Expensive smart cyclewear that's made in the UK; water resistance is a bonus, better stitching may be needed

Simple and reliable CO2 inflator - not the cheapest but works well.

Well-made leg warmers that should last a long time, but make sure you get the fit right

Fast action, beefily-constructed pro workshop pump, recommended for everyone but more petite mechanics

Efficient, versatile and surprisingly comfortable aero bike, but look out for cross winds

Good, reliable carbon disc wheels that will suit cyclo-crossers and road disc early adopters

Very good first incarnation of road hydraulic from Shimano; better will surely follow

Tough and fairly light mid-section wheels with some novel technologies

Slim-cut soft-shell with superb temperature adjustability

Excellent choice for commuters, with just about enough power for longer forays
