This week in bike stuff: 13th January
New gear from Roval, Pinarello, Brompton, Vel-Oh, De Rosa and MilKit

Specialized's wheel arm, Roval Components, has launched a brand new all-round road wheelset, the CLX 50. At 50mm deep and with a 20.7mm internal rim width, the tubeless-ready wheels are designed for adaptability; an ideal echoed in the fact that there's a clean sweep of compatibility across all brake and axle standards.
Pinarello Dogma F10


Amid some slight controversy, in which Velocite claimed Pinarello had stolen its patents, the Italian brand launched its new flagship race bike this week, the F10. As you'd expect, the bike is claimed to be stiffer, lighter, and more aerodynamic, but for the full story read our first look and first ride review here.

Folding bike brand Brompton has teamed up with Vespertine NYC to launch a limited edition New York City bike. The design features a few tweaks to the original Brompton to make it very city-centric. Read the full story here.
Velo-Oh backpack
London-based brand Vel-Oh has just launched a brand new backpack, seemingly aimed at the fashion-conscious commuter. The bag can switch between a backpack and a tote bag, and is made from 100% waxed cotton with leather details and straps. Looks good; functional. Great stuff.


De Rosa's new Protos, launched this week, claims to be a massive 20% lighter than its predecessor, thanks to a new layering system employed on the bike that utilises four different types of carbon. As well as that though, De Rosa has launched the bike a stream of awesome colourways, which is obviously the most important thing to consider here.

'I have always believed that the best possible bicycle is the one we haven’t conceived of or created – yet.'
MilKit Compact tubeless system
The MilKit Compact is essentially a system that makes the accommodation of tubeless tyres a lot more hassle-free. The valves enable a syringe to both administer and withdraw silicone from inside the tyre chamber, which as well as making things a lot less messy, allows the user to check the condition of the sealant inside. Clever, eh.
