Getting fit to your bike ensures you get the most out of your body & bike. With a properly fit bike you will have more comfort, control & performance. Professional fitting is very affordable & the best way to improve your ride.
Tuning your suspension
Come see our staff for a suspension evaluation & we’ll help you dial it in to your riding style so you get the most out of your suspension & your next ride.
Replace your shift cables & housing
Replacing worn cables & housing will make your shifting faster smoother so you never miss another shift. If you ride regularly cables & housing should be replaced every 6 months for maximum shifting performance.
Get the right tires for your riding style
No one tire works for all riding conditions & riding styles, getting the best tire for your riding needs means you’ll have more traction, control & fun. Ask our staff for recommendations on the perfect tire for your riding style & have a better ride.
Padded Cycling shorts
Padded cycling shorts are the best way to bring comfort back to your next ride.
The Right Seat
Bike seats are like shoes, there are many styles and shapes for different body types and riding styles so consult our experienced staff about what seat will work best for you. The right seat gives proper support for a comfortable ride.
Cycling Jersey
Stay comfortable & cool on your next ride with moisture wicking/breathable fabrics used in cycling jerseys. Jerseys are available in many styles and fits so you can have a casual style with a loose fit or go more race fit. Save the T-shirt for chilling at the café post ride.
Wheels
Gain speed, strength and reliability with a new set of wheels. Lighter wheels accelerate faster and if you destroy XC wheels then new all mountain wheels like the Easton Haven will be your wheel of choice.
Tools
Don’t let the ride come to an end because of a loose bolt or flat tire. Having the basic tools with you on the trails is a smart call anytime you ride. The basics should include Tube, pump, allen keys & tire levers.
Cycling Gloves
Your hands are a major contact point with the bike & wearing gloves is a smart way to improve comfort, reduce hand/finger numbness & protect your palms if you crash
