Fox Transfer Factory dropper post


If you can afford it, Fox’s Transfer is a totally bombproof, sweet-performing post that can be switched between internal and external routing. It uses a typical hook-ended actuator lever design, but cable clamping and cutting is done at the lever end, making it a much easier process. The light-action remote lever is available in under-bar shifter style or vertical ‘universal’ format, too.You do have to buy that separately, for $105, on top of the $554 post cost, though, which seems steep given its average, wobbly-from-new design. Function is silk smooth though, with excellent speed and position control. Every Transfer we’ve used has stayed that way indefinitely, no matter how bad the conditions or minimal the maintenance. That makes the high price a reasonable investment, and the Performance version skips the gold Kashima coating of the Factory post to save $75.You can even switch to external operation using an actuator at the collar.

The Stratus gloves from Alpinestars offer a decent amount of protection from the cold and wet without compromising control at the bars.

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.
