Winter has fully set in so it's time to get those fat bikes tuned up!! It's really icy conditions right now so if you need studded tires or your tires are missing studs give me a call.

Old School beauty!! Zipp 1080 deep dish wheels. They were the fastest wheels available at the time and still look sooooo cool!

Who out there is still running last years sealant in their tires? Old sealant dries up or can even separate into whatever this is. Neither situation is going to help with a puncture. Also, be sure to carry an extra tube even if you're running sealant as sealant can only do do much. If your bike needs a sealant refresh give me a call.

New life for some classic hubs!! These are some beautiful high fl**ge polished Phil Wood hubs laced to DT Swiss MX421 rims. You really can't appreciate the beauty of Phil Wood hubs until you see them in person. The front is a standard QRx100 disc hub and the rear is a rare bolt-on 135mm singlespeed disc hub. Pure Class!!

Now THESE are some well used jockey wheels! New ones are on the right. Little things like this can have a big effect on your shifting. The good thing is that they are replaceable without having to replace the rear derailleur. If yours are looking warn like this give me a call and we'll set up an appointment.

This is Kaia, she's applying for the "Shop Cat" position. She's pretty cute. Hope she makes the cut!

Building wheels is not my favorite activity but it sure is satisfying when they’re finished.
