FOUR ESSENTIALS

01 TORQ EXPLORE ORGANIC FLAPJACKS £1.65

Energy products have no right to taste this good! The original carrot cake and apple strudel flavours are now legendary in the CyclingPlus office. These two new flavours (banana cake and bakewell slice) look set to challenge their predecessors for the title of office favourite energy snacks. Like all Torque products these flapjacks are both vegan and certified organic. With 1103kJ of energy, 42g of carbs and just 8.2g of fat they certainly work for us.

02 FOLDYLOCK £74.99

Compact locks are great for commuting, but you still want a high level of security. The Foldylock provides Sold Secure silver-rated protection in a compact package. The rivets are recessed and hardened to prevent cutting and the lock cylinder is designed to be anti-drill. The six plates expand to enable you to properly secure your bike yet fold up into a bottle -boss mounting, rattleproof sleeve.

03 TOKEN BLING KIT £74.99

These alloy jockey wheels not only add a touch of bling they also save a few grams at 19g complete with lightweight alloy bushings and running on ceramic, smooth TBT bearings. Available in black, blue, red and gold, and Campagnolo, Shimano and SRAM versions.

04 CHROME FULSOM 2.0 SHORTS £110

Workwear-inspired design and made from a highly durable, four-way stretch fabric treated with a waterresistant DWR coating. The crotch is double-lined for comfort and durability, and with flat seams throughout they feel great on the bike and they look good off it too. Reflective details and a seatbelt-like webbing U-Lock holster on the hip make these the perfect summer commute shorts.
