Bicycle Chain News

Now that we've settled in to the new website, it's time to start updating it with things that are happening in and around the shop. The blog area will be for personal opinion and expression, while the news area will carry features about products, promotions, events, rides, hours, etc.

Tuesday night ride

Submitted by Tim Lupfer on

This Tuesday we'll be kicking off our Tuesday night rides. We haven't done this for a while, so it will be an evolving process. We are starting simple, with a very classic river loop, ridden on road bikes. We will depart the shop around 6pm. If we get a prompt start, we may be able to extend the route and still make it back with daylight to spare. The pace will be 17-20mph. Everyone is welcome. There is a facebook event if you'd be so kind as to confirm your attendance. If not, ride anyway. It just makes it easier to plan if we have an idea of who is coming. Route can be seen below:

Web only specials

Submitted by Tim Lupfer on

Over the past couple of months we've been trying to better connect with our customers electronically. To further enhance that relationship, we're going to begin offering limited-time, web-only specials on our facebook and twitter feeds. If you'd like to receive these offers, please go to our facebook page and/or twitter feed, and like/add/follow/whatever us. We will try to be responsible with our social media use, and use it to disseminate relevant information and promotions, without the mindless noise of "advertising".

Free Mavic MP3 crash replacement and 2012 products

Submitted by Tim Lupfer on

We've recently received our 2012 Mavic product. Conveniently, Mavic timed this to coincide with a promotion of their MP3 crash replacement program. Normally, participating in the program involves an additional fee, calculated as a percentage of the MSRP. Until May 15th, they are offering it free with select wheels. While you may want to peruse the fine print, the gist is this: "With the MP3 'crash replacement' program your Mavic product is covered for any accident, fall, or damage for 2 years!" Other highlights from the new 2012 product:

  • At $1199 for the pair, the Cosmic Carbone SL looks to be a great "budget", aero wheelset. It's only slightly heavier than the nearest competitor, and several hundred dollars cheaper.
  • The new Aksion tires, distributed both alone and with the Aksium wheelset, also are looking like a great value. With rising tire prices, it's great to see a $39 folding tire at 240 grams.
  • The Ksyrium SLR is pure stealth. These are new to the shop and garnering a lot of attention.
