We're back from Interbike, and we'll have photos up later this weekend! We got to check in on a few of our favorite companies, and test ride some phenomenal bikes out at Bootleg Canyon. We'll post more on the trip later because there is much to show and tell!
For now, let's get to the important stuff:
Tubular wheelsets are now available for rent! 'Cross guru Adam Myerson, who is a member of the UCI cyclocross commission, promoter of the States' oldest UCI 'cross race, coach, and a darn fine racer is notorious for touting that tubulars are critical in 'cross. Earlier this year he told Cyclocross Magazine:
"I would unequivocally recommend a set of box section tubulars over any aero clincher. The performance of tubular tires in 'cross cannot be matched by any clincher. I raced at 20psi in a race yesterday in Belgium. You can't do that on a clincher."
If you're not sure what the hype is all about and just want to try them out, or you are looking for advantage in your goal races, stop in and reserve a pair for your next big race! We have four sets available for the Fisherman's Park OVCX race this coming weekend, Oct. 4th!
Options are all 32h:
1. DT Swiss 340 hubs laced to Mavic Reflex rims with DT Swiss Super Comp spokes, Challenge Fango 32mm tyres (MSRP $750 + labor) - $60/weekend (Friday - Tuesday)
2. Shimano Ultegra hubs laced to Mavic Reflex rims with DT Swiss Revolution spokes, Tufo Primus 32mm tyres (MSRP $650 + labor) - $50/weekend (Friday - Tuesday)
3. Shimano Ultegra hubs laced to Velocity Escape rims with DT Swiss Revolution spokes (front) and DT Swiss Comp spokes (rear), Tufo Cubus 32mm tyres (MSRP $600 + labor) - $50/weekend (Friday - Tuesday)
4. Shimano 105 hubs laced to Velocity Escape rims with DT Swiss Revolution spokes, Vittoria XM Mud tyres (MSRP $550 + labor) - $50/weekend (Friday - Tuesday)
Please let us know if you are interested in renting a set or if you are interested in a custom set of your own - email, call, or stop in! If you decide to purchase the wheels and tyres after rental, 75% of your rental fee(s) will go toward the purchase total.
News, news, news! Try out some tubulars!
