Bars and Stems

Handlebars, as with almost every other contact point on a bike are available in a variety of different sizes, materials and price ranges. There are several different shapes of bars available; there is no right or wrong choice and it's entirely down to personal taste, so it's worth taking the time to research the best option.

Wheelsets and Tyres

Many manufacturers are now able to produce high quality wheel packages for less than the cost of specifying and building a custom pair of wheels. Despite being mass produced factory wheels these are, in our experience, more than adequate to train and race on - even pro riders use them. Learn what to look for here.

Seat Posts and Saddles

Seatposts are available in a variety of materials; alloy, carbon and titanium. Each has different characteristics and should be selected appropriately, and the most common source for discomfort amongst new cyclists is the seat area. Find out which type is right for you.

Chainset and Groupset

Groupset is the term commonly given to the components that turn a frame into a bike. With only a few major manufacturers dominating the market, it can be hard to know what to choose. Read our buyer's guide to find out more.
