Handlebar tape

Grepp Handlebar Tape Ultimate Gray
Grepp Handlebar Tape
Grepp handlebar tape is woven in Sweden from organic materials and is designed to last year after year.

The tape is exceptionally hardwearing to withstand crashes and the roughest of off-road rides, providing excellent grip even when damp or sweaty.

The tape can be re-wrapped infinitely so you don't need to throw it away when you do a cable change. And you can even stick it in the wash if it's humming a bit!

Flared drops have found popularity in the cycle-cross and gravel racing communities where control and stability over off-road surfaces is important. For the long distance tourer flared drops give an even greater range of hand positions, allowing you to shuffle around on the bars and reduce fatigue.

Saddle

Brooks B17 Saddle Standard / Black
Brooks B17 Saddle
Manufactured in the UK, a tough 5mm thick leather top is stretched from a thin metal cantle plate at the rear, over the rails to the nose piece and secured by rivets. This durable leather top eventually wears to the shape of the user’s ‘sit bones’ for a superior riding experience. With the right leather-care a Brooks saddle can easily last a lifetime of riding.

It may seem counterintuitive, but firm and less cushioned saddles are proven to reduce friction while cycling which protects against chafing and rubbing. Should the hammock-like design of the saddle start to sag too much, the leather can be re-tensioned by tightening a bolt in the nose piece.
Sonder Zone 133 / Black
+£29.99
Sonder Zone [OEM]
The Zone is designed for maximum pedalling efficiency and comfort on longer rides, whether on road or off it.

Chromoly rails with suspension system

Cut-out shape relieves pressure

High density foam seat for comfort

We’ve selected a flat saddle profile that’s long enough to allow for lots of micro-adjustments to your riding position over the course of a full day on the bike. The nose width allows you to move forward over the pedals on climbs and sprints, and a tapered back enables you to get behind the saddle easily for switchback descents or technical off-road sections.

We’ve chosen a nylon fibre saddle base to provide a stiff and stable pedalling platform for a low overall weight. This base is connected to the chromoly rails using a patented suspension system that reduces road buzz and improves comfort without compromising on support.

High density foam stays comfortable for longer, adding to the saddle’s supportive platform. And a long central cut-out in the middle of the Zone relieves pressure on the perineum, allowing you to ride for longer.

Sonder Kura
+£34.99
Sonder Kura [OEM]
Adventure cycling is diverse; in the course of a single trip you can find km's of asphalt, traverse rutted grasslands, weave through thickly forest singletrack, climb loose gravel track or descend steep rocky trails.

It is unlikely you are going to find a single saddle position for all of this terrain. With this in mind Kura has a flat longitudinal profile with a gentle lateral curvature to give an extended saddle area, allowing you to position yourself around the saddle as you move between road, downhill, and climbing.

The honeycomb base reduces weight whilst still providing structure and support that adapts and flexes with your motion.

Titanium rails giving 50 mm of forward and back adjustment to help you find your sweet spot. Titanium is more forgiving than steel so provides a little more comfort.

Slightly wider than our Adobe saddle, it may provide additional comfort for riders with wider sit bones.

Seatpost

Sonder Seatpost / 27.2mm / 400mm
Sonder Seatpost [OEM] /
A seat post that is reliable and offers adjustability to help you find your ultimate riding position.

Membar is all about adjustability. With a twist of your allen key the micro adjustment rail clamp allows the saddle angle to be fine tuned to your ideal position.

Your saddle can be fitted with minimal faff thanks to a quick release action that allows the upper rail clamp to be released without removing the retaining bolt. The lower rail clamp is secured to the seat post which means that it will not fall in the mud when you are trying to fit your saddle.

Ride longer, ride further with the Cane Creek eeSilk suspension seatpost.

At 295g the eeSilk Post is comparable in weight to traditional rigid seatposts while offering 20mm of vertical compliance to help improve control on rough surfaces and reduce fatigue on long rides. It's the sort of upgrade you thank yourself for 6 hours into a ride!

Helmet Mount Black
+£4.99
Helmet Mount
The Helmet Mount allows you to attach your Alpkit bike light to your helmet so you can scan the trail ahead and fly round sharp bends without having to wait for your handlebar light to catch up.

The Velcro straps thread through your helmet vents and a three-pronged pivot with screw tightener allows you to adjust your lighting angle securely. The Helmet Mount is compatible with the Phase 400, Phase 800, Ariel, Hadron.
Cockpit Mount / Black
+£15.99
Cockpit Mount
The Garmin and Light Outfront Handlebar Mount combines two mounts on one arm so your bars aren’t covered in devices.

Sticking out front, the twist lock Garmin mount makes it easier to route find and operate on the move. And you can attach your bike light underneath so your screen isn’t affected by any glare.

The arm positions both your lights and GPS more centrally and is made from durable aluminium. The bracket attaches with screws and comes with an assembly pack so you can fit it securely.

The mount fits the Phase 400, Phase 800, Ariel and Hadron lights.

Tau Rear
+£12.99
Tau
Bright enough to blind you when you turn it on so you can be sure that other road users will also see you.

Tau+ front safety light offers 65 lumens of 270° ultra wide lighting with 10 m beam distance.

Tau- rear safety light will shed out 20 lumens of 270° ultra wide lighting from the red COB LED strip

Tau is visible from up to 100 m and is water resistant so they will happily brighten your way even on the gloomiest of days and is impact resistant from 1 m.

Switch protection prevents any unwanted battery usage and battery capacity indicator will let you know when the juice is running low.

Only 22g including the USB rechargeable battery and LED lights that never need replacing will keep you light and bright for years to come!

Each Tau light comes with a bigger and a smaller strap to fit with most bars/seat posts and if you need it even bigger, just lace the bands together to make a larger loop.
Phase / 400
+£19.99
Phase / 400
The Phase 400 is our lightweight, yet durable, rechargeable bike light for a midweek evening blast on the bike.

5 lighting modes and a 200m beam distance

Versatile: can be attached to handlebar, helmet or cockpit mount

Rechargeable Li-ion battery, with micro-USB cable

Say hello to our sleek, new bike light range: they’re light, durable and rechargeable (and they say hi back). At just 123g, the Phase 400 is the final tool you need to make the most of evening rides. With 400 lumens and >200m beam distance, a Phase bike light will keep you company and confident on your dusk rides.

The Phase 400 has been made with the roadie in mind: whether you’re on a family ride, a mid-week spin or your daily commute to work, you’re going to need an all-round bike light for the incoming dark evenings. But don’t worry if you end up on a canal path or a gravel track, this rechargeable light will suit you just fine for a short jaunt off-road.

Flick between 5 lighting modes: high, mid, low, SOS and strobe. The Phase 400 has a maximum battery life of 8 hours and 20 minutes in low mode, so in the case of a surprise night-time emergency, you’re sorted. The 80-degree beam angle ensures you can see and be seen.

We’ve added in some nifty features, including memory lighting. The light will remember the most recently used mode and default to it the next time you head out on your bike. The Phase 400 is compatible with a handlebar mount (included), a cockpit mount and a helmet mount. It also conveniently charges with a versatile micro-USB cable.
Boson
+£24.99
Boson
A powerful bike light with tough aluminium shell suitable for mountain biking and road biking. Boson is small and compact with a Li-ion rechargeable battery and a Micro USB port.

Boson has 5 lighting modes which are cycled through (excuse the pun) with a single illuminated switch. High power pumps out 850 lumens making even the darkest commute a tunnel of light. Turn it down to medium power and you still have 320 lumens to play with - more than enough for negotiating un-lit cycle ways and paths.

If you want to be seen rather than see where you are going switch out to the 6 or 3 Hz flashing modes. Bright enough to be seen even during daylight hours, it really comes into its own during the hours of twilight and dusk.

A mounting bracket is included (fits 18 - 36 mm bars and no special tools needed). Once attached Boson can be fixed or removed with ease. It allows 360 degree rotation for complete control over your beam of light; the textured lens projects a smooth wide beam ideal for nocturnal riding.

Note: Boson doesn’t take a "standard" 18650 battery - the battery has both anode and cathode at the same end. Do not switch on Boson during charging as it could damage the battery.

Sonder Contact
+£29.99
Sonder Contact
Contact are lightweight clipless pedals compatible with all Shimino SPD-SL cycling shoes. Contact has a large platform for energy-efficient road riding. They're stable and secure particularly your cadence increases or climbing 20% gradients or more.

They have a large, stiff platform, and easy to get on with improving power transfer for sprints and climbs and supporting your feet for all-day spinning in comfort.

To clip into pedals, you step on the pedal’s face and push your foot forwards or downwards to engage the cleat. To release your foot, simply rotate it outwards. They're ideal as a first clipless pedal, or anyone looking for an affordable pedal that has high-end tech.

The bigger contact area of the SPD-SL system means stable and secure pedalling and it is more energy efficient too, preserving your legs for those deceptively savage inclines at the end of your ride.

The thermoplastic body and fibre-glass-reinforced binding is durable but keeps the weight down to 148g per pedal, shaving vital grams from your drive chain.
Sonder Torque Black
+£29.99
Sonder Torque
Combining the Comfort of plastic with the grip of metal pedals.

A tough large platform, thin profile thermoplastic body with replaceable steel pins. The Cromoly axle gives durability and strength that you can depend on.

LSL bushing combined with a sealed bearing keeps the pedals turning in all weather conditions.

We have tried and tested these pedals and they have stayed true through winter and summer trails.
Sonder Reko
+£50.99
Sonder Reko
The Reko are lightweight SPD pedals designed gravel riding and cross-country mountain biking over longer distances.

The Reko's platform-free design reduces the overall weight of the pedals to 145g per pedal for lighter, faster riding. Double-sided SPD bindings are easy to clip in and out of and their compact design means they're less likely to clog with muck on filthy winter rides.

The clip-in design improves the efficiency of your pedal strokes, saving energy on long rides and improving power transfer on climbs, and gives you more control of the back end of the bike.
Sonder Jekyll Black
+£59.99
Sonder Jekyll
Jekyll is two faced; SPD's and flats all in one, multi-purpose mtb touring pedals.

Jekyll gives you the freedom to ride with normal shoes or with cleats. Jekyll combines a single sided SPD mechanism with a flat pedal body with grip pins on the other. They are ideal for riders who switch frequently from the daily commute to nipping down to the local shop for a pint of milk in their loafers.

The flat side has 8 replaceable grip pins, 4 mm long, they provide grip in all conditions. When you are ready to get your power on the cleats are just a half rotation away - no swapping your pedals out.

Jekyll also comes provided with Sonder 'SH-51 style' cleats.
Sonder Slingshot Black
+£59.99
Sonder Slingshot
The wide platform Slingshot pedal is designed to provide the support, control and confidence you need for a variety of riding, whether on trail, gravel or road.

Wide 87x90 platform made from 6061 aluminium

Double-sided adjustable SPD clips

Chromoly axle with sealed bearings

The Slingshot's wide foot platform provides plenty of support to the foot for more comfortable pedalling over long distances, reducing hot-spots. This additional foot support also gives you greater control of the rear end of the bike on tight turns or technical trail.

If you're using the Slingshot for mountain biking, the pedal's wide surface gives you a platform to stand on unclipped, ready to bail out if needed, on heart rate-quickening sketchy sections.

With double-sided SPD clips and a large pedal area, the Slingshot is easy to clip in and out of in a hurry. A clipless system provides greater pedalling efficiency when climbing and more control when descending.

Description

Our Rival 22 Grand Tourer build is specifically designed for high-mileage cycle touring straight out of the box. Specced with everything you need to for a two-wheeled world tour including: Brooks saddle, bottle cages, mudguards and a pannier rack.

At a glance

SRAM Rival 11-speed groupset
Santiago Steel fork
Sonder Nova 700c UK Made wheelset
Reynolds 631 steel frame

Santiago knows its heritage; cold-worked, air hardened steel (100% recycled) is steeped in the history of long distance riding. But with bang up-to-date geometry, Santiago has a refreshing feel that you know will be good for years to come: 450 mm chainstays, 1.1 m wheelbase, 71 degree head angle, a fork rake of 55 and generous tyre clearance. This makes for a truly comfortable, fast, assured bike, both in its own right (audax slaying, winter riding) or when racked up for multi-month adventures.

Rival22

If you’re touring fully-loaded, you’re going to want the FSA super compact 48/32 chainset with an 11 – 36 cassette at the back. With big wide gear ratios (ranging from 0.89:1 to 4.36:1) it’ll get you up Winnat’s Pass fully-loaded without taking too much off your top speed, so you’ll still be spinning it out at 30 mph pretty comfortably.

Features

Reynolds 631 steel tubing

Durable, smooth and assured on those multi-month trips Reynolds 631 steel is an excellent material for round-the-world touring where you’re completely dependent on your bike. We’d be surprised if you needed to get your frame repaired, but it’s comforting to know that finding a steel welder in the middle of nowhere is far easier than getting your alloy frame repaired. 631 is made from 100% recycled steel too.

Traditional bike, contemporary geometry

Santiago’s takes classic road bike geometry as a starting point, with a longer wheelbase and higher stack height for a more comfortable riding position and assured ride, whether you’re travelling light or fully loaded up.

Generous tyre clearance

Clearance for up to 650b x 47 mm or 700c x 37 mm tyres that make your ride more comfortable and give better grip on the bitumen as you corner.

Full traditional mounts

With full rack and guard mountains, 3 sets of bottle cage bosses and extra cage mounts on the fork, Santiago can handle being fully loaded up.

Geometry and Sizing

Sizing

Generally we recommend:
Small: Riders between 5ft 2in and 5ft 7in (157-170cm)
Medium: Riders between 5ft 6in and 5ft 10in (167-177cm)
Large: Riders between 5ft 9in and 6ft 2in (175-187cm)
X-Large: Riders 6ft 2in and over (187cm)

You can also take into consideration the standover height to ensure you pick a bike that will be a good fit. If you measure your inside leg and ensure there is a minimum of an inch from the toptube to your crotch this will give you enough seatpost adjustment to find your optimum saddle height.
