Chains wear over a period of use and can lead to poor quality of gear shifting and the potential for the chain to brake whilst in use. The industry standard for chain replacement is when the chain wear is between 0.75% and 1.0%. Simply place one end into a link on your chain and if the 0.75% side fits in your chain will soon need replacing, if the 1.0% side fits in replace your chain immediately.

The LifeLine Tyre fitting tool makes light work of tight tyre beads; simply position the slotted jaw onto the opposing rim and place the hook under the stubborn bead, then roll the bead over the rim into place.

The Magic of Merino Merino wool is a hard-working fabric made up of ultrafine fibres, each of which work to keep you at your optimum temperature out on the bike. What's special about Merino is it's ability to regulate your temperature efficiently in both directions. With an incredible warmth to weight ratio, this jersey works beyond expectations to keep you comfortable. Merino is also naturally antibacterial and odour resistant, keeping you and your jersey fresh, ride after ride. After months of rigorous testing to find the right fabric, dhb's new Merino jersey is a perfect blend of Merino's natural ability and some modern performance extras. Modern Performance Blend dhb have designed this jersey with Autumn, Spring and Winter riding in mind. Using a mid-weight Merino blend to keep you warm in cool conditions, this wool is blended Polyamide to allow for some extra stretch. The real secret of this jersey is an added Polypropylene layer on the inside of the fabric. Soft next to the skin, this is incredibly hydrophobic, moving any moisture build up to the outside of the fabric for it to evaporate even quicker. Though Merino keeps working when it is wet, this is a nice touch to keep you more comfortable on the bike, concentrating on enjoying the ride. Paired with some dhb Merino Arm Warmers, this becomes a super adaptable jersey that can handle everything from late summer temperatures to crisp winter days. Performance Fit Made from wool, this is by no means a wooly jumper. With a fit similar to that of the dhb Aeron Collection, this jersey sits close to the body without being at all restrictive. With a cut to limit excess fabric when in a riding position, this jersey has been designed for long days in the saddle Finishing touches Like any bit of dhb kit, the finishing touches is what sets this jersey apart. Add in a rear mesh strip to release excess heat, quality silicone arm and hem grippers, and the end result is a merino jersey that not only looks the part and feels good, but performs all day long too.
This version is tubeless ready, allowing you to mount the tyre with a tube or tubeless setup. This tyre performs even faster and has greater grip when running tubeless due to lower pressures being possible. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tyres provide many benefits: they offer the ability to run lower air pressures, which dramatically improves traction; it provides a lower rolling resistance compared to when using tubes and a drastic reduction in the change of getting a flat tyre since there is no tube. MAXX SPEED A significant advantage when used in cross country and enduro tyres, the two outer layers of the compound are designed primarily to reduce rolling resistance and optimize treadwear, grip and traction. EXO Protection Maxxis EXO tyres feature an exceptional cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the tyre sidewalls. This densely woven fabric is very lightweight and is very flexible, which guarantees that the performance of the tyre is unaffected. The EXO Protection is a superb choice for rocky, aggressive and technical trails where the chance of sidewall cuts is high.

Beta Alanine supplementation is ideal for anyone participating in sports that are explosive such as sprinting or weight training and for those involved in prolonged endurance exercise. Beta-Alanine supplementation has been shown helps to increase muscle carnosine which in turn acts as a buffer for intense training. Increasing carnosine levels through Beta Alanine supplementation may delay fatigue during endurance exercise or translate into lifting more weights and increasing total work output. OTE recommend a 2-5g dose per day divided into 2 doses and taken with food. The neutral flavour and small doses means this could easily be mixed with a daily smoothie or porridge. OTE Sports are the official nutrition partners of triathlon legends Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, British Triathlon Federation and NTT Pro Cycling.
