Mountain bike skills development: Pump Track

Ever wonder why the fast riders are so fast and smooth?  They use their legs and body for more than just pedaling and turning.  They use body movement to gain and maintain speed without pedaling by creating acceleration and momentum.  Riding the pump track is a great tool for learning how to use legs as suspension, corner acceleration and pumping down-slopes while flexing extremities upwards on the up-sloping terrain.

SBC has demo tubeless road wheel sets!

That's right, TUBELESS road tires!  This technology is going to improve everyone's road riding experience.  Running tubeless will nearly eliminate your chances for getting flat tires.  You will also be able to run lower pressure for more supple ride.  The wider rims give the tire a wider profile which increases the footprint of the tire on the road surface, which means more traction.  Come in and demo these new wheels, you'll be surprised how awesome it is.

SBC Staff Favorites - Collin's Pick for 2012

The giving season is upon us, no matter what particular holiday you celebrate, it's the holiday season. With that comes the sometimes not so easy task of finding that special something for  your friends and family.  Here at SBC we would like to assist with gift ideas to help you find that new shiny two wheel related present . With that each one of here at the shop would like to highlight our "favorite" item of the year! My choice , Shimano's 10 Speed Shadow Plus rear derailleur. The On/off Clutch systems nearly eliminates forward cage movement while riding which means no more noisy chain slap on the descents or chain dropping off the chainrings when boosting that big air. And it's not just for full suspension bikes, the shadow plus system quiets down that noisy hardtail bumping down the trail.  Thanks to this little piece of art trail riding has become  much more fun, with less noise and trail side mechanicals one can find themselves lost in the beauty of the wilderness. Available in XTR, XT, SLX, Saint, and ZEE models to fit any budget or riding style!
