Kit picks for the ENVE Stone Circle

The drive speed of the Riddler tyre on the rear wheel, combined with the high grip of the Raddler tyre on the front wheel, is a perfect setup for faster rolling gravel events, like Stone Circle, that stretch into singletrack territory.

When riding off road, keeping your bottles in place is very important. The C.I.M cages secure bottles tightly, allowing you to ride with total peace of mind, even when the trail gets choppy.

This sealant offers excellent puncture protection, as it can seal up to a 6mm hole, which is perfect for the higher volume, fast-rolling tyres you find on gravel bikes. The hybrid latex solution is safe to use with CO₂ cannisters too, so if you ever do need to plug a hole on the ride, you can use a CO₂ shot to get quickly back up to speed.

Should you get a puncture that the incredible Silca sealant cannot help you to recover from, these super-lightweight, Nanoair TPU tubes stash away in minimal space, weigh next to nothing and can be fitted in times of trouble to get you to the end of the ride.

This pump is compact, lightweight and packs a maximum pressure of 70psi, more than enough to fill high volume gravel or mountain bike tyres quickly and with minimal effort. As a bonus, it has the option to hid away a useful tool of your choice, either a Tubeless Tyre Plug Tool or a multitool. The latter could either be a Hex Bit Wrench set or a Chain + Tyre Plug set, with the chaintool being compatible with all bicycle chains.

For those rushed occasions when you’re keen not to lose the pack after a puncture, nothing beats the humble CO₂ cannister. The EOLO IV regulator head connects to the CO₂ cannister and your tyre valve simultaneously and features a dial that allows you to control the flow of into the tyre.

This set of 13 useful, mid-length bike tools, including assorted Hex and Torx wrenches, a disc pad spreader and PH2/PH Flat screwdrivers, is wrapped into one beautifully made, compact multitool with integrated masterlink storage. It’s light and corrosion resistant, both important qualities in a gravel tool.

Speaking of multitools… the super durable Triple B Tool can not only be used to adjust bent brake discs and push back the pads, but also to open your post-ride beer. Can you afford to be without it?

Having the right shoes for the day is very important. These shoes are super comfortable, breathable and very easy to walk in for those hike-a-bike sections. The relaxed Millenium fit and low weight Asper Lace cushions the foot, without leaning too far towards performance, making it a supportive and fast cycling shoe.

This outfit is the perfect combo for speed and pocket space for a long ride. Four pockets in the bibs, plus three large rear pockets plus a security pocket in the jersey, means plenty of room to stash snacks, layers and emergency kit.

Both garments are made from lightweight fabrics and feature a close yet relaxed race fit, for all-day comfort. The KISS Air² chamois pad, meanwhile, with its variable thickness padding and soft fabric near the skin, offers maximum support and luxury on the bike.

This outfit, the perfect combination of performance and style, will bring you maximum comfort with easy cool. If you want to look good on the bike and have the performance to back it up, it’s a solid choice.

The fast drying, short and light DMS pad and the super-soft jersey material make this combo not just perfect for all-day ride comfort, but one you will be happy to keep on for the après-ride activities.
