CamelBak Delaney DC Bumbag Review

Originally designed as a running bumbag, the design is great for riding, including two water bottles (total 1.5 litre capacity), two gel flasks, a pocket with key clip and more than large enough for your phone and a small tool and a bungee cord to attach a shell jacket.

The wide band and large padded rear support do a great job of supporting the weight without having to overtighten the belt and the bottles were easy to remove and re-holster, but stayed snug in the pockets.

The adjustable waist strap rolls up to avoid annoying whiplash from the loose straps.

Worth its price for the bottles and flasks alone, it’s a great alternative to a hydration pack, especially when its really warm as you stay much cooler than wearing a hydration pack.

Kore B52 Stem 2011 Review

Kore have introduced their new version of the B52 stem, which is designed to take on the big boys when it comes to performance.

Forged stem in seven lengths from 50 to 80mm, all with 31.8mm bar clamp and zero degree rise keeps the front end low.   Weight from 176g to 224g depending on length option, and the weight is kept down by polycarbonate insert featuring the Kore logo.  Even with hard wrenching on wide bars the B52 will remain stiff.

Available in black or white.

Great looks and performance for the price.
