11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/2kca8XP

Another week has come and gone and it's time for the weekend. But, before you crack a beer and prep for a weekend full of glassy tarmac and flowing singletrack, have a gander at the latest bits of kit that have rolled through the doors of our Australian and UK HQ's.

New mountain bike gear

Ritchey WCS XC Mountain Pedal

Go to any XC race and nearly everyone will be on either Shimano or Crank Brothers pedals, which is fine, but if you fancy some extra spice in your pedalling life other options are available. Case in point, these Ritchey WCS XC Mountain Pedals. They’re shiny and pretty light, with a claimed weight of 298g. Unfortunately our set weighed 299g so we’ve put them in the bin. Just kidding!

Tenuous bike humour aside, they look very similar to Shimano SPD pedals with an almost identical cleat. Our XC tester Joe Norledge has been putting this pair through its paces, with a full review due soon.
