More trick little bits from Spank, this time the Race Kit for their pedals. Buy the pedals as normal from your local dealer, and get in touch with Mike and gang via their website and you can order yourself a Ti axle and some front loading alloy pins. The pins look lethal, 1.5mm longer than their stainless counterparts and with a star pattern to really mash your leg, I mean grip to the pedals. They also drop the weight from 410g to 335g.

Mondraker love a good stem, whether it is the integrated stem on their XC race bikes, or the Zero stem on this buff little Dune, they were certainly different.

Wow. These were my highlight today – ENVE carbon fibre direct mount stems in 50 and 60mm. The 60mm is hollow, while the 50mm has a foam core. The finish on these is wonderful, and at 130g for the 60mm – pretty damn light.
