Giant tubeless sealant refill & check syringe kit


Getting the right amount of sealant into your tubeless tyres to start with is easy. The problem is knowing how much it has dried up or leaked out after a few months, without stripping the tyre off.

This simple but effective syringe kit lets you ‘dipstick’ the sealant level in your tyre by unscrewing the valve core, slipping the pipe into the valve and sucking out the juice. If you need to add more, then simply suck extra out of your sealant bottle, lock the flow off with the mid-pipe valve, and inject it into the tyre.

The press-fit connections are less secure than screw-in fixtures, and you don’t get valves with a sealing ‘mouth’ like you do with MilKit’s similar-looking (but considerably more expensive) kit, so there’s a risk the tyre will unseat when you deflate it. That means there’s no danger of blowback, though, and we like the fact you get a spare pipe to use if/when the first one gums up.

Price $15

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'.

Merida Big Seven 100

We've rolled up to our local woods, with a meandering blue trail, some natural wooded tracks and a bit of fire road chucked into the mix to see how the Big Seven 100 tackles trails that entry-level riders are likely to cut their teeth on.

Scott Scale 950

The Scale 950 uses the now traditional-for-cross-country 29er wheels to excellent effect, with a fast but fun character that's happy racing or railing.

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.

CUBE REACTION GTC PRO 27.5

Cube have kept their strong 29er race hardtail range for 2014 but added four new bikes with 650b wheels. The Reaction GTC Pro 27.5 is the second-tier carbon model.
