Building upon the success and feedback on our first subscription box last month, here is an update to let you know what is in store for May! Firstly, thanks to those who had sneak previews of boxes and samples for all the valuable feedback, which we are putting into practice. This month features more choice than ever before - more options, more good stuff and more ways to take your riding to the next level, so let's get stuck in.
Nutrition and Hydration from Precision Fuel & Hydration (used by GCN & GTN):
PF30 Gel is a great way to get 30g of carbohydrate into your system fast. PF&H gels have a very mild, citrus-based flavour (‘Original’) to keep your tastebuds interested during longer efforts.
PF30 Chew has a high carb to weight ratio, making them a great choice when you need to travel light, or take quite a bit of fuel with you. Each packet contains 2 chews efficiently delivering 15g of carb each. Simple slight citrus taste is not sickly sweet and keeps from flavour fatigue.
PF1000 is a fairly strong electrolyte drink designed to help you stay hydrated when you're sweating. Hypotonic formula enhances the absorption of water during exercise.
All these products are vegan and vegetarian friendly!
Maintenance Items from Topeak, Pirelli, Effetto Mariposa, Muc Off, IceToolz, Morgan Blue & Hutchinson! Told you there was more choice!
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.
Pirelli P Zero SmarTube was designed to match the need for lightness and handling of professional World Tour riders and now is available to you! 70% lighter and 2x as puncture resistant as standard butyl tubes.
Effetto Mariposa Flower Power Wax is a performance wax-based lubricant using natural ingredients including a water base and a high sunflower seed wax content. It is harmless to the environment with its formula avoiding any fluorinated compounds (PFAS), graphene or sulphides.
Effetto Mariposa Caffelatex Sealant has a foaming behaviour that makes it spread evenly inside tyres, covering the whole internal surface very efficiently and ensures rapid puncture repairs. Our team members have used this stuff for years!
