Components

Drivetrain and Brakes 

Bicycle drivetrain and brake components consist of shifters, gears, chains, deraileurs, brakes and brake levers.  Components are specific to types of bicycles, e.g., road bikes, mountian bikes, hybrid bikes, BMX bikes, tandems, and recumbent bikes, etc.  Higher quality components are lighter, last longer, and ultimately perform better.  Choosing the right parts can dramatically increase your riding enjoyment and help you reach your riding goals.  Whether you are doing a custom build or making repairs to your existing bike, we stock (or can special order) parts on every level of cyclist and have expert mechanics to install and tune them properly.

Brands we carry: Avid, Campagnolo, Cane Creek, Shimano, SRAM, Tektro.

PEDALS

Pedals are one of the most important connections you have to your bike. Your choice of pedals can make a big difference in how you ride and how your bike performs. Pedals mainly fall into two categories: Clipless and Platform. Clipless pedals have a special mechanism that attaches your foot to the pedal using a special cleat mounted to the bottom of your cycling specific shoe. This type of pedal creates a very efficient connection between you and your bike. Platform pedals make stepping off the pedals for balance or maneuvering easy and smooth. They are a great choice for BMX, freeriding, downhill, dirt jumping and beginner riders who may want to put a foot down often or very quickly.

HEADSETS

The Headset is the component on a bicycle which provides a rotatable interface between the bicycle fork and the bicycle frame itself. It is the single area on your bike where the most shock is experienced by the smallest amount of surface. The benefits of equipping your bike with a well engineered, quality headset are saving time and money as well as improving handling and your riding enjoyment.

HANDLEBARS, STEMS, & SEATPOSTS

Handlebars, Stems and Seatposts are important components for determining fit and comfort to your bicycle. Handlebars come in many sizes, shapes and curves to accommodate your riding style and comfort. Stems come in a variety of lengths and rise (the angle) and are easily swapped to give you the perfect reach, or extension, to your handlebars. Seatposts are available in various lengths, materials and seat tube diameters to suit most bicycles and riders. Suspension seatposts incorporate suspension technologies to improve comfort and support.

HANDLEBAR TAPE & GRIPS
