Salsa Fliplock:
All high-end trail bikes really should come stock with Salsa's Fliplock QR seatpost binder. The sad truth, however, is that none do. The cost of the Fliplock is a small price to pay for stylish, high-quality saddle height adjustment. The price looks even better when you drop your saddle height for a steep, technical descent, your buddies don't because they can't, and you get to watch them go tumbling sloppily over their bars. Ha! Ha! Cheap bastards.

Cycling Computers:
Computers are neat little units that tell you how far you've gone, how long you've been riding, how fast you're going, and, most importantly, the absolutely insane maximum speed you've obtained. Great training tools, and fun for just tracking your riding time, computers come in basic models and fully accessorized wireless versions that show cadence and make the morning coffee.

Burger Bell:
Sure, bells are pretty cool just because they're bells – but when a bell looks like a tasty burger the coolness factor goes up, and it goes up bigtime. It's a turkey burger! It's a veggie burger! It's a garden burger! Who the heck cares what kind of a burger it is! The dang thing looks like a burger, for gosh sakes! We get hungry just ringing them. For those folks trying to lose weight we also have bells that look like other things besides delicious burgers. Mmmm….

Planet Bike Bright Spot Light:
Riding safely after dusk requires lights front and rear. The red rear flashers have been popular for years – they're visible and the batteries just last and last. The Bright Spot front light is a Lexus-like blue-ish white flasher for the front that works great if one rides where the streets are relatively well lit and a battery-efficient front flasher can be used instead of a beam. Great for being seen, easy to fit in a pocket, and cute as a button.

Crank Bros. Power Pump:
This little pump from Crank Bros. packs a wallop. Put it on one setting to fill the majority of a tire, and when the going gets tough, and those wimpy little cycling arms start screaming in pain, just chuckle a wimpy little cyclist's chuckle and change the pump's setting to add the last 20 psi. If you don't tell folks about the clever little switch they'll be fooled into thinking that you're actually strong. Real handy for getting dates. |

Michelin Axial Pro Race Tire:
The original Axial Pro tire is an all time favorite around here. For a high performance tire that sticks like glue, the Axial Pro wears surprisingly well. Now along comes the Axial Pro Race – pretty similar to the Axial Pro, but a wee bit lighter, and available in a baby blue & black combo that goes great with our team kits. Did someone say baby blue & black? That's good enough for us!

ODI Lock On Grip:
Getting tired of your grips slipping off, screaming maniacally as you lose control of your bike, and careening off the trail into a deep gorge filled with snakes, goblins & poison oak? Yup, it gets old pretty quick. Bolt a set of Lock On grips in place and have full control when you go careening off the trail into that deep gorge so you can at least steer clear of those pesky goblins. |

Topeak Alien Tool:
Compact tool kits are designed to be easily carried along for the ride. In the event that a repair needs to take place on the road or trail it may just be surprising how good the compact tools have gotten over the last few years. We'll always choose real tools over a compact kit, but sometimes there's no such choice. If a chain breaks thirty miles in the back country, we'll certainly choose a quality compact tool over a night in a lean-to, eating tree moss and trying to stay warm spooning a friend somewhere in the woods. |
