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.
Windtunnel tests show that the aerodynamic design produces way less drag than any standard round-section bar. This is achieved at no compromise to strength: Scatto is 50% stiffer than the reference bar formerly used by many of today's medal-winning track sprinters, as well as lighter.
The TK375 Chain Drop Catcher helps to prevent chains falling from double road Cranksets.
Simply find the relevant slot that matches the brand of rotor you're riding with. If the rotor slides into the slot, then it's worn and needs replacing. If the rotor doesn't fit in the slot, then you've still got enough material on the rotor to ensure effective braking. The tool has been precisely machined to ensure you get accurate results. The 2mm slot minimum thickness is a gauge for Tektro and TRP Ebike rotors. The 1.8mm slot minimum thickness is a gauge for Magura rotors. The 1.55mm slot minimum thickness is a gauge for SRAM rotors. The 1.5mm slot minimum thickness is a gauge for Shimano and Hope rotors.
Be it a gentle social spin of a long summer's evening to the leg-stinging demands of a fast-moving paceline in spring to all-day summer endurance epics, the Hors Categorie Jersey II is at just the right intersection of comfort and performance.

The Mangiacatena Replacement Kit is a genuine replacement parts kit for refreshing the internal parts on the Mangiacatena chain cleaner. It includes all brushes and the two lamellar elements, and it is easy to assemble for prolonged service life. This kit allows you to replace the parts subject to normal wear of Mangiacatena, extending its lifespan. Replacing the brushes inside the Mangiacatena is very simple. For lamellar elements, which are glued, it may be necessary to use a cutter or flathead screwdriver to remove the old elements. To glue the new ones, Effetto Mariposa recommends using normal hobby glue or glue for repairing inner tubes. Leave to dry for a few hours before using Mangiacatena.
This superb component is installed on every professional's bike. It keeps your chain from falling in case of an over-shift.
This high-performance chain cleaner thoroughly cleans all chain speeds, from single speed all the way up to 10, 11, 12 and 13-Speed chains. If you want to clean the chain in a thorough way and reduce the amount of degreasing liquid used, Mangiacatena is the one for you. It is the first chain cleaner equipped with lamellar elements at both ends, so that the chain can be cleaned by moving it in both directions, very useful also for electric bikes (E-Bikes). Equipped with six rotating brushes and a sturdy handle. Chain Cleaning with Minimum Waste There is nothing wrong with cleaning the chain with the classic brush and solvent liquid in a tin. In that way, however, a lot of solvents are wasted without getting to deep cleaning, unless you want to disassemble the chain and immerse it in the solvent. To avoid disassembly and clean in depth, we have developed Mangiacatena: the best cleaning with the least amount of solvent, in a short time, leaving the chain on the bike. Please Note: Reducing the amount of solvent used doesn’t mean that cleaning takes place without getting dirty. Better to protect the floor with a cloth or work outside. Deep Cleaning Formula The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, squeezed at both ends between lamellar plastic (PE) elements with the task of keeping as much solvent inside as possible. The washing is performed by six rotating brushes, continuously soaked in the cleaning liquid, which actively removes dirt on each side, pushing the solvent inside the chain. Instructions for Use: Open Mangiacatena by removing the cover and positioning the lower part of Mangiacatena on the bottom span of the chain Mount the cover making sure it’s perfectly aligned with the lower part, then slide the locking handle in place until it is fully engaged Add the degreasing liquid through the upper holes (it is recommended to use Effetto Mariposa Allpine Extra) until the lower tank is full to the “FILL” level line Keeping Mangiacatena in position with the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Note: the two lamellar elements at both ends reduce the waste of solvent, but slow down the sliding of the chain at least in the initial phase… so don't be afraid, just hold the Mangiacatena firmly Note: thanks to the lamellar elements, Mangiacatena allows - without wasting solvent - to pedal in both directions. To do this, it is recommended to keep the rear wheel of the bicycle off the ground (using a workshop stand or other support) It is now possible to move Mangiacatena: release the side locking handle by depressing the thumb lever and remove it, open the cover, disassemble Mangiacatena from the lower span of the chain and position it, as already described, on the upper span of the chain, for a second cleaning step. Add more degreaser if necessary Keeping Mangiacatena in position using the side handle, pedal backwards for at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants) Water rinse: mount Mangiacatena on the lower span of the chain, add water through the top holes and make at least 10 full revolutions Disassemble Mangiacatena and empty the liquid contained inside (dispose of it in accordance with the law if you use non-biodegradable degreasers or lubricants). Repeat from point 8 until perfect rinsing. In the end, rinse Mangiacatena with water and allow to air dry Dry the chain (rag, compressed air) and do not forget to lubricate it (we recommend our ecological Flowerpower Wax lubricant) Effetto Mariposa has selected Mangiacatena materials and construction for long life. They also provide a complete set of replacement brushes, Mangiacatena Replacement Kit, to replace what you wear without having to throw everything away. They have also chosen to use lamellar PE elements at both ends, instead of the more common sponges, for their greater durability and resistance For Single-Speed Transmissions and 5 to 13 Speed Chains The chain runs straight inside Mangiacatena, instead of following a tortuous path, making it also suitable for single-speed transmissions (for a chain with a maximum width of 9 mm). No problem for traditional 5 to 13 speed chains.

The Macator Road Cycling Helmet MIPS brings together the protective technology of Abus' In-Mould construction, as used on their top-flight helmets, with the brain-protecting technology of Mips. The In-Mould construction sees a tough polycarbonate shell bonded to an impact-absorbing EPS foam inner. In the event of a crash, this combination provides shock absorption and protects the head from injury. The polycarbonate shell also ensures the Macator Mips delivers everyday durability too. The modern form factor also sees extended coverage across the back of the head and nape area, boosting all-around protection. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) The Mips system is designed to provide added safety for helmets in many accidents. For certain impacts, the Mips system can reduce harmful rotational motion that might otherwise be transferred to the user’s head. Rotational motion is a common cause of concussions in oblique hits to the head. In a crash, the Mips system is designed to move slightly inside the helmet to help redirect forces away from the head.
