2013 catch-up!

Wow, it's been a while since we've had an update!  To start off with, here's a cool video from just inside 2012 from team rider Joe Maher.  Trademark (and unique!) to-front lines, plus some general beasty riding.



Moving on, some new products!

We first got in touch with Jitsie earlier in 2012 and they mentioned they were working with some top name riders such as Kenny Belaey and Jack Carthy to develop some biketrials-specific riding gear.  After 2 years of R&D, the Airtime range is now available to buy!  This is comprised of the Airtime Gloves, Airtime Jersey and the Airtime Shorts.

We've also got some of the Jitsie 'casual' range in stock, as well as the Radikal gloves.  If you'd like to check out our full line of Jitsie gear, check out our site here!

As a little bit of breaking news, we've just heard word that Koxx are joining forces with Jitsie for 2013 to create a "Koxx by Jitsie" range.  This should be interesting!  Click here for more info.

Having some pimp gear to ride in is one thing, but without a bike you're going to be in trouble - if you need to build yourself up a new 20" or 26" bike, the new GU 2013 frames are worth a look.  Featuring some pretty new-school UCI-inspired geometry with some great, functional design - including Echo's press-fit 'Spanish' BB and integrated tensioners - and some sweet finishes!

Echo have updated their Pure frame for 2013 too.  Nice, simple design at only £299 including the Urban ISIS BB!

 Echo's long-running stem line has been updated too, giving us the Echo TR 2013 stem which now features a sloping top cap design - it's also supplied with the matching top cap and a bolt.  Ideal.

Their superlight SL cranks have also been on a diet, creating the brand new Echo SL 2013 cranks.  At 384g (175mm length), they're around 60g lighter than their nearest competitor and lighter than several of the ISIS BBs we sell!

They're also available in Silver for the more conservative riders out there!

While we're talking about lightweight parts, RockMan have joined Try-All in offering a light 26" Carbon Fork.  The feature a slightly thicker steerer with extended insert, plus alloy inserts at the 4-bolt mounts and dropouts.  They also use a tech version of expanding foam around the inside of the legs to improve strength whilst also reducing noise.  634g is not much for a pair of forks...

Still maintaining that theme, the Koxx Kloud 20" Frame is now out.  A well thought-out frame design with some sweet graphics and good geo - always a nice combo.  Stay tuned to find out which of our team riders has built themselves up a 26" Kloud frame for 2013 too...

...and I think that's enough for now!  We all hope you've had a good new year so far, and go on to have a great 2013.

Bargain.

We've just added some new 19" rear wheels to our website in the form of the Echo/Try-All Sealed Rear 19" wheel.  A great wheel at a great price!  Available in both Disc and Non-Disc versions, who whichever braking option you're using you're covered.

In other news, keep an eye on our Facebook page for the latest Weekend Offer - the discount this week is 20%, but you'll have to stay tuned to find out what on...

More new bits!

Continuing the 'New stuff' theme, we've got the latest Try-All K2/NoWar products in stock.  These include the new K2 Forged Stem, K2 Rear Hub and Single Cage Titanium Pedals.

The K2 Forged Stem is available in the ever-popular 150mm size (with 32° rise) which is pretty much spot-on for most 20" bikes, as well as the latest generation of high BB 24" and 26" bikes.  The main draw of the new stem is the different bar clamp system which features two split-rings that clamp your bars.  The advantage of this is much easier installation for higher rise bars which previously required having to splay open the clamping part of the 3D Forged stem.  This new system gives a nice, wide clamping area and makes putting your bars on easier - all good.

The K2 Rear Hub is an evolution of the previous 'H'116 hub, this time featuring great quality bearings and a slotted hub shell to save weight.

And lastly, the Single Cage Titanium Pedals - some of the lightest pedals out there.

New Try-All products

Last week we received our latest Try-All order, featuring a couple of new bits 'n' bobs:

The K2 Front and K2 Rear 26" rims are the latest models to be released and are preeeetty light.  The rear is 568g, which is roughly 40g lighter than the next lightest rim.  Not bad, not bad.

Try-All's 2013 ISIS Alloys Crank Bolts also fall into the 'preeeetty light' category, weighing in at a measly 12.0g.

Lastly, the ever-popular Try-All Foam grips are now available with new graphics and a slightly different size.

New from Koxx/Try-All...

We've had a couple of new bits and pieces show up from France including the Koxx Foxx 20" frame and the Try-All Entry forks.

The Entry Forks are a great set of cheaper 4-bolt only steel forks - they aren't the lightest around but they're nice and tough and at £40 (inc. VAT) they won't break the bank.  You can also find these forks on the front of the Koxx Yellow complete bikes.

The Foxx Frame is a top-of-the-range frame aimed at younger riders.  With competition/UCI-inspired geometry and a low overall weight, this is going to be the ideal tool for the next generation of comp riders!

New video and new tool...

New product and new video too - Gav and Mark went for a ride in Blackpool last weekend, and Gav made this video of the day. 



Team rider Flipp has also been getting up to a bit of riding, here's a photo from Mike Judson of him doing a reverse bar manual tuck?  As you do!

We've also got a new multi-tool in from BBB - the Maxifold.  A whole load of features on a pretty dinky tool - it basically features almost everything you'll need if you get caught out on a ride!

 

If you happen to need a bag to carry said tool in, we also have some new bags from Try-All which may come in handy!

Try-All Sky Rims

As found on the Sky 2 20" and 26" bikes, the Sky rims are now available separately!  We have the Rear 19", Front 20", Rear 26" and Front 26" rims available, only in black.

Try-All parts.

Yet more new products - this from Try-All.  The long-running Try-All 'H'100 Non Disc front hub has seen a re-design which means it's shed both weight and cost - a lower weight of 65.7g and a lower price of £45.  If you need a nice, non-disc front hub (28h only!) then look no further!

The Symetrik bashring has also been given a cosmetic tweak, giving a more subtle, stealthy look.

New from Try-All...

We've just received a fresh shipment from Koxx/Try-All featuring some old bits (including the "Best grips in the world" - according to Mark) as well as some new, such as these new lightest-on-the-market alloy screw-on sprockets.



We've also got a couple of new bikes as well as some other bits and pieces to go on the site in the next couple of days - stay tuned...
