Morning Ride in Kalamunda.

A couple of us went for an early morning ride in Kalamunda on Tuesday. Parking at the Camel Farm, we took off down Camikazi, headed out to the Dell, crossed the road and made our way up Rocky Balboa, down Mercury Street, back up Rocky Balboa and out to Muffin Tops, Black Stump and Horny Devil. It was only 20kms of riding but it packed a fair bit of fun singletrack into those 20k’s.

Here is a few videos from the morning.

The run down Camikazi.

Garmin Edge 200 Review

Time to start the New Year off with a bang. I’m sure  you’ve noticed a ton of riders on the road. Some of us are trying to stick to New Years resolutions, and what better way to track your progress than with a brand new Garmin GPS computer. This Edge 200 is the little brother of the Edge 500 and Edge 800, but it still has a heap of really useful cycling features. The guys at Cycling Tips have written a comprehensive review of the Edge 200 and it can be found here. You’ll also find links to reviews of the 500 and 800 at the bottom of the review.

We’ve got them in stock and the best bit is the price. $149. Bargain.

We’re Cheaper than the Internet!

That’s right. It has come to our attention that some of the items we stock are cheaper than supposed ‘sale’ prices advertised through some web shops. We aren’t going to trawl the Internet and find every example of an item we’re more competitive on. What we want people to know is that those deals you see on the Internet may not be as red hot as you think.

Over the past couple of years we’ve worked to keep in stock lot of the ‘bling’ that you previously only found online. If there’s something you need, then call or email us to find if we’ve got it and what our price is. If you’ve seen it cheaper then give us a chance to match it. We’re dealers for Hope Technology, Garmin, Look, Shimano, SRAM, and a whole host other companies that make awesome bicycle parts and accessories.

Right now you’ll find that our Chris King headsets starts at $175, the Garmin Edge 200 is $149, Our XT brake sets are $300 (for the pair + rotors), and our Look Keo Max 2 Carbon pedals are $170. Good luck finding them cheaper elsewhere.

A bit of Yeti history.

This is a great video about the relationship between Yeti and one of their first dealers. I used one of WRC’s demo Yeti 575′s whilst in Golden and they’re were a really great shop.

Yeti 2012 Preview.

If the sales boys can remember this spiel, we’ll be sweet. 2012 is going to be a huge year for us and Yeti. We’ve already built a couple of SB-66′s for customers and have a bunch more on order.

Yeti Factory Tour: Golden, Colorado

I drove to Golden in Colorado to view the Yeti Cycles headquarters. Everybody was so friendly and I got to meet heaps of the staff as I made my way through the facility. I was a bit late for the lunch ride, which Jared Graves and the other Aussie downhillers had headed out on right before i arrived. The sales guys even shouted me a beer in the sales office. Just so everybody knows, the SB66 looks great in the flesh and that they were being assembled right now. I got to watch the SB66 linkage get pulled apart and I can report that it looks very user friendly, and low maintenance.

Specialized 2012 dealer event. Day Zero.

Before the dealer event began we were invited to have a tour of Specialized’s Headquarters in Morgan Hill, California. The place is amazing. They have an awesome museum containing some of the bikes that have been used in some of Specialized’s greatest racing moments.
