March is now in full swing, which is no bad thing because the worst of the cold and wet weather is hopefully now behind us.<\/p>\n
As you\u2019ll see from the selection of goodies featured in this First Look Friday<\/a>, we\u2019re looking forward to warmer temperatures, so we can pack our bikes up with snacks and kit and head into the hills for a long day, or perhaps quite a few long days in a row\u2026<\/p>\n But before that, did you catch what we got up to on BikeRadar this week?<\/p>\n There were a plethora of flat-pedal reviews for our mountain bikers, including the Hope F20<\/a>, legendary DMR V12<\/a> and Nukeproof\u2019s Neutron EVO<\/a>. We also tested the Giro Latch flat-pedal shoes<\/a> \u2013 perhaps the perfect accompaniment?<\/p>\n On another note, have you ever thought, \u2018I know, carbon fibres in my sealant would be a great idea!\u2019? No, us neither. But Silca did, and so the brand has released a tubeless sealant with carbon fibre<\/a> infused into the mix. What a world we live in.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re befuddled by electronic groupsets<\/a>, we brought you a full-length guide to all of the key offerings from Shimano, SRAM and Campagnolo. And, as a bonus, Jack Luke has been scratching his head and has come up with the five things he\u2019d like to see from Shimano<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n Continuing this theme, our BikeRadar Podcast for the week was one of our Tech Q&As, where our listeners send in their tech-based queries, and our senior technical editors Rob Weaver and Warren Rossiter wade in with their guidance.<\/p>\n Have a listen below, or via your favourite podcast provider.<\/p>\n
