FOUR ESSENTIALS
01 GALIBIER CAMPIONISSIMO II LUXURY MIT T £25
These classic-looking mitts are made using finely perforated real leather (goatskin, in fact) with ribbing details and a press stud cuff. The palm is lightly padded but the idea is that they will mould and conform to your hand shape naturally. At £25 these mitts are very well priced for the quality.
02 VELOSKIN CHAMOIS CREAM £14
‘Learn to love the saddle, not resent it’ is one of the slogans of VeloSkin, the Halifax-based company that creates a range of skincare products to help cyclists minimise the impact of the unpredictable British weather. VeloSkin describes this chamois cream as its ‘hero- product’. Active ingredients include shea butter, cocoa butter and soy wax, as well as the oils from coconut, jojoba, raspberry seed, argon, cucumber, orange and bergamot. Also included are aloe vera, vitamin C, wheat protein and witch hazel, which help make this one of the most natural creams on the market.
03 PEAT Y’S DISC BRAKE CLEANER £7.99
Downhill mountain bike legend Steve Peat knows a thing or two about brakes and how important a wellmaintained disc brake is. His new formula disc cleaner will help improve your brake performance, dissolve grease and oil that is contaminating the brake surface and recondition your pads. All of which will help to reduce brake noise while using a fully biodegradable formula.
04 TILE TRACKER £20
Tile is a Bluetooth tracker that can be attached to, or secreted within, stuff you want to keep tabs on, such as keys, or even your bike.
