Buff 'Obsession' wool BuffTime owned: 6 months.
Pros: Lightweight, regulates temperature all seasons, anti bacterial (no more smelly kit!), looks awesome!
Cons: None.
The verdict: Always used a Buff in some form or another. Great value, works in all weathers and has some ingenious uses!
Divide bag? Absolutely. Will most likely carry a few!
Giant Proway Carbon Bottle Cage
Time owned: 1 year.
Pros: Extremely light, subtle graphics, holds 1 Litre bottles.
Cons: Price. They retails at £30.00 a go.
The verdict: Great cage if you can get them a bit cheaper. They come in 2 'standard' cage shapes along with a side loading version (which I also own).
Divide kit bag? If they last that long I can't see why not. They've taken a few good knocks which I thought may finish them but they're going strong. The only issue I may have is using them on my forks rather than in the frame. We shall see!
Shimano M520 Clipless SPD PedalTime owned: 4 years
Pros: Good value (£34.99 rrp!), 420g (pair), Clears mud/debris really well!
Cons: Haven't found any yet.
The verdict: Heavier than some but for all the use I've had out of them I couldn't be happier.
Divide kit bag?: 100% yes!
Topeak Wedge Seatbag (Small)Time owned: 9 months
Pros: Quick release, roomy despite it's compact size, light fitting.
Cons: Not waterproof.
The verdict: Always been a Camelbak man myself but the Wedge is great for carrying the essentials, fitting is easy and it looks great!
Divide kit bag?: Training only due to size.
Time owned: 6 months.
Pros: Good value, lots of sizes/colours, lightweight.
Cons: Getting your chain-line right needs some fiddling.
The verdict: Ace bit of kit. I've fitted a 16T & 18T on my bike so I can switch between them with ease depending on the terrain: Looks great and there's loads of colours available to jazz up your steed!
Divide kit bag? Yes indeedy. I plan to run the setup pictured but may add a 20T size to the range for those 'just in case' scenarios.
