Santa Cruz's new Vala looks 🔥 in the flesh.⁠
We think it's pretty refreshing to see a non-VPP bike from the legendary brand - it's pretty brave to do an about-face on such a long held design principle. What do you think?⁠

Here's one that slipped through our net this summer - custom built Fray with Dura Ace build kit. How are people feeling about the Reserve 42/49 wheels on an Enve build??

Big news:
We are now a We Are One Composites dealer.
We Are One are a Kamloops-based carbon wheel manufacturer, owned by ex world cup downhill racer Dustin Adams. We Are One rims are literally hand-laid in Kamloops, making this a true made-in-Canada product, and we're stoked about that.

Get their newest Convergence series Triad wheelset, in stock now, shipping Canada-Wide at the link below, or contact us to special order wheels to your own spec.

We added another trail day to our calendar!
Building community and creating safe spaces for our local cycling community is important to us, so on November 10 we're holding a WTNB+ (women, trans, non-binary) trail day so the women+ community can come together and make their mark on the trails.

Last year's WTNB+ trail day was a huge success, so we're stoked to see how many folk we can get out again. Come give back to the trails in a safe and inclusive space this November - sign up through the link below:

The toughest thing about working in a bike shop is not being able to take every bike home with you... Thankfully this custom built Cervélo 5 is headed out to its new owner. Enjoy!

Instinct Powerplay SL:
Lightweight, lively ride, packed with power 💪

Beyond the Grid - Alex Volokhov explores his backyard on the all-new Instinct Powerplay SL Alex Volokhov has no problem going against the grain. His home near Nelson, BC, is entirely powered by solar panels, his heating, a modest wood-burning stove...

🚨 NEW BIKE ALERT 🚨
Rocky Mountain just dropped their first lightweight mid-power EMTB - the Instinct Powerplay SL.
Rocking 29" wheels with 145/150mm travel and weighing as little as 43lbs, the Instinct Powerplay SL combines light weight with an agile personality to make it the ultimate mid-power trail emtb.

Pushing out 550W peak power and 65Nm of torque, powered by a 480Wh battery, it might be small, but it sure is mighty.

New Bike Day:
Rocky Mountain Element
The Element is Rocky Mountain's XC bike, with an ace up its sleeve.
Light weight, efficient suspension, and long and slack geometry make the Element a force to be reckoned with on technical terrain.

120/130mm travel, 26lb weight, 29" wheels and a 65º head tube angle all add up to put the Element at the top of its class.

We're closed tomorrow - happy Turkey Day folks!

There's something special about this time of year. The smells of the forest, the fog lingering in the air, we love it. Anyone else?

Team work makes the dream work!
That concludes our public trail days for the year - huge thanks to all those that showed up and helped out, your hard work doesn't go unnoticed, and riders will be appreciating the incredible trail conditions all winter long, no doubt!
As usual, huge thank you to the for all that they do, and to for supporting our trail day efforts year after year. We're stoked to have such an amazing crew to make these things happen and do our part for the North Shore trails.

Our final public trail day of the year is this coming Sunday! It really crept up on us, so come help move some dirt on one of our favourite trails, Pennzoil on Mt Fromme, before winter sets in. Weather looks to be primo for trail building with sun following rain for soft dirt and enjoyable temps. Love it! 🤌

Meet time is 10am at the Pennzoil trail exit onto Braemar Rd, with food and drink coming at 2pm, but feel free to show up late and hike up to find us. Tools will be supplied but bring your own gloves and appropriate clothing and footwear. Please fill in the sign-up form (link below) if you intend to come so we can bring enough tools and pizza for all!

Cheers and see you there!

It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation - this looks different for everyone, and we feel like we're learning and doing better each year. If you're not sure what Truth and Reconciliation means, or what to do, start by learning about your local First Nations communities, reading the 94 calls to action (link below), or donating to a charity like Indigenous Women Outoors.

We'd like to acknowledge the unceded territories of the local Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations upon who's lands we live and recreate. We hope to continue to learn and diversify, while honoring the tragic history of the local First Nations peoples.

It's Stigmata Saturday. Would you shred a pink Stig?

The MAX 40 wheelset by CADEX uses integrated carbon spokes and hub shell for incredible stiffness to weight, and huge aero gains. At 1249g for the pair, these things are crazy light, and just about the highest spec wheels you can get for the money. If you've got the need for speed, it doesn't get much better than this.
