The sunshine ain't going away, and we haven't put our bikes away for a good couple of weeks now as we bask in the glorious sunshine. Hallelujah!
100% Speedtrap sunglasses
£184.00
The newest shades brand on the block are now repped by Peter Sagan, and the Speedtraps promise enhanced vision and clarity thanks to a six base single lens shield that increases your peripheral, with a Hydrolio treatment over the tough polycarbonate lens to repel oil and water. They offer complete UV protection (100% of course) and the frames are made from a custom moulded Grilamid® TR90 to increase strength. "The ultimate performance paired with aggressive futuristic styling", say 100%... is that the case? Dave Arthur's verdict is imminent.

Giant SLR Zero 42 + Giant Gavia AC tyres
£1,649.96
For this review our tester Liam is trying Giant's SLR Zero 42 carbon hoops with their Gavia Zero tyres; and Giant claimed the wheels in their 42mm depth are fine all-rounders for riding through the mountains and attacking off the front in a sprint alike. Weight for the pair is 1395g, with a rim width of 17mm and precision-sealed cartridge bearings. DT Aerolite spokes bring the weight down, and Giant supple their own SLR carbon brake pads for "pinpoint braking performance". Can they compete with the likes of Zipp and Enve? The review is coming soon.

Ritchey Logic WTS Alpine JB Tyre
£41.95
While they will forever be known best for quality steel frames, these tubeless-ready tyres from Tom Ritchey's brand are subject to the same level of precision engineering and detail to create a solid and dependable adventure tyre that was inspired by his rides as a youngster with fellow engineer Jobst Brandt (hence the JB name).

Is it a superior case of Ritchey Logic or does the inverse tread idea lack common sense? Stu is riding the tyres at the moment, with a verdict due shortly...
