Specialized have kitted the riders out with all the accessories from kit bag and helmet down to the shoes and socks as well as the fabulous E5 frames. ( See a report elsewhere on this site ). It all goes to give our team that professional look and feel.

We’ve used Competition tubs and GP4000’s for racing, they have proved very reliable as well as being light and lively. For training, some riders have stayed on the GP4000’s ( that reliable), whilst others have been on the Attack/Force combination (both tyres have also offered a very high mileage). As a winter work-horse tyre we’ve been using Gatorskins.

All served their stated purpose perfectly.

Saddle and bar tape supplier to the team.

Saddles can be a thing of personal choice, only one of our riders (for personal reasons !) couldn’t get on with it. Everyone else loved them and they looked great on the team bikes.

Bar tape – the perfect bar tape for racing.

Team bottles and race nutrition. Favourites have included electrolyte (throughout the summer) and PSP22 drinks as well as Rego. Go gels and bars have been used for race food as well as the occasional snack.

Everyone seemed to have there own favourite flavours.

We have no need to use other nutritional products outside the SIS range.
