After talking with Chrome it is clear that they have put some real thought into their new shoe line. Taking into consideration not only stiffness for cycling, but also walking give/support and overall all day comfort. Great Job!

Asphalt B43 Giveaway - Laek House

Seen @ Prolly

Keep your eyes peeled to the Laekhouse blog and here for more details.

Asphalt Giveaway Coming Up Soon

I’ve been working on organizing a giveaway series with John Prolly and it is coming to fruition within the next week or so. Named Asphalt, it’s a giveaway series showcasing of some of our favorite brands and friends.

We’re kicking it off with a set of B43s graciously donated by Velocity that I have finished in black ELVS. I know there have been questions floated as to whether there will be a production ELVS B43, and honestly, I can’t really give an answer yet. For the time being, these ELVS B43s are unique, perhaps now and forever.

HOLD FAST FRS Promo

Hold Fast Promo 1 from John Prolly on Vimeo.

Two sets of Hold Fast Straps are floating around the shop for employees to try out. So far we have only excellent things to say and as a matter of fact we are having trouble getting the first two test riders to give them up. Great work Jeremiah!

Burd Phillips - Sunday Morning in Indy

Milwaukee Bikes Promo #1 from Ride/Relax Productions on Vimeo.

I don't know how many times I've heard from people that meeting Burd is like meeting a pro football or basketball player for the first time; you just don't realize how big they are until you are standing right next to 'em. But I have to say; man, you make that bike look small! :)

Thanks Burd!

Bruiser AM Fork and YOUR Frame

Want to know how you can get 20% off your next purchase?

If you purchased a Bruiser aftermarket fork, email a picture of it turned backward on your bike to illustrate the bar-spin tire clearance and we'll email you a coupon code for 20% your next purchase from the benscycle.net webstore.

We will post these entries in our Bruiser AM Fork section and our new flickr page.

The fine print:

• only applies to Bruiser forks
• only applies to Bruiser forks installed on any frame but a Bruiser frame (unlike the picture above)
  
• must include:

1. a clear, comprehensible picture of your wheel turned backward so the tire clearance is visually perceptible (i.e. see above)
   
2. frame make
3. frame model
4. frame size
   
5. tire make
6. tire model
7. tire size (i.e. 700x28c)

• By submitting your image you give Ben's Cycle the right to publish your image electronically or otherwise.
• You must meet all the above criteria in order to receive a coupon.
• Coupon for parts only; no complete bikes or framesets
  
• email all entries to mbc@benscycle.com
  

Bolt on Cogs?

We've been seeing pretty nice sales of the VeloSolo cogs we brought in a couple months ago. We think they're great, you need far fewer tools to switch gearing, stripped threads are a thing of the past, and with a standard 6 bolt interface there are a ton of hubs available with just some small modifications. However, before we order a bunch of hubs and start modifying them we would like to know if there is some demand for it. So, I think I figured out how to put a poll on the blog, just let us know what you think. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any comments/suggestions.

p.s. If anyone is interested in the already modified XT pictured above just give us a call ($75 hub only).
