First Look Friday is an introduction to the gear that we are currently testing for review. This week we’ve got Corse’s Dopamine rims and hubs, the Garmin eTrex Touch 35, and Sexy Socks.<\/p>\n

Corse Dopamine hubs and rims<\/h2>\n

Corse Components specialize in the design and manufacture of high-end carbon and alloy cycling components.<\/p>\n

\"Corse<\/a><\/p>\n

The hubs are available in both boost and regular, front and rear, with your choice of driver body and end cap configuration. The hubs feature a traditional four pawl, 36 point engagement system. Standard size Enduro bearings are used throughout.<\/p>\n

Both hubs and rims are offered in 32 hole only. Corse Components claim this is due to the inherent strength achieved with a 32 hole, two or three cross lacing pattern, further catering to product reliability.<\/p>\n

\"Corse<\/a><\/p>\n

The Corse Dopamine carbon rims have an internal width of 34 mm placing them just outside plus size. Corse Components say that these rims combine ideally with a 2.4″ tyre, with anything narrower risking a squared edge. Corse rate them for marathon, trail, and all mountain riding.<\/p>\n

The claimed weight on the 27.5″ rim is pegged at 455g and 495g for the 29er. Complete 29er wheelsets with boost hubs, come in at the 1760g mark. The retail price per rim is R 7 695,00.<\/p>\n

The eTrex Touch 35 sports a bright 2.6″ colour touch screen, a barometric altimeter, and a 3-axis compass. The device is rugged, IPX7 water-rated, and has a scratch-resistant screen. The battery life is a claimed 16-hours with replaceable standard AA batteries for flexibility on your journey.<\/p>\n

The eTrex Touch 35 retails for R 4 899.00.<\/p>\n

Sexy Socks<\/h2>\n

Sexy Socks recently launched their cycling range<\/a>. When you buy a pair of Sexy Socks, you’re not just buying socks for yourself. For every pair of Sexy Socks sold, a pair is given to a child in need.<\/p>\n

\"Sexy<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sexy Socks cycling range retails for R149 on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
