 Cheesy, chromed, poorly-fitting handlebar plugs aren’t the best way to set off your road bike. Ritchey’s new Pro cork bar tape comes to the rescue! Apart from being comfy, stretchy, shock-absorbent and long enough for wide drop bars, Ritchey Pro bar tape includes colour-matched cam-type expander plugs that are tightened by a simple twist of an Allen key. The plugs securely hold your tape in place and give a nice finished look to your handlebar.

  Salsa's new Cyclecross brake levers are very cool. They attach either side of your stem and sit "in-line" with the brake cables. (allowing you safe braking from both the drops and the flats).

They're cantilever compatible with a delrin bushing at the pivot for smooth actuation. The hinged clamp fits 31.8 (oversized) bars and includes s 2-piece shim for 26.0 bars. They feature an angled cable for clean cable routing and a drilled lever blade for better grip. Weight: 92 grams. |
