Annual Bicycle Maintenance is Worth the Money

2012-01-11T17:36:00.002-05:00

There are many reasons why you should get annual bike maintenance. A professional inspection of your bike can reveal safety and performance issues. This list reveals the most important reasons why annual bicycle maintenance is one expense you shouldn't skip.

Enjoyment - Riding a bike is fun. Riding a poorly maintained bike is less fun. Unsatisfactory (or unsafe) braking and shifting performance, untrue wheels, and other issues can really kill the fun.

Safety - Fact: bikes regularly inspected and tuned have a lower likelihood of chronic failure which could cause serious injury or death. Worn or corroded cables can break, and worn brake pads won't stop in an emergency. A quality bicycle repair shop will make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened to the proper spec and everything performs as it should.

Longevity - I can't find the original source, but there's a statistic that states something along the lines of bikes available from mass-merchant retailers last an average of 2 years while bikes from specialty retailers last an average of 15 years. The point here: bikes aren't disposable toys. Quality bikes will last longer. Even if you plan to do nothing more than ride around your neighborhood, you should steer clear of bikes from big-box stores. Most of these bikes are lower quality brands or models, and many aren't assembled properly to begin with. Yes, a $300 bike from a bike shop is (at least) twice as good as a $150 bike from Target. While quality is a factor, I think maintenance plays into the longevity statistic. People who pay more for a quality bike are more likely to invest in keeping it running properly.

Save money - Good bike mechanics can find and fix little problems before they become expensive to repair. For example, bearings in the headset (steering), wheels (hubs), or crank (bottom bracket) could damage a bike beyond repair or will need expensive replacement if ridden extensively when loose or contaminated.

Reliability - For those of you who ride your bikes longer distances, reliability is important. This is especially true if you rely on your bike for transportation. Bikes regularly inspected and tuned are less likely to leave the rider stranded on the side of the road.

Resale value - Resale value is often overlooked. Bikes that work well, especially brand-name bikes, have a very high resale value compared to bikes that are inoperable. Inspect your local classified ads or Craigslist and you'll immediately see that used bikes in great shape capture a premium.

A Tune Up for Christmas!

2011-12-21T11:34:00.001-05:00

Are you giving or getting a new bike for Christmas? If you have received or are giving a bike for Christmas that was purchase at a big box store (Wal Mart, Target etc.) , Lets make sure it is tuned to perfection for those first rides. No offense to those retailers, but they just assemble the bikes. They do not tune them very well. If you take the the time to have the bike tuned professionally it will provide years of enjoyment. If you don't, it may not last that long at all. Over the years I have seen many bikes that were simply not set up and tuned correctly to begin with. Those bikes do not ride very well and they do not provide the enjoyment they should. PLUS they wear out very quickly when they should not. Lets take care of those problems before they happen!!

Tune Ups are 15% off December 26th and 27th OR anytime before Christmas!

"The Bontrager wheel took the hit for me! The guy rear ended me at like 40 and that's all that happened. My back and elbows are pretty raw, but I'm all good. I was just riding up the side of the road to the trail head. I guess the guy wasn't paying attention and wanted to share the bike lane," Aaron said jokingly.

We're glad you're ok Aaron!

SRAM sticks with cables and ten-speed as new RED leaked

2011-12-13T13:42:00.001-05:00

SRAM has today released a 37 second introduction to what's speculated to be range-topping version of its RED groupset.

The video offers very little in terms of detail, though if you're hot on hitting pause at intervals, you'll see the XX casstte retains ten sprockets and the shift levers appear slightly revamped over prior designs.

What is also clear is that SRAM remain a fan of cables, while rivals Campagnolo and Shimano are pushing electronic shifting technologies

Bearings trickledown to SRAM X9 trigger shifters

2011-12-13T13:37:00.000-05:00

Previously just XX and XO shifters carried bearings

SRAM has revealed that, as of January 2012, all X9 trigger shifters will be upgraded to host ball bearings.

Previosuly only featured in XX and XO shifters, both ten and nine-speed triggers will benefit from the tech trickledown.

The ball bearing replaces a bushing, resulting in a more solid feel, more precise shifting, and overall higher performance. The change affects all front and rear shifters, all current colours and speeds—2x10, 3x10 and 3x9.
