What We Have Noticed: Zipp, Stayfill, Panache …
This week we noticed the Zipp Service Course components, the Stayfill cartridge, the Panache Dolce kit, the new Speedfil hydration system and the Injinji toesocks.
Zipp Service Course SL stem
What: In Pro cycling Service Course usually refers to the base of a professional cycling team and for Zipp that name now stands for a new line of bars, stems and seatposts. Most items in the new Service Course lineup come in standard and SL with the latter featuring more detailed work and lighter hardware. A fine example is the Service Course SL stem featured here and wouldn't it be a nice match for your Zipp wheels?
Weight: 120 gram (100mm)
Sizes: 70-130mm / +/- 6 and +/- 17
MSRP: $100

Stayfill
What: CO2 cartridges are quite convenient but they do not keep your tires fully inflated very long. Stayfill uses larger molecules and according to their site that keeps your tires inflated 100x longer than CO2. Plus Stayfill is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-ozone depleting.
MSRP: $29.95 (starter set)

Panache Dolce
What: The Panche Cyclewear Dolce kits feature the unique design of that brand and will allow you to no longer feel like a sheep on your next ride, but more so like the wolf who every other sheep is keeping an eye out for. This editor's favorite is the Houndstooth Green featured here and is already on the Christmas wish list.

Sizes: S-XXL
