IceBike is the annual show at which mega-distributor Madison shows off all of its brands under one roof. We've covered highlights from Genesis and Saracen bikes already plus that funky drop bar dropper remote from PRO, and now it's time for a look at everything else that caught our attention.

Park Tool's stand is always a pleasure for workshop nerds and this year was no exception. Following on from those lovely derailleur-friendly screwdrivers we covered last year, the brand has added hex head versions to its range, which are perfect for the latest derailleurs.

These will be particularly useful for the latest derailleurs with hex head limit screws - Matthew Allen / Immediate Media

The clever folks in blue have also created a brand new tool which combines a hydraulic hose cutter with an olive insertion device, which means no more clamping hoses in a vice and hitting them with a hammer. Elsewhere, gravel and adventure riding are on the rise with new finishing kit and luggage from PRO, while tubeless technology gets more and more convenient thanks to setup kits from milKit and puncture repair from Dynaplug.

milKit's clever tubeless inflator system was subject to a recall last year and the brand has now released its completely revised inflator which fixes the problem - Matthew Allen / Immediate Media
