Scroll down for this week's look at a pair of cargo, gravel-specific bib shorts from Sportful, a 12-speed groupset from Campagnolo, Peter Sagan's favoured nutrition brand Osmo, some ceramic bearing jockey wheels from C-Bear and some sunglasses from Kask helmets' off-shoot brand Koo.
Campagnolo Chorus 12-speed mechanical groupset
Campagnolo's new Chorus 12-speed groupset can be set up in a disc or rim brake format with a wide range of gearing options also available. The move suggests that groupset could be used on gravel or adventure bikes to help with heavier loads or longer, steeper climbs you wouldn't normally take your road racing bike on – there is also no 53/39 chainring option for the groupset.

The additional sprocket on the rear cassette is especially welcome as the cassette will still fit Campagnolo 11-speed wheel.
The Chorus line-up sits below the Campagnolo Super Record and Record groupsets and while some carbon and titanium is swapped out for alloy and steel, the crankset is still finished in an aesthetically pleasing carbon as per it's more expensive siblings.
