We like simple things, and Mr. Tuffy tire liner tube protectors must be one of the simplest, but very effective bike inventions ever. Not much to say here really - simply stick the polyurethane tire liner strips between your tire and tube and then ride over glass and tacks to your heart's content. Well, not really, but it is amazing how well these little liners protect your tube from punctures.
This email just came into us from Erick Dickson, and it's definitely worth posting here to get the word out:
If you haven't registered yet for the 3rd Annual Bike to Work Day Winnipeg,
then please register now!
You can pick from relatively short weekday events to longer, more technical Cup races to 24 Hour epic rides. Most, if not all, races are put on by local volunteer coordinators who simply hope to break even after the bills are paid while still putting on quality events that are fun for all.
We love the way this bike rides. The steel frame and fork feel great on our potted roads (well, as good as any bike can feel anyway), the slightly relaxed geometry feels, well, slightly relaxed without sacrificing too much agility, and the mildly swept back flat bars are a perfect match to the rest of the set up.
Finally, we love the aesthetics. The curved top tube / seat stays are gorgeous, the cork grips are a really nice touch, and the colour choices are perfect. Just one left though, so act fast if it's the right size and you're in the market for a commuter.
Fortunately there's a very simple and inexpensive solution: Finish Line Fiber grip can be applied to carbon components to add that bit of friction that's required to prevent slipping without over-tightening, all without corroding or otherwise damaging your expensive carbon bits. It's $12 well spent and we've got plenty in stock.
Steve's excellent guide to riding across the country can be found here, or visit the shop to purchase his book.
We've featured this product here once before but we have another one in stock and figured it's worth featuring again: The Trek Tandem Cruiser.
If you're looking to experiene the joys of tandem riding with your partner or friend this is the machine that allows you to do it in casual style at a very reasonable price. For just $850 (a bargain basement price in the tandem world) this bike can be yours, less the Pooh Bear.
If you're thinking of commuting to work or school by bike, or if you just want to use your bike for errand runs and other general purpose activities, there's nothing better than having a good set of pannier bags to help carry your load. Most bikes easily accommodate a rear rack (and we have plenty of them in stock) and that's usually all that's required to fit a set of pannier bags.
Are you looking to build up a beautiful steel 29er single speed, but don't know where to start? Well we've done all the work for you!...come check out this Niner S.I.R. that we've built up with some choice parts. If it's not to your liking we can switch parts out as you see fit.
The bike as pictured is $1900.
