Pick ’n’ Mix

Trinkets to see you through

1 MUC-OFF RAINPROOF ESSENTIALS CASE

£19.99, muc-off.com

Freezing yourself at -273.15°C should be pretty awful, but it’s actually 0K. And going cycling in the rain should be pretty tiresome, but it’s actually… no it’s actually pretty tiresome. But at least you can cross one less embuggerance off the list with this waterproof case for phones, cards and keys or tubes, levers and tools.

2 PRO STEALTH TEAM SADDLE

£179.99, freewheel.co.uk

If Jesus had a car it would be a Chrysler, although he’s known to have a Honda, but he does not speak of his own Accord. And if Jesus had a bike saddle, it probably wouldn’t be the Pro Stealth Team, because Jesus was humble and the Stealth Team is Pro’s very best saddle, weighing just 161g and featuring carbon rails, composite base and snub-nosed profile designed to aid pelvic rotation.

3 WOLF TOOTH 8-BIT KIT ONE MULTI-TOOL

£150, saddleback.co.uk

Master link and valve stem lock nut pliers, master link storage, valve cleaner, spoke wrench, valve core remover, T10 and T25 Torx bits, flat head 3.5 and Phillips 2 screwdriver, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm hex bits, tyre lever, rim dent remover, chain breaker, tyre plug tool with plug storage, mini utility blade and spare blade. This is what Wolf Tooth has crammed into this multi-tool set, leaving no room for jokes. Oh, and the three tools stack and magnetically clip together like a big Swiss Army knife.

4 ADIDAS SP0041 SUNGLASSES

£167, adidas.co.uk

We’ve lost a load of weight simply by wearing bread on our heads. It’s a new type of loaf hat diet. And you know what else is good to wear on your head? Adidas’s SP0041 sunglasses. Sure, the name could use some work, but the lens offers great optics and the cut-off frames increase the field of vision.

5 TYRE GLIDER

£9.99, tyreglider.co.uk

Every now and again someone remortgages their house to finance a daft bike invention and we all sigh and worry about their families. But not today. Because the Tyre Glider, invented by a chap called Kevin, is an ingenious way of installing and removing tight tyres. It’s tricky to explain, so head over to tyreglider. co.uk to watch a demo video, as presented by Youtube star ‘Ride With Roy’. We’d invest.
