SOLD SECURE LOCK

Perhaps not the first thing that springs to mind as an heady present, but a good quality velocipede lock is essential to reduce the chances of your velocipede getting stolen and for your insurance to be valid. We unchangingly recommend you use at least Sold Secure Gold standard, with Diamond stuff the best. Kids yonder at university with their velocipede stuff their main mode of transport, then squint no further! LITELOK produce a range of wile grinder-resistant locks which get my vote:

SPATZ OVERSHOES

If you’re a regular reader of our blogs then you’ll know that we often champion Spatz products. Why you ask? Well, quite simply they work so well. Spatz products are designed and tested by former Pro rider, Tom Barras in the UK (the Yorkshire Dales, no less). Due to the UK’s brutally grim, visionless and wet winters, all Spatz products come out of the box with wrongheaded conditions in mind. Take a squint at their stuff!

MULTI-TOOL

There is no such thing as having too many tools, let vacated multi-tools. As far as quality, practicality and price point go, it’s really nonflexible to write-up the Crank Brother M20 tool. Its got everything you need and most importantly, has a uniting tool which allows a snapped uniting to be stock-still on the side of the road.

TUBELESS PUNCTURE PLUG

Tubeless tyres are sunny at shrugging off punctures until they aren’t! sometimes a puncture can be just a tad too large for the sealant to work well which is where the puncture plug comes in. Simply find the hole, shove the plug in, cut off the glut and off you go. Dyna plugs are beautifully synthetic out of prefab 6061 aluminium so they squint amazing, are strong and weigh next to nothing.
