BRIT BITS: Works Components – Angleset Headsets

There aren’t that many companies producing these angle changing headsets, so it’s great to think we have one over here in Blighty, that being Works Components in Cannock, West Midlands.

I used the 1.5 degree changer to steepen my head angle when converting the GT from 26″ to 27.5″ and it worked a treat, plus unlike other angleset manufacturers, the bearings in mine are still running smooth as silk.

BRIT BITS: Charge Scoop Saddle Tested

After the success of the Knife saddle, Charge have brought out this, their new model called the Scoop, sent to me as part of my future Brit Build bike feature. They come in a variety of colours and are mega comfy, with their unique style and design, optimising the thin, one-piece flexible plastic/nylon base. The hollow titanium (chromo railed version also available) rails are the only piece of the seat base not welded together, very nifty indeed!

Renthal, coming from Manchester in the heart of England are known for their quality products, but not only are they quality, they also have that unique bling look about them, these Fatbar Lite bars, Lock-on grips and gorgeous looking Duo stem are of no exception.

They have been ridden hard, raced, thrashed and crashed and still look and perform the same as new.
