New Product: Schwalbe Marathon Winter 208 Studs 700x35
The Schwalbe Marathon Winter is our newest addition to our studded tire selection. This is an excellent choice if you're looking for a low rolling resistant studded tire while still able to grip the snow and ice enough to stay rubber side down.

ATTN: SRAM Road Hydraulic Brake Recall
If you are affected by this recall please stop riding the brakes and contact your local dealer.
SRAM Road Hydraulic Brake Recall:
SRAM has identified a technical issue with respect to a narrow production range of its RED 22 and S-700 Road Hydraulic road brakes. This is a performance and safety concern. There are no reported failures in the field.
We began proactive quarantine efforts with factories, bike brands and distributors last week. We have reported this issue to the US CPSC and will be cooperating with the agency to announce a safety recall in the near future. We are also working with European consumer administrations.
The affected serial numbers range from 36T30993767 to 42T39407156. This represents 3,553 brakes produced. Based on our investigative and quarantine efforts with our customers, we expect that there are fewer than 500 brakes worldwide in the affected range that are at Dealers or have been purchased by consumers.
The serial number can be found on the brake caliper (rim or disc) and
on the outside of the box containing the product. SRAM will issue
another notice when the CPSC approved recall launches.
Below is Sram's Press Release.
