Ideal for commuting again, this bag is a development of the Rapha Musette bag.

It’s  produced using weather – proof strong Cordura and has a high – visibility rain cover stored inside . The side panels include reflective dots to enhance visibility.

If you just have one bike to carry and want to carry it on the car roof then the Avenir Utah 1 Bike Roof Rack will do the trick.

The aluminium channel should fit most tyres, but is a little shorter than others. The base is plastic and allows some sideways movement though the channel and arms are strong, the supporting arm is also held in place by the front fixing through a small plastic bracket.

The difference to most is that the arm does not clamp to the down-tube, instead it clamps to the raised crank, and this allows the stationary wheel to be used to prevent any movement, preventing damage to delicate tyres and tubes.  The clamp can be locked but a very tight fit between the down-tube and cranks.  £69.99

With quick releasing levers and top and bottom steel straps the Easygrip S3 is very easy to fit, it can take a while to assemble though.

It has three adjustable aluminium channels that should suite most wheel bases, channel straps secure each wheel, the two inner frames are secured anywhere by two clamps, and the last bike is secured with a double clamp to the middle bike.

A very solid and secure rack, though does not fold flat once fully assembled, and it has a little rattling from the front wheels channel, carrying three bikes it costs £152.99 and the fitting kit costs £12.99.

Offering a nice comfy fit the Shadows come with three single piece lenses – clear, yellow, and black, feeling solid the lenses are easy to swap with good coverage.

The nosepiece is rubber coated and highly adjustable.  The set comes in a box at £49.99.

If you’re into more traditional looking chainsets then this wont be for you. Arranged in two parallel pairs the four bolt spider has attached 50/34 chainrings, these have been heavily machined with fantastic stiffness.  If you are after different looks with some very slick gear shifting then this is ideal.

Including bottom bracket weight is 793g, cost is £424.99

The 1.2 kg makes 12 litres and costs £23.99.

Whilst certainly not the cheapest chamois cream on the market, this latest addition to Elite’s Ozone range has been developed using feedback from sponsored riders and testers, who should know what’s what.
