The new Expert Chain Tensioners have landed! Glam shots if you swipe right!
Hitting the website today!
This was a first for me. Customer snapped the steer tube pulling up into a lip. No major injuries thankfully.
Came for the bacon, margaritas, good vibes, and pie. Left without a pie. Next year. If isn’t on your calendar for 2025, it’s an absolute riot hosted by awesome people who do it for fun. 10/10 would recommend.
We’ve been waiting on these for a long time! The R series allows for external adjustments that separate your feet from pedal kickback. The R series is also adjustable so you can use your high engagement hub on the climbs!
Benefits:
😀reduces or eliminates pedal kickback
😀allows your shock to move freely improving suspension performance
😀Reduced riding fatigue
😀a better performing bike that feels smoother and rips faster!
Cons:
😩ballin ain’t cheap
Almost as expensive as the chains the rappers wear, but a lot safer and a lot harder to steal.
This bike has been taking a s**t kicking. Absolutely loving it. The HD6 is most well rounded and lively enduro bike I’ve ever ridden, the Vivid Air is likely my favourite shock of all time, the Maxima brakes work as advertised and are the most powerful brakes I’ve ever ridden and they’re functionally fantastic. The TR37s keep going strong and I haven’t touched them at all in the last year. My one complaint would be the Zeb with the 3.1, it’s only been 2 weeks but I’ve had a damper failure and even with a new damper installed it’s not great in the high speed rough (great everywhere else). I’ll keep playing with set up, and see if I can get it to feel amazing.
Really excited to share what the good people at have cooking tomorrow! Anyway happy trails!
Want to look as good as .siever ??? Well we can get you close! In stock is our new leather patched hat! 35 bones will have you looking good and repping your favourite bike shop.
Up next the Moterra SL1 with some turquoise. 601 watt battery, a full 85 nm of torque, and this one weighed 45 pounds with pedals ready to rip. Is it fun to ride? You betcha! But don’t take our word for it, check out the reviews or better yet come rent one and see for yourself.
Check this out! Exie USA we built up! Built to be down country and holy heck it’s light, fast, and fun! Any guesses as to what it weighs? The closest guess gets a crisp high five!
Wheel build special! Build any set of wheels with us and get 400.00 off when you have us supply parts and build your wheels! We’ve got a great selection of top notch hubs for any price point! We’ve got a selection of the best rims in the business from Stans, WEAREONE, DT Swiss and NOBL.
The upgrades aren’t always expensive. But I’ve been through 2 OEM hangers on this bike in under a month without any big crashes. So while the one costs 48 bucks, it will make riding my bike more enjoyable and problem free. I think they could have designed the UDH to be stronger, but I think it was actually designed to get frames to give the same spacing so they could remove it entirely.
Night rides in this p**s. Let’s go! .lights
The new Zeb, Lyrik, and Vivid coil have landed. Bought a Charger 3.0 product recently? We can upgrade that to the 3.1, have a Super Deluxe coil or air from the previous generation? We can upgrade that. Have a Pike and want the new air spring? We can do that. Really cool update from yesterday
We really should be more active on social media, but I’m more concerned about genuine content and conversations at this point. Which means we’re not making content for the the sake of it. We’ve added two extra staff this year over last. It’s helped us drive an absolutely fantastic level of growth, improved service, a shop that doesn’t look like it’s exploding, quicker turn around, and a overall better experience for literally everyone (suppliers, customers, staff, my mental sanity).
It’s also given us enough capacity to be meeting demand and offer quicker turn around. We’re normally under 2 business days at the moment. Which is great, but I’m also of the opinion that it’s my job to make sure everyone gets to keep their hours consistently for as long as possible. So it’s got me in a mind set of “work hard when it’s busy, work harder when it’s not”. Refining processes, benchmarking our shop against what I consider to be the best bike shops in the world, and planning for the future have all been top priorities. We’re not the shop we were four years ago, or even six months ago. As always thanks for all the support, looking forward to sharing some sweet news soon.
Always fun to have BCPov in the shop. This was an interesting approach to building a bike. Link in bio!
In the worlds of “that new damper is 🤑”
Now in stock for your 36, and 38! Upgrade your fork to arguably the best damper on the market! Live on our website this afternoon.
Pro tip. Only ask your friends if upgrades are worth it if you want to spend money.
Decided to test these out last summer, the original brake pads cooked off quick. The pads have been lasting much longer than the OEM. These brakes are pretty damn sweet.
Pros:
Mineral oil
Modulate really really well
Bite harder and more consistently than a equivalent SRAM or Shimano brake
Fully serviceable
Easy bleed process
The rotors are typically 20-40 bucks less than other brands
Cons:
You’re not going to find these brake pads in every shop
The caliper isn’t a perfect fit on all post mount adapters
You won’t fit in with the cool kids
Early morning ride vibes.
Solid day today at . Tired the pup and I right out. Good people and good times. .ca
Well we’ve finally got one built. We’re officially a dealer! These bikes are the ultimate enduro e-bike. After riding one last September I knew we had to become a dealer. This bike is truly one of the best. Such a well thought through machine. No detail is lacking, and everything has been meticulously thought through. Don’t take my word for it; it’s available as part of our rental program! (Just let Bryn ridewrap this bad boy first) we expect this bike to see a lot of action so we went for a durable build. Reserve alloy wheels, DT350 hubs, Hayes A4 brakes, Onza DH tires, Shimano linkglide and full OneUp cockpit and dropper.
We became a dealer for what’s arguably the best ebike on the market. What parts should we build it with?
Photo dump!
First up the new Cannondale Moterra SL!!! We weighed ours at under 47 pounds! 600wh battery, 85nm of torque and light enough it feels like a mountain bike riding it!
Next up, NOBL TR35s laced to 180 hubs. Also light weight and strong! 1490 grams!
Lastly the new Fox 36 and 38 are both in stock! Come check out the new Grip X2 damper!
There’s something else we got recently, but I forget!
Our newest shop build is here and ready to shred! This Large Ibis HD6 was built to ball on a budget. While it's ready to take big hits, it won't break the bank. Featuring SRAM GX Eagle Groupset, NX cranks, Marzocchi Bomber Z1 coil fork, SRAM Code RSC brakes, and more!
Stop by the shop to throw a leg over it and see if it will be your newest rig, or purchase online to take advantage of this sick custom build!
Have you ever made changes to your bike that make an absolute world of difference? Last nights changes:
1) 51T cassette and a 32T ring instead of the 45T and 30t ring. Way nicer range for me, and I’m using a lot more of the cassette.
2) lighter enduro casing tires from Vitorria. Way faster rolling, grippy, and I took off over a pound of rolling weight including the removed Tannus. Likely I’ll go back to DH casings for the park season just for the extra protection
3) installed the heavier 500lbs spring on the Storia, opened up the damper and what a difference!
I know won’t stop telling me how great his new breaks are…. Anyway, happy shredding!
Taking the day to ride bikes. Back on Saturday for what I’m sure will be a busy day. See you all soon!
So you may or may not know we’re a partner. If you’re in the market for a DH rig this season they’ve got the FRS starting at under 3,901 bucks! Certainly worth a look, and even the Supreme V5 is on sale!
This season seems to have a lot of great deals for consumers and luckily for us we’re in a position to get you those deals!
Finally! If you’ve got yours on back order they might not even be part of this batch! Contact us for 20% off if you order before the end of March!
Really excited to see what Eric can do on a proper DH bike. If you've followed us on social media for awhile Eric was one of the first people to stumble into the shop with his mom wayyy back in November 2020. At the time he was on a Giant Reign and after a quick Smith lap with him nipping at my heels the whole way down I knew he had potential to do well racing. Fast forward a couple of bikes (Banshee Titan, and a Deviate Claymore) and here we are. Stoked to see what the future holds for you Eric, and stoked to be supporting you over the last 3 years and hopefully long enough into the future for you to sign on with some big race team and only see you twice a year when you're back home.
If you’ve got kids and haven’t visited you really should. It’s an inclusive space playground built for kids of all physical and mental abilities. Something I’ve been fortunate to never consider when taking my kids to a park is if they could actually use it. After visiting this park an uncountable number of times with my kids and seeing kids of all abilities it makes me wonder why all kids parks aren’t inclusive by default?
