11spd: This week's best new bike gear

http://ift.tt/2kZyjd4

Friday has arrived and a weekend of riding beckons for many of us here in the BikeRadar offices. But before we head for the hills we've got another feast of cycling kit to share with you lovely people.

New mountain bike gear

Park Tool HXS-3 Allen key set

We know that plenty of Park Tool branded Allen keys are actually produced by American firm Bondhus, and although this particular set doesn’t say so, the design and finish does match sets we’ve purchased from Bondhus direct.

That’s no bad thing, especially when you consider that Park Tool branded Bondhus keys neared the top when it came to accuracy in BikeRadar’s vast and detailed Allen key test.

In fact, the Park Tool keys were only bettered in terms of accuracy by items from Bondhus itself.

In this set, Park Tool has chosen to include seven small but commonly used ball-ended, L-shaped keys ranging from a grub screw nipping 1.5mm through to the 6mm favoured by chainring bolts.
