Bought a bike through Bikes Direct a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be happier! Darren provided excellent service from start- to finish - providing great advice and a quick turnaround considering how busy all the bike shops are at this time. Will definitely buy from them again!
Wandering around Mekele, a small city in the north of the country, I came to this little bike shop selling new Phoenix cycles and spare parts. I’d seen plenty of dirty little mechanics’ huts and bikes for sale in “general merchandise” shops alongside plumbing and roofing supplies and ...
Incidentally, there are also a couple of other marginal benefits to going with the tried-and-tested 26-inch wheel size, which until very recently was what all mountain bikes at every price point were built with: If you’re looking in theright type of bike shops– that is, mainstream store...
An ideal bike storage rack for single bike suits almost anywhere like garages, apartments, basements, sheds and retail bike shops. Allows bike parking – so if your bike doesn’t have a stand you can park your bike anywhere with this rack. Mounts with either the front or rear wheel of ...

The obvious inspection includes tires, rims, and spokes. Check that there is adequate air pressure in the tires. Check that there aren’t any cuts or nicks in the sidewall or tread of the tires. Finally, if you find yourself questioning the integrity of your bike frame or bike parts, ...
(All else equal, shorter spokes make a stronger wheel, so Rohloffs (and disc hubs, which I use even for wheels on V‑brake rims) should marginally win out here – but this is a really minor point.) Finally, don’t forget that riders subject their bikes to varying levels of punishmen...
Some shops choose to set their price of entry higher to avoid significant compromises. For 3K CAD you can head into a shop, in 2022, and grab a hardtail with a reasonable fork, great tires, solid 4-piston brakes, a good 150mm dropper post, andalmost the only drivetrain that matters. ...
The fun here is trying to guess how that 6" bike will evolve. In this case, it's a short term prediction as the year 2023 isn't very far away when it comes to bikes. Most bike shops have already had to sign up for their 2022 commitments, as the industry attempts to guess how mu...
Some shops can add lights aftermarket (wiring into the Bosch motor system, running off of the main battery) Frankly, I was surprised at the big jump in weight from ~49lbs to ~57lbs going from the hardtail Lore iE to the full suspension Lore DS iE, perhaps this comes from the rear ...
