Advantages: Guide you through the rough stuff Disadvantages: None so far
...Well I don't know how much you can say about a front tyre for a mountain bike. I bought these from wiggle.co.uk at a bargin price and they have not let me down yet.
They replaced my tioga tyres which, frankly, were old and going alittle bold (like their owner!). The tyres arrived anfd they look spangley with a red trim around the tyre wall and a sparse looking pattern of nobbles (which worried me). They also have kevalar beeding around the edge which, for all you techo's, means you can fold them up and bung a spare tyre in your pack, just incase. The Kevalar also means they are lighter than wire beeded tyres.
Right then, I got the shiney new tyres, put the on the bike (which was an easy job - no complaints there), and took them out on a 55km race. They were great, we went through mud, chalk, rain showers, loose flint, pine...

The base of these spines was reinforced, meaning that punching with fists was comfortable as the spines dug into the reinforced pad rather than the hand. Once again I suffered no hand injuries whilst wearing these gloves.
Performance:
As I have already stated, these gloves stood up excellently to the conditions in which I played. The durability was a big bonus, and the grip was very good until...

Advantages: enormous carrying capacity, great design... Disadvantages: none...
...for a days ride in any weather conditions. The pack although being quite big compresses very well should you want to use it at less than or significantly less than its full load bearing potential…
Another benefit of the Camelbak design is the adjustability and comfort of fit as it allows you to carry quantities of both water and kit that in a normal rucksack or other bike mounted carrier would make the bike unstable or your back uncomfortable to the possible extent of making riding difficult, dangerous and at the very least uncomfortable.
Overall, a fantastic Camelbak which I would highly recommend......

Hoover's original The One cleaner has come in for a lot of critisism, but the latest range seems to be a great improvement on the existing model with much better performance.
