Fluid has move into the hydration-only market with their new Performance sports drink. The original Fluid formula was a recovery drink with protein and glutamine that we reviewed positively a couple years ago, but is light enough to use during. The new version is a mix of Maltodextrin and Fructose with electrolytes. Three flavors: Blueberry Pomegranate, Raspberry Lemonade and Passionfruit Tea. The last one has 50mg caffeine per serving. MSRP will be $22.95 for 30 servings.

The Rim ‘Rench is an $18 tool that straightens small dents in your rims. It’s from a small machinist who also makes the T/R ale tool (get it, trail tool) that combines a tire lever, rotor straightener and bottle opener for $16. (will update with the mfr’s name later)

Kenda has a new tire from their Tinker Juarez signature series called the 24seven. It’s a low profile full knob design that’ll be available in both 26″ and 29er sizes. Target weight is around 450g, but it’s still about six months out, so that could change.

Kriterium Endurance is a new all purpose tire for training or touring. full flat protection, available in a 23 and 25 width. 60tpi casing.

Tools look like they’re from Morningstar.

Tried the new fluid flavors and loved them. There is really nothing else out there that tastes so unique and light at the same time. I have a feeling that it will change the way cycling sports drinks are made in the future.

The 24/7 looks very similar to a Conti Race King.

AJ,

From the pic (and the naming convention) you can see that the Karve is a Kenda tire.
