A couple of helmets from Limar have arrived. Benji has swiped the 910 already, this is the 757.
_sim4540
A Lynskey Ridgeline LT - this arrived a week or so ago actually. It's going in the next issue's Designed-For-The-UK Ti Hardtail test.
_sim4539
Remember Shimano SPD sandals? Well, Lake have done some now.
_sim4537
Magura's "Old School" merino cycling top.
_sim4536
More Magura apparel - the "San Diego" cap.
_sim4535
Dinky puncture repair kit from Knog. Yep, folding tyre levers.
_sim4533
Just in time for Summer! The Schwalbe Dirty Dan tyre. We've also got their Wicked Will tyre on test at the moment.
_sim4531
Bike cleany stuff from White Lightning. We've got some of their cool new completely clear grease too (can grease be "cool"..?)
_sim4530
Camelbak's Podium insulated bottle. Lighter than other insulated bottles - and it holds more fluid.
_sim4529
Nice 90mm stem from Salsa - the Pro-Moto Ti S.U.L.

  1. Dirty Dan looks like a slightly tweaked Black Shark Mud IMO

    [i](can grease be “cool”..?)[/i] Hell yes, I have about 20 different types of grease in my workshop, I like lubricants 😀

    That Salsa stem looks ideal for my CX bike

  2. >Lynskey looks nice. Has it got ‘Brant’ geometry as it looks pretty slack?

    I did the numbers, so I guess it has Brant geometry, but Brant geometry for people that don’t like Ragley geometry.

    So a 69deg head angle at ride height (instead of 67.5deg on the Ragley), a touch longer chainstays and a slacker seat (73deg on all models).

  3. What’s wrong with a slackish head angle? The stem’s suitably short to “nippy up” the handling.

    It’s slack seat angles that can lead to bike handling problems IME.
