Few weeks ago in our little shop just by the river Thames we have sold out of almost all of our Bromptons in one afternoon.

So don't waste your time and come down to pick one up before they go again ;)

OUR EVER GROWING BROOKS COLLECTION JUST EXPANDED TO OXFORD ROLL UP RAIN CAPE

2011-09-02T05:01:00.000-07:00

The Oxford Cape was re-created in London by a team of fashion designers who are also avid cyclists. The group mastered the art of cutting and stitching in Savile Row, the renowned London street of bespoke tailors. The garment is manufactured in England using the finest waterproof cotton, JB Raver Tweed and the same vegetable tanned leather used for the legendary Brooks Saddles. Reflective JB Raver Tweed is a Dashing Tweed fabric manufactured exclusively for John Boultbee using the finest worsted wool yarns subtly combined with modern technical reflective threads, woven together in a traditional mill in Scotland.

Fresh delivery of BROOKS B18 RASPBERRY WITH PLUMP GRIPS

2011-08-22T05:56:00.000-07:00

The Perfect Present for Your Lady, Mom or Daughter! This Raspberry B18 Lady is specially packaged with matching Leather Grips. The saddle features the original embossed flowers design of 1905. A true collector's item, the B18 Lady also features the same unique loop springs -incorporated within the saddles rails - which were among the first suspension features to be patented by our predecessors.

The exceedingly comfortable and ever so stylish leather grips included in the box are perfect for use on straight, riser or swept handlebar styles. Each grip is comprised of a stack of hard wearing leather discs sourced from the butt leather offcuts which are surplus to saddle top cutting. The leather washers are tightly stacked upon three lateral spokes per grip, these spokes in turn being fastened within a pair of end stops. The metal end stops clamp tightly to the handlebar, preventing slipping or twisting of the grips.

Rails/Weight: Chrome/700g
Width: 210mm, Length: 265mm

Straight from the box, new BROMPTON in our collection.

2011-08-19T08:15:00.000-07:00

2011-07-22T06:42:00.000-07:00

The Shimano Servo-Wave SLX and XT hydraulic disc brakes continue to borrow from the features developed for XTR that provide huge leaps in braking and control. The new compact caliper with oversized 22mm ceramic pistons is combined with a lightweight lever for a brake that lighter yet packs 25% greater braking power when the ICE Technologies brake pads and rotor. The rotors have been proven to reduce temperatures of the rotor as much as 100% over a standard all steel rotor, and will be available in a 6-bolt pattern as well as the Shimano innovated Center Lock. Mechanics will appreciate the integration of the same one-way bleed that debuted on XTR last year.

Mavic Ksyrium SL

2010-06-18T03:18:00.000-07:00

• Less inertia: ISM.
• Optimized energy transfer: Isopulse lacing and asymmetrical rims.
• Light and stiff rims: ISM.
• Extra-light components: FTS-L freewheel, Zicral spokes, Carbon front hub.
• Rim resistance: Maxtal, SUP Fore drilling.
• High quality adjustable cartridge bearings: QRM+
• Front 645g and rear 840g (1485g Pair).

Special Features:

• FTS-L: Force Transfer System Light. The reinforcement of the key transmission components: Lighter hub, stronger hub, better torque transmission.

• FORE Only one of the two rim wall is “drilled”. The rim is four times more resistant to fatigue stress. 20% increase in the rim rigidity to transfer all of your energy to the ground.

• ISM Inter Spoke Milling. Lighter rim and equal rigidity is the magic equation to reduce inertia and to free extra power for climbing. A Mavic patented exclusive concept.

• ISOPULSE The spoke lacing design and wheel building bring better wheel stability and a crystal clear transmission of energy thanks to a better spoke tension balance between left and right flanges.

• MAXTAL Exclusive to Mavic. An aluminium alloy that is 30% more resistant than a 6106 alloy, for lighter and stronger rims.

• QRM+: Qualité de Roulements Mavic+. Our most demanding level. Those cartridge bearings are made of course double sealed with C3 internal clearance, and topped with a micro-adjustability system, allowing you to quickly adjust your wheels according to performance goals: precision “free” adjustment for maximum fluidity, or perfect high precision setting for all weather rides.

• SUP Soudé Usiné Process. A welded rim is more robust, doesn’t shudder when braking and gives the wheel greater stability.

• UB Control: Usiné Brut. The braking surfaces are micro-milled to improve braking friction and eliminate shuddering.

• Zicral Ultra light weight and highly resistant spokes. A Zicral spoke has 10% more static resistance than a stainless steel spoke of the same weight.

RRP £710 (Shimano compatible set in stock, Campagnolo version available to order)

Lock your bike PROPERLY!

2010-05-14T07:11:00.000-07:00

Few days ago I've noticed two bikes locked in front of the shop side by side. One of them in proper way and the other completely wrong. I thought I'll share with you few tips on how to lock your bike, because it's not that obvious for everybody.

First, the bike that could be stolen in 5 seconds:

Good lock won't help if used the wrong way. As you can see it locks only the front wheel that is of a quick release type. All you need to do to take the bike is open the quick release lever and walk away leaving the owner with his good lock and a front wheel.

Picture below presents one of the best ways to lock your bike. D-lock is used to secure frame and rear wheel of the bike to the rack and second lock secures front wheel and frame as well.

Two locks it's not an overkill, especially if your wheels are quick release. Bike theft is a big problem in our area, so don't make it too easy to steal your bike!

2010-02-12T09:03:00.000-08:00

'Manta saddle' is following us on twitter.. I was intrigued. A quick search and I was at the homepage of manta saddle.

"But why does my bike need a magic blue wing?" you may will ask. I did. And why are they calling it a saddle? Hmmmm.

Oh. My. Gosh.

'AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR FIXED, TURBO BIKES, SPINNING!'

Are you sure?

"A removal of stamina-sapping pounding on the seated area."(!)

Well I can only speak for myself but if I regularly felt like my 'seated area' was being 'pounded' I would have done something about it before now. Still, if you are new to seat area pounding maybe thin could be the answer.. I'm sceptical, but decide for yourself
