ChallengeGriffos

Challenge Griffo Tubulars and Clinchers are back in stock. If you are ready for the sickness in handmade cyclocross tires, here it is. If gum walls aren’t your speed, we also stock Michelin Mud 2’s and Vittoria cx tires… (and don’t forget, through December you get a free tube of glue with tubular purchases!).

PaulComponents

Paul Components is a small company in Chico California making some beautiful bits and pieces (their cantilever brakes are unparalleled). We just got in their Touring Canti’s, Melvin chain tensioners, and a small stock of their new Chain Keepers. Also is 1 of 2 Flatbed Racks they had in stock. This front mounting rack is perfectly sized to hold a case of beer, and will do it in style with wood slats!

SwissStopBrakePads

Swiss Stop brake pads are fully back in stock. These are the best brake pads we have dealt with and keep a full stock on hand including pads for Shimano, Campagnolo, and SRAM brakes, Carbon and Aluminum, linear pull and cantilever and even Shimano and Avid disc brake pads.

EdgeWheels

Edge Carbon Wheels have been flying out the door and we just thought we might as well put some of the sexxiness on the internets. We have been primarily building these with Chris King Hubs and DT Revolution Spokes. Road, ‘Cross and Mountain wheels in tubulars or clinchers (their handlebars and forks are also getting top ratings from our customers as well!). Give us a shout and we’ll get a quote worked out!

We will be posting pics, video and whatever else we mistake for appropriate as we stumble down the aisles of the greatest bike show on earth.

The shop will be closed Tuesday (which is normal for our summer hours), but will also be closed Wednesday. We will have the store opened Thursday and Friday though!

We will also be trying to hit CrossVegas, the Mandalay Bay Criterium, the Rapha Soiree and more… so check back (and, as I say in advance every year: i AM TRULY SORRY for anything that ends up on here between the hours of 6:00pm and 7:00am).

She just finished up at the Gold Coast Sprint AG Triathlon World Championships in Australia and had a fantastic day!

The splits break down to:  9th out of the water, the 4th fastest bike time (that’s our girl!!), and 13th by the end of the run… Her transitions were amazing too: she had the fastest T1, and 5th out of T2…

Sandy you are awesome!

Sandy off to Australia

Our own Sandy Lawrence is in Australia as we speak for the ITU Triathlon Worlds! Sandy has been focused on worlds for the past year and she qualified in Laguna Beach, CA this last month. She returned to the PNW, put a racing disk wheel on her bike and tore the legs off her competitors at Sammamish with the second fastest ladies bike split overall and first in her age group by 8 minutes!

uBRDO is super excited for Sandy and wish her all the best! (and thanks for the ice-cream cakes!)
