Adam's pick: Little Dude Components are quickly becoming the aftermarket parts of choice on winning race bikes!
The little guys and girls can now get the same great quality race parts that the big guys and girls get! LDC V-Brakes have close to
2" of pad adjustment to reach 1/8" to 1 3/8' rims. They work great on frames from mini sizes to pro sizes. They may not adapt to all micro size frames.
Bob's pick: Bontrager Girppy tape. Maintain a secure grip on your bars with this tacky polyurethane bar tape. Adhesive backing helps make installation easier and keeps tape from sliding on the bar during use. Reflective Bontrager bar end plugs included.
Frank's pick: Bontrager RXL winter gloves. Extreme weather demands extreme protection. And extreme protection from the elements is what you get with Bontrager's RXL glove. Windproof, waterproof, and seam-sealed to ensure it stays that way, the RXL utilizes PrimaLoft insulation to provide low-bulk, high-efficiency warmth. Fusion GelFoam padding in the heel of the palm adds cushioning, silicon grippers at the fingers and thumb provide shift and brake lever traction, and large reflectivity on the top of the hand helps ensure you stay visible no matter how nasty the weather gets.
Geoff's pick: Mavic's entry-level Syncro Helmet offers advanced ergonomics in a lightweight, simple and wallet-friendly design.Unlike Mavic's pricier helmets with carbon or aluminum skeletons, the Syncro features a traditional non-reinforced shell. This actually makes it slightly lighter than the aluminum reinforced Plasma model without sacrificing the impact resistance needed for competitive use. The helmet is highly ventilated for comfort on the hottest days and during hard efforts. The ErgoShape design process ensures an anatomic fit and totally unique aesthetic, and the removable visor increases the Syncro's versatility.On the inside, ErgoFit padding provides exceptional moisture regulation, drawing sweat away from the body. The ErgoHold retention system also features an integrated pad for cushioning and moisture regulation. A dual density dial at the back of the helmet provides up to 6cm of adjustment for a precise fit.The claimed weight for the Syncro helmet is 270g in a size Medium. Available in White Pearl/Black and Black/Red. All color options include reflective accents.
