A Guide For Buying Gifts For Yourself At Christmas
It’s December, the Christmas bells are still faintly ringing from last year, Trump is back in the Whitehouse and the Range has their Christmas decorations out.
For most of us, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas shopping for our loved ones, but most importantly for ourselves. Because we deserve it, it’s been a long year.
In the article, we’ve put together a list of Christmas presents and Christmas gift ideas to get the most important person this year. You.
Burgtec
Let start of our list with some shiny stuff from Burgtec. Available in a wide variety of bright Christmas colours. They’re well known for their outstanding quality and functionality.
Our top picks for this year are the Burgtec Penthouse Flat MK5 B-Rage Edition Pedals.
Based on the insanely popular Penthouse MK5 pedals these have been designed in conjunction with Freerider nutter Brage Vestavik, they feature a larger pedal body and central pins to increase grip when tearing up corners like a wrecking ball.
Hopetech
Hope have released some cool new stuff recently, our pick are the new tubeless valves, made by Yorkshiremen in Yorkshire. They’re a great option if you need to sneak something small past your family.
Our picks:
-
Hope Gravity Stem. Best served in silver.
PNW
PNW’s Loam series is a popular selection at Biketart. Our pick for this year is the limited-edition PNW Components Loam Dropper Seatpost Ltd Edition Silver. We still have some in stock and you will stand out from the crowd, shining like a star below your bottom.
Our Picks:
Hoodies If you’re anything like us you’ll be riding in a hoodie until at least March. These are a great way to buy Bike stuff while camouflaging it with normal gifts.
Our Picks:
Cleaning stuff. If you get out and ride your bike over Christmas, it’s going to get mucky.
If you jet wash your bike stop, you know who you are. Get yourself some cleaner, stand and be gentle to your love. Don’t forget to dry it up and lube the chain before you put it back in the shed.
Our top pick is the Peaty's Bicycle Brush - Set, we especially like the bog brush.
Our picks:
Finally suspension servicing. When it’s wet and muddy are you’re coated in muck you can be certain it’s inside too, if you let your seals clog up with grit, your suspension will not be grateful.
We’d recommend checking your calendar, having a look at how much you’ve gone past the service intervals and getting it booked in for a lower leg or air can service here at Biketart.
If it’s been more than a year, we’d recommend sending it off to Fox or Rockshox for a full service
