By the time we’d got around to ploughing through hundreds of your product reviews to find the good ones up to 20 October to give prizes to, it was the wrong side of 20 November. So we did both at once. What we’re at here is awarding stuff generously donated by USE to reviews that stand out for objectivity, thoroughness and just being plain useful…

The October ones first, then. Top prize of a USE Shokpost, baseball hat and Ring-O-Star headset preloading gizmo goes to Tim B (Cotic Soul). Runners-up prizes of hats and Ring-O-Stars go to Andy Allsopp (Kryptonite Kryptoflex cable), Paul Cooper (MET Parachute helmet) and Matthew Smith (Egg Beater pedals).

November’s top winner was Jez Hancock for his review of Ortlieb panniers. And the runners up were Patrick Napier (Madison Shields), Horace Fogsworth (Cateye lights) and Neil Wragg (BLT lights).

Congratulations to all of you, and for everyone else – keep the reviews coming, there’ll be more prizes next month…
