Giro is branching out with their new Loam knee and elbow sleeves, expanding their use of D3O padding beyond gloves. The new sleeves pack a lot of features to keep your joints safe and scuff-free, and they come in a huge range of sizes.The padding is D3Os XTI impact-absorbing material, which is soft and flexible when youre just pedaling along, but hardens instantly when it hits something to diffuse impact forces. Giro specs the Trivent version, which has slots in it to improve both breathability and flexibility, and its a custom 8mm thickness for both the Loam knee sleeve and Loam elbow sleeve.The pad is covered by Ax Suede stretch microfiber so it wont get chewed up as you hit rocks, roots, etc.The rest of the sleeve combines a highly breathable lightweight mesh back panel with an Italian-made stretch woven material. Its then given a CAP armor print, a ceramic material printed in a grid pattern over the sleeve that helps it slide over the terrain rather than snagging and tearing.Not only does this protect the material, Giro says it also helps keep you from getting caught up, helping smooth impacts just a bit more.They mostly use Giros Renew Series materials, which contain at least 50% recycled material. The knee pads come in six sizes from XS to XXL and run $119.95. Theres also a burlier version called Lobo thats coming soon and uses a thicker, removable 11mm D3O LP1 pad.The arm sleeves also have six sizes and run $89.95. Both are unisex, and theyre available now direct and through retailers.Giro.comThe post Giro Adds Joint Protection w/ New Loam Pads appeared first on Bikerumor.

Whoaits been seven years since the Wolf Tooth Components GnarWolf chain guides debuted, so it was about time for an updateor was it?The original introduced a shim-free chainline adjustment, using a simple ovalized locking collet that let you fine-tune the guides position over your chain. It accommodates chain lines from 45-51mm.And the ISCG-05 version used a simple one-bolt height adjustment to fit chainrings from 28 to 34 teeth.The new GnarWolf V2 does all those things, but simplifies the design of the guide (and adds a couple of holes to give mud and crud more exit points) and adds four color options yellow, orange, blue, and purple. Or stick with classic black.Theyve also dropped the price by $15, now just $49.95 for the ISCG-05 model in all black. Additional/color guides are $4.95.The braze-on mount has the same color choices and is also $49.95. It mounts to any standard front-derailleur braze-on mount and has three bolt holes to fit chainrings from 28 to 34 teeth, too.WolfToothComponents.comThe post Wolf Tooth GnarWolf V2 Chain Guides Add Colors, Drop Price appeared first on Bikerumor.
