"You'll never in a gazillion years guess the main selling point of these Grippp gloves.
Oh, okay, you did guess: they're grippy. Well, that's rained on my parade, hasn't it?
The funny thing is, it's not marketing nonsense. These are remarkably grippy whether your handlebar is dry or wet.

The palms are leather - kangaroo leather, to be precise - and they're very supple. Hirzl reckon they put the leather through 'an elaborate tanning process' and give it a 'special treatment'. They're short on details - that stuff is given out on a 'need to know' basis, apparently - but they say their technology gives the gloves up to three times more grip in dry conditions, and up to five times more when it's wet." read more...

"A light and narrow set of rollers, compact, light and lovely to ride - the Hot Dog cuts the mustard..."

"The Kreitler Kompact Hot Dog 3.0 rollers are an all-round cool piece of kit. With a narrow 10in roller width they're a bit intimidating for the first time user but we found them surprisingly easy to get on with. The build quality is excellent and the bearings roll nicely, while still providing enough resistance for a decent aerobic workout. For sprinting they're great for sharpening up your leg speed and technique. The beauty of them being so small is that they're light and fold up neatly for easy storage. We'd happily ride these all winter."

A while ago we informed you of Catlike being the sponsor of the new Movistar Team, an squad that will be in the elite of the world cycling scene. From the moment the deal was made, the designers at Catlike have been working together with the team, managed by Eusebio Unzué, to develop a graphic image that suits the avant-garde and innovative design of the Movistar Team. The Movistar Team will use the top of the range model, the Whisper Plus, featuring the new floating rear retention. When it comes to the graphics, they have worked to highlight the two colours that predominate the corporate image of the main sponsor, Movistar, which will make the riders easily recognizable in the peloton. The design of the time trial helmet, the Chrono Aero Plus, will maintain the same line and will be ready soon.
