26" Holy Rollers

The 24" Holy Rollers are one of our most popular 24" tyres - and with good reason. Super grippy, great profile, great impact absorption, which are 3 good characteristics for your tyres to have. For that reason they found themselves on the wheels of Danny Mac's bike and indeed the bikes of all the 24" riders here at TartyBikes. Not wanting to miss out, Ali C wanted to have a pop at the 26" versions, so we've now got some in stock. Ali's initial impressions of the 26's are as favourable as our's of the 24's. Available for the same price and in the same 2.4" width, the 26" Holy Rollers are available now.

Stan's new video

We've been filming here and there with Stan for a couple of weekends now, and with a change of frame Stan's decided to put this little edit out so he's not mixing up footage on different frames. All Echo, all brakeless, all good.

"I'm a male model, not a male prostitute"

Yep, direct Handsome Boy Modeling School quote steal in the title. If you've not heard them before, hear them now!

Anyways, we now have some pretty swish Koxx Jackets on the go. Riding tested by Adam, dog-walking tested by Claire. Gav is the spruce and dapper model lurking within the coat - here's a few out-takes.

Classy.



COTW...

It's #"Tartybikes Video Clip Of The Weeeeeeeek"# time, this time featuring me (Mark) on my black Echo setup. Scrap footage: Re-housed.

Little and Large

The new Ozonys Curve frames are in stock, in both 20" and 26". Get amongst it...

Brakelessness! Stan & Mark at Lee Mill Quarry...

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we did filming/editing/riding for it!

Clip Of The Week 4!

New 'un up now, Ali C dominating Rowan's manny challenge on the recent Inspired roadtrip.



Bonus TV Burp style intro too courtesy of Adam.

Baller status.

If you were from OTN, then you might describe these wheels as 'baller'. If you're from Yorkshire, you might describe them as 'reet nice'. Either way, a new front and rear wheel are up on the site.


Options...

If you've got a Monty 205, Onza Mini-Master (well, you won't have one yet, but that's not the point...) or a Koxx Microsky or something along those lines, you might have noticed that getting a replacement 16" or 18" tyre for them isn't all that easy. Well, not any more!





Monty 16" tyres and Monty 18" tyres are now available.

Clip Of The Week #4 up in a few...

Hopefully you'll like these?

I Hope you'll be into these new T's from Hope that we've got in...



The Angel...



...and the Diffusion.

Observe.

This is how all XC should be. None of that "Getting off and pushing if it gets hard" malarky...

More products...

Some new "totally K-Radical" tyres:



A completely FANStastic frame deal.



I'll get me coat...

TartyBikes products.

We've had these in the pipeline for a few months now - now, they're available to buy!

First up, the new TartyBikes Multi Tool - tested out for months in our workshop by spanner monkey Ali C, with 10 high quality tools in one neat little package.



Secondly, an Adam-designed CNC, no frills bashring designed to fit on almost any setup possible due to it's built-in freewheel lip and generous front cut-out. Stan has been testing this on his Echo 24 or the past few months and has certainly put it through it's paces (as he's a massive basher). Mark's also got one on his 24 now, but they're equally at home on mods and stocks too!



Lastly, a set of very competitively priced 6061 riser bars - popular and comfy 9°x9° up/backsweep, with 85mm of total rise, and a 710mm width. These come in at just under £30, which means they fall into the 'bargainous' category. Such a thing does exist.

Clip of the week 3!
