Congratulations, denizens of BikeRadar! You may be a week closer to death, and yet no closer to enlightenment; your partner may not love you, and your pets may have asked that you give them some space; and yet here you are, prostrated before this embarrassment of riches. Yes, ladies and gents, it’s 11spd time.
For your delectation this week, we’ve got bikes you can’t afford, a jacket you definitely can’t afford, and a selection of trinkets and tchotchkes that, if you're anything like some members of the BikeRadar office, nobody is going to buy you for Christmas because you are forever alone. In which case you'll have to make do with feasting your eyes…
New road bike kit
3T Discus C35 Team wheelset

Roadies love a bit of carbon bling but rim braking and full carbon clinchers have never been a match made in heaven, despite the great strides made in engineering over the last few years. Disc brakes address the main concerns (wet weather performance and heat dissipation), so it’s no surprise that everyone and their mum is now jumping on the disc wheel bandwagon.
The Discus C35 Team wheelset from Italian manufacturer 3T looks to have the makings of a great all-rounder. The rims are 32mm deep and measure 25mm across externally, with a nominal internal width of 18mm. We weighed our set at 1541g with 15/12mm thru-axle end-caps. That’s a bit more than the 1425g claimed weight on 3T’s website but not bad at all, and we all know that gravity is slightly weaker in Italy so that’s it’s hardly surprising.
Like most 3T products, these wheels are also available in a premium Ltd version that’s a little lighter. There’s also a cheaper alloy-rimmed Pro edition.
