New Arrival: 2007 Shimano Dura-Ace Pedals

Shimano has introduced some big changes to their pedals for 2007. We've had the Ultegra model for a few months now but we finally got a hold of the flagship Dura-Ace model. The new pedals feature an extra-wide platform that reduces lateral rocking for a solid shoe-pedal interface. This allows for better power transfer and a more stable platform. The stainless steel body cover reduces wear compared to the previous styles plastic insert. The Dura-Ace pedals feature a silky smooth 3-bearing axle and adjustable release tension. The pedal/cleat system come in at a svelte 348 grams creating a very light, durable package. Quantities are limited so grab your set while supplies last.

Rumors have been flying about Trek's line of 69er bikes for 2008. Well, here's a pic I stole from cycling news of the new Top Fuel 69er. If you want to learn more about this new line, come on by and take are 69er singlespeed for a test spin.

New Arrival: Ergon Performance Grips

There has been quite a bit of talk on the mountain bike scene this season about Ergon Performance grips. The ergonomic design is said to relieve hand numbness by allowing more weight distribution on the bar. All styles use a "lock-on" style attachment which removes any chance of grip rotation. Multiple styles are available, with or without integrated bar ends. Swing in and check them out.

Best of Both Worlds

Come check out the newest addition to the shop. The Trek 69er singlespeed just rolled through the door and let me tell you, it was quick to impress. Upon first glance you may say "Hey! That front wheel is bigger than the rear wheel!" Then we'd say "Hey! You're right!" The 69er pairs the high momentum rollover ability of a 29er front wheel with the aggressive acceleration power of a 26 inch rear. We were amazed at this bike's get-up-and-go, not to mention its handling at high speeds. Trek went one step further by adding a fully adjustable Maverick custom double crown fork, which is sure to catch the eye and hearts of XC and DH riders alike. Add to it a sweet Race X Lite wheel set and matching brown Race Lite saddle and you've got yourself one mean off-road machine. So next time you're in the area swing on in and see this cool new addition to the shop, and one of the few 69er's to be released on the market so far.
