Gore C5 Women Gore-Tex Active Trail Hooded Jacket
With all the bells and whistles this bright trail jacket is built for long days in the saddle. A little looser fit than some other Gore jackets, this is going to see some mud this winter, that's for sure. Check back for a review where it may or may not be orange still!

Bontrager Foray MTB and gravel shoe
Just in, we check out the Bontrager Foray MTB and gravel shoe. This still little number has just had a makeover and whilst it retains the Boa dial, it now looks more weather worthy than this model has in the past.
Hunt Trail Wide MTB wheelset
We've got a number of similarly priced wheelsets in for test the moment, all around the £300-400 mark. The Hunt Trail Wide MTB wheelset is the latest to be tested, at a 30mm internal width and with a £349 price tag, they fit the bill perfectly.
Rehook
A problem we truthfully hadn't realised existed until we saw the launch of this product, the Rehook is a tool that is designed solely to refit your chain when it drops off the crankset. Now we have one in the office so we can say once and for all if this is really necessary! You can read more here in this news piece.
