This week's five cool things includes some brand new 2021 tyres from WTB, ripe for a gravel thrashing. Plus there is this year's iteration of the classic Shimano ME7 enduro shoes, some trail from Mavic too and lastly some women's gear from Ride 100%. 

Thought the tyre lever couldn't be re-designed? Muc-Off have a new and updated lever in the form of their Rim Stix in 5 cool things this week. We also have a new gravel bike in from Merlin, men's gear from 100%, plus two sets of winter gloves from the same brand. Lastly, Race Face sent their Conspiracy jacket to be put to test through Autumn and winter. 

The O’Neal Soul Women's jersey is a functional piece of women’s riding gear. Its slim fit is well cut, its lightweight and it breathes well, but this royal blue reminds me of school uniforms and the pocket zip is rather stiff.

Striking looks, a clean fit and lightweight material make the Madison Flux Enduro Women's Long Sleeve Jersey a winner. It's bright without being garish and performs well too – plus it's a bargain at £45.
