Plus the pick of this week’s news and reviews <\/p>
Hurrah! We\u2019ve made it through February and rolled into March. In the Northern Hemisphere at least, the unrelenting march of time brings us yet closer to spring and summer \u2013 and hopefully some drier weather.<\/p>
What\u2019s also unrelenting is the procession of shiny new bike-related items to land in our hands at BikeRadar, some of which are featured below.<\/p>
But first, in yet another display of unrelentingness, is a quick round-up of what\u2019s been happening on BikeRadar this week.<\/p>
It\u2019s been a quiet week when it comes to launches, although we learnt about the new Norco Optic and Sight<\/a>. Norco briefly disappeared from the UK market, so we\u2019re stoked to see the brand back on our shores \u2013 the new bikes look chef’s kiss<\/em>.<\/p> Elsewhere, we rounded out our trail wheelset reviews with the Reserve 30|HD 6069 alloy wheels<\/a> and then presented you with our list of the best mountain bike wheels<\/a> on the market.<\/p> Every day is a school day and so if you\u2019re in the mood for a little maintenance lesson, why not check out our guide to using a torque wrench<\/a>, as well as an informative piece on strength training for cyclists<\/a>.<\/p> If you like your bikes a little different and your adventures, er, adventurous, why not check out Lael Wilcox’s Alaskan ultra setup<\/a>.<\/p>
