over time.
