We are excited that this month we have brought in lots of new options for our subscribers! Building upon last month we now have a brand new nutrition and hydration options with Veloforte and even more flexibility for you to customise your box, your way.
Nutritionally we now have four bundles, one from each of our trusted brands:
Maurten - our favourite combination of Gel 160 and Solid 225. Gel 160 makes the most of Maurten's hydrogel technology — encapsulating 40 grams of carbohydrates in each serving. Solid 225 contains a glucose-fructose mix that shows similar absorption rates to carbohydrate drinks and gives you something to chew on!
Precision Fuel & Hydration - PF30 Gels and Chews to rapidly deliver 30g of carbs into your system with a non-sickly taste. Light and easy on the stomach and lightweight and compact to carry.
STYRKR - Gel 30, Bar 50 and STYRKRTHON. Gel 30 brings 30g of carbohydrates and a little nitric oxide boost to fuel top performance. Bar 50 has that bit greater carbohydrate content and all natural ingredients to fuel your rides. To recover we love the play on the old Marathon, with the STYRKRTHON a vegan protein bar that is super tasty.
NEW: Veloforte - a full range of options including bars, gels and chews! The bars use all natural ingredients to provide 40g of dual-source carbs and 5g of plant protein - ideal for longer rides. The chews are there for a pure energy boost; 44g of natural energy from real fruit and the purest electrolytes. Finally, the gels which are designed to provide both energy (22g of carbs) and electrolytes (110mg) - again with all natural ingredients. All these options taste great and are light on the stomach.
On the hydration front there are options to choose from too:
Maurten: Drink 320 / 320 CAF, the world's most carbohydrate-rich sports drink, based on the same hydrogel technology as Maurten's Gels. 80g of carbs per serving (500 ml). Our boxes come with and without 100mg caffeine options, utilizing the hydrogel technology to hide the bitterness of the caffeine.
Precision Fuel & Hydration: PH1000 Electrolyte tablets. These are a reasonably strong electrolyte drink designed to help you stay hydrated when you're sweating. Hypotonic formula enhances the absorption of water during exercise. Perfect for warm summer rides.
STYRKR: Dual Carb Drink MIX90 - Quick release, fast absorbing and gentle on the stomach - perfect to rehydrate and refuel on the bike.
NEW: Veloforte - we've opted to include the electrolyte based drinks with a mild carb level (22g) for something lighter on the stomach and very hydrating. We also include Veloforte's Recovery Protein Shakes to help you recover from hard rides and strength training sessions.
Maintenance Items from Silca, Effetto Mariposa, Topeak, KMC, Wolf Tooth, Hutchinson, VeloTool, Jagwire, Orange Seal, Morgan Blue and Muc Off!
Morgan Blue Degreaser - an active cleaner-degreaser for the chain and gears. This degreaser is used by several professional teams and more importantly is loved by our team!
VeloTool Dummy Hub - can be used to hold your chain whilst cleaning your drivetrain or when you are travelling with your bike - versatile, simple, and very useful!
Jagwire Pad Spacer & Bleed Block - handy to get those brake pads spaced to avoid any rub and comes with a tool to put in place when giving you hydraulic disc brakes a once over (which they probably need by this point in the season!)
Presta Valve Cores - with more and more of us running tubeless, these can easily get a bit clogged up with sealant and not perform so well. Nice little refresh saves buying completely new valves and removing the tyre form the rim!
Hutchinson Tyre Levers - finally tyre levers from people who make tyres! Plastic coasted metal to protect your wheel's finish and still be nice and strong.
Orange Seal Sealant - Instantly seals punctures up to 6mm and slices up to 19mm long. Lasts up to 45 days between top-ups and performs down to -11 degrees Celsius although we hope the winter isn't that cold!
Effetto Mariposa Allpine Light Bike Cleaner - really effective and great smelling bike cleaner that's completely biodegradable and rinse free if you want!
Muc Off Ceramic Wet Lube - its unique ceramic coating that provides incredible durability and long distance performance. The formulation uses Boron Nitride to ensure ultra low friction for ultimate drive chain efficiency, high performance and durability - a winter performance essential.
Topeak Smart Gauge D2 - Precision digital gauge reads up to 250 psi / 17 bar. LCD display can be programmed to show pressure in psi, Bar, or kg/cm2. Perfect for fine tuning the rolling resistance out of your ride!
Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX - the ideal travel companion! Features a fine tooth ratchet mechanism with reverse lever and thumb wheel for quick rotation and control in tight spots and includes hardened steel tools in 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm hex, T10, T25 Torx® and #2 Phillips bits, 2 plastic tire levers and magnetic bit holder.
Silca Waterless Wash - from the scientists at Silca! Spray onto your frame and clean mild dirt while leaving a ceramic coating to reduce future dirt and debris from sticking to the frame.
Silca Super Secret Chain Lube - This lube forms a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt wax dipping. The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide outperforms almost everything in friction testing while being much faster and easier to apply.
KMC Chain - we have 11 and 12 speed options from the people who know chains like no other. Time to replace your chain?
Wolf Tooth Titanium Bottle Cage Bolts - these low profile bolts come in a pack of four and add a bit of class to your bike. Whether you are after every gram or need to carry some heavy loads - these are perfect!
