Nox Sox pedal covers


If there are two things flat pedals love destroying even more than your shins, it’s the inside of your car and the paintwork of other bikes. Clipless pedals aren’t too shabby at trashing paint or plastic trim either, and they’re an awkward shape to try to pad or cover.

These neoprene ‘Sox’ slip over your pedals and can be secured in place with poppers to keep the sharp and shitty bits from damaging delicate surroundings. Being made in Cornwall, they’re pricey, but they come in two sizes for flats or smaller clipless pedals and could stop some really expensive accidental damage.

Price from $27

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.

DMR Defy stem

SO GOOD Lots of thought has gone into the design of the Defy, which has an internal steerer clamp and tilted bar clamp to reduce the stresses going through the 5mm bolts. It has a really low stack height (31mm) and the widest bar clamp on test, which helps to reduce handlebar flex. Aimed at more aggressive riders, the Defy gives a solid feel to the cockpit that definitely gave us confidence when pointing at bigger drops and jumps. It comes with a natty matching top cap too.
