NOVEMBER 20th, 2008 We got in fixed gear track bikes from KHS today. They come stock with flip-flop hubs so you can run a freewheel if thats your preference.
NOVEMBER 18th, 2008 We recieved the new Dirt Rag today. There's lots of photos from Interbike if you want to see what new products will be coming out next year.
There's also a write up about Rays MTB Park. I made the road trip to Clevland this weekend and couldn't leave the pump track that you see in the picture below. It was one of the funest things I've ever ridden.
Here's the step-up hip at Rays. Schedule a trip here asap, it's a great place to escape the cold winter that just arrived.
NOVEMBER 12th, 2008 We got gu back in today. Five flavors to pick from... tri-berry, strawberry banana, chocolate, vanilla bean, and plain.
We also received Gu's new product, Rocatane energy gel. I haven't used this yet, but it is supposed to be the best out there.
This is a tire that needs no introduction, the Kenda Nevegal has been voted best tread pattern numerous times and it's hard to find someone write a bad review of this tire. With all the rain we've got coming it might be time to give this tire a try.
Here's some colored chains we received today from KMC, they'll give your bike a new look and they're only ten bucks.
NOVEMBER 11th, 2008 The trails are going to be getting muddy in some spots during the next couple months. This mud can make it's way inside your cables and cause your shifting to not work very well. When you shift one way it'll get hard to push the lever and when you shift back, the cable won't move freely and let the deraillure go back to it's position. Here's a product from SRAM that will save you from a lot of headaches. It's the Pitstop Flak Jacket kit. There are two kinds, one for derailure and one for brake cables. Each kit comes with enough to do both brakes(mechanical disc also) or both shifters. This cable set will keep your mtb bike shifting smooth all winter long and get your cross bike through those muddy races.
Here you can see where the mud can enter your housing and clog it. The mud dries and creates a lot of friction.
Here's the SRAM housing with the special ferrules, this allows for the entire cable to be closed.
The red housing closes the system and keeps your cables moving freely, mud free!
This will work for all the breaks in your housing!
NOVEMBER 6th, 2008 We've been lucky with the weather so far, but the trainers will have to be pulled out of the closet sooner or later. We're carrying the Kinetic by Kurt trainers. They come with a lifetime warranty!

Last up for new product is this tool from Surly. The Jethro Tule has a 15mm wrench on one side and a bottle opener on the other. What else could you ask for?
OCTOBER 17th, 2008 Cooler weather is here finally. It's always a shock the first time you see can your breath in the morning, makes you realize winter is right around the corner. Here's a new commuter bike from KHS complete with fenders and a rear rack. The best part of the Urban X is a toss-up between the brooks style seat and the matte finish on the frame and fenders.
We got restocked on our Sport Beans and Clif Bars
