Science in Sport GO Isotonic Energy Gel Mixed Pack (10 x 60ml)
Image
For rides over 1.5 hours, you’ll burn through the reserves of glycogen stored in your muscles and therefore need to take on some additional carbohydrates so as not to ‘hit the wall.’
Image
The gel format makes it super quick and easy to consume those necessary carbs – and there’s a huge range of flavours, so you’re sure to find one you like.
Image
If you haven’t tried them before, why not get started with this multipack, including orange, apple, lemon and lime, cherry, fruit salad.

Continental Grand Prix 5000 Tire - Clincher
Image
Not only do worn tires not grip as well, leading to more nervous cornering, you’re also more likely to suffer some punctures on a set of rubber that’s on its way out.
Image
Continental’s GP5000s are a firm favourite here at CW, being fast, grippy and – importantly – offering good levels of puncture protection.

Tech features editor

After winning the 2019 National Single-Speed Cross-Country Mountain Biking Championships and claiming the plushie unicorn (true story), Stefan swapped the flat-bars for drop-bars and has never looked back. 

Since then, he’s earnt his 2ⁿᵈ cat racing licence in his first season racing as a third, completed the South Downs Double in under 20 hours and Everested in under 12.

But his favourite rides are multiday bikepacking trips, with all the huge amount of cycling tech and long days spent exploring new roads and trails - as well as histories and cultures. Most recently, he’s spent two weeks riding from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia
