Hiplok Z LOK locks


The Z LOK is a reusable ziptie with a reinforced steel core that can be used to bolster security on your bike rack or be carried as a ‘just in case’ security measure. It’s not meant to be a replacement for a proper D-lock or chain (always be sure to buy the best security you can afford), but it adds a bit of peace of mind if you need to leave your bike on the back of the car for a few minutes or pop into the bar to grab a post-ride pint. Using it is a doddle, though the prongs on the tiny ‘key’ can get bent and need realigning for it to work. Thanks to its miniscule 21g weight, it won’t weigh your pack down.

Price $22 (pair)

ENVE M50 29" Wheels

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'.
