To improve the look, organization and readability of our online catalog we are gradually adding background images to all of our pages. Let us know what you think or e-mail us an image that you would like to see us use.

We updated our Heart Rate Monitor section. Includes 25 detailed pages with photographs of Polar, Cateye and Sigma Sport monitors, spare parts and accessories. Several pages were completely rewritten and now feature all the newest heart rate monitors.

We added a new Ergo Lever Section to our existing Brakes section. Read all about Campagnolo's latest Ergo levers. When you get ready to rebuild your levers be sure to check out our detailed Ergo and Aero brake lever spare parts pages.

Chris King recently changed their pricing policy. They now require all dealers to consent in writing that Chris King products will be advertised at a price that Chris King believes riders should pay. The new, fixed retail price would be the same for all Chris King dealers and higher than what we currently charge. In a recent phone conversation a Chris King representative stated that if we did not sign the agreement they would no longer sell their products to us. They would also ban their distributors from selling to us. As a result we are discontinuing all Chris King products.
