MTB tyre of the month

Wednesday, 23 September 2009 13:32

A fast tire that performs well on a variety of terrain, Bontrager's XDX uses small, closely spaced, well supported knobs to deliver superb traction in loose or dry conditions. Siping on the outer knobs improves traction on wet, slick surfaces, and Tubeless Ready technology lets you enjoy all the advantages of tubeless while saving nearly 100 grams per wheel. Front or rear use.

The Livestrong special edition Ionos

Wednesday, 23 September 2009 15:52

Ionos is the most ventilated and technologically advanced road cycling helmet Giro has ever created. Our proprietary in-mold composite sub-frame (I.C.S.™) provides the strength to support 21 of the largest vents ever carved into a helmet. These massive vents, coupled with an intricate network of internal channels, create a cooling system we call Wind Tunnel™ ventilation, making Ionos the coolest, best-ventilated helmet available. Perfect for keeping Grand Tour champions like Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador cool on the hottest days and over the most tortuous Alpine climbs.

With top-quality uppers and a lightweight and efficient Silver-series carbon outsole, the RL packs the performance punch of its big sister RXL, but without the premium price tag. And since we use the same overall construction techniques as found on the RXL, the RL brings an unprecedented level of comfort to this category of shoe. With so much performance and comfort, you'll never miss what's missing

Bontrager RL Mountain shoe

Wednesday, 23 September 2009 13:16

For most trail riders, riding in comfort and style trumps a need for the lightest this and the stiffest that. That's why we build the RL Mountain shoe to be more about epic adventures than all-out speed. Sure the RL Mountain keeps weight to a minimum, and pedaling efficiency is a must, but the RL is focused all-day comfort and all-day support for all day on the mountain.

Doing Sani or Epic?

...or just looking for a more efficient bike you should be on one of these!

SuperFly 100 - Carbon Smoke / Gloss White

The Superfly 100 is not only Gary Fisher's lightest 29er to date; it's also the company's lightest-ever mountain bike frame period.

The cross-country 29er full-suspension race bike finally comes of age.

Gary Fisher's new Superfly 100 debunks nearly every possible argument put forth against 29"-wheeled dual-suspension race bikes: it's light, it's stiff, it handles brilliantly, and most importantly, it's brutally fast.

Blackburn’s New Baby , The Flea !!

What an awsome product , i had the pleasure of using these lights during a few of my early morning and late night sessions , the front light is what impressed me most of all. It was pitch black at Giba Gorge and we were doing our night ride, the light was as bright if not brighter than my monster light with the monster battery that has to drive it., the other big benefit is that the lights can both be charged off a normal AA , AAA battery , it come with a little device that connects to your light and plugs right onto the battery , come into one of our stores and check it out , you will never buy another light !

This Towbar mounted bike rack is ideal for the quick transportation of your bike.

It fits all towbars so simply with a one-click system (literally 2 seconds - and the rack is attached). It also has a fold up system for when you want to pack it away.
