Can't buy a new road bike?

2012-01-12T16:18:00.000-08:00

Can't swing the $$ on a sweet new Carbon Jamis, Pinarello, Masi, or Focus bike at a great deal with free tuneups for life and 50% off everything with purchase?

How about making your old bike new again!

Best thing to do is replace your cable/housing and bar tape after a gritty year of dirt/grime.

For $100, you get the whole advanced plus tuneup plus get free cable/housing and new bar tape.

BOOM! Your bike is like new again. Plus, if you want new tires/tubes/cassette/chain, you get 30% off and free installation with the deal!

New Wheel Deal. New super spoke available.

2012-01-05T15:34:00.000-08:00

We sell lots of wheels. Zipp, Mavic, Reynolds, Ritchey, all kinds!

We also build many wheels, here is an example of some light affordable tubeless clincher wheels.

Rims are the stan's alpha 340. We can build these in many different spoke counts.

28/28
24/28
24/24
20/24
18/24
18/20

If you are doing a 24h rear, we suggest the 16:8 version. In the 16:8 design (16 holes on the driveside, 8 holes on the non-driveside), you raise the 50% tension on the left side to 100% by cutting the number of spokes in half. Since you have half as many, each one has to do the work of two and you have 8 spokes on the left that each have the same tension as 16 spokes on the right. So you can tighten both sides to 120-130 kgf and have a wheel that will stay tight and true without any attention.

We recommend the cx-ray bladed spoke. They are $3 ea for silver and $3.50 each for black.

The all new 15g super spoke is available too. It is lighter and stronger than the cx-ray, it costs $5.75 for silver and $6.75 for black.

A cheaper spoke option are the sapim laser. They are not bladed, the are super light double butted round spokes. They are as light as cx-ray but not as stiff/strong or as aero. 80 cents for silver and $1 for black each.

So check it out, you can get a 20/24 tubeless wheelset, cx-ray bladed spokes, weighing 1200 grams for $500.

Subtract $50 if you want a23 rims. They are about 50 grams heavier per rim, but are a little stronger and are also wider(23mm) and convert to tubeless with ease.

Add $200 for 300 gram carbon tubulars in the 38mm depth, or 330 gram 50mm tubulars.
With these rims, the 16h front/20h rear is an option. Now were talking 1050 gram wheelsets for $650!

If you want some super hubs, how about some chris king or dt swiss hubs, or even dura ace, or campy record. We do it all! Just say what you want and we'll quote you a price. volkerbicycles at gmail.com

$700 for 1100 gram 38mm carbon tubulars. Read more at the bottom.

If you do not want to spend that much, here are some more options for tubular cx wheels.

HED and Velocity both have a new rim that is wider than most aluminum rims, 23mm wide, this makes for good strength and for awesome contact for gluing.

Hed rims, $80ea

Velocity Tom rims, $55 ea, 432 grams. This is just like the a23 clincher rim we sold out of last year, but tubular.

We suggest 24/28 spokes front/rear with c-4 215/78 hubs. This adds another $300 to the price, so $410 for Velocity Wheelset or $$460 for Hed. Get Challenge tires for $50 ea with the wheel purchase. Offer applies to in stock tires only. $75 for tufo flexus tubulars.

Race Cyclocross HERE!

Of course, you can pick whatever hub spokes you want. Bladed cx-ray usually add $100 to the build. Black spokes or colored nipples adds another $12. You can do chris king, white industries, sram disc, i-9, velocity high/low, alchemy, any type of hub, just email for price quote.

We are still building up vista cruiser wheelsets too, 1350 gram 32 spoke wheelset for $350. Or you can buy 24/28 cruiser rims to heavier formula hubs for $225.

Description
CYCLISTS..
Does your neck hurt?
How about between your shoulders?
Hamstrings tight?
How are your knees?

This is a movement conditioning class that incorporates aspects of Tai chi, martial arts, swimming, yoga, and dance. It will help you to unlock the tight places in your body and teach you how to move with efficiency.

GYROKINESIS is designed around the human body's organic movement patterns and function. The movements are designed to increase circulation, remove tension, stretch, and strengthen all parts of the body including the back, core, arms, and legs.

The class will leave you feeling more open and able to access a greater range of movement and strength.

No matter how tight you are, you can take this class!

Please bring with you something to sit on, like a 5 gallon bucket or stool, a small cushion or pillow, and a yoga mat or towel.

The class is open to anyone of any age and is by DONATION.

Instructor Jane Gotch, is a professional dancer and contemporary choreographer here in Kansas City. She has been studying practicing, and teaching GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS since 2001. She has taught in New York, California, Israel, India, and has a private training practice at Plaza Wellspring. This year she just purchased a new road bike and has enjoyed the speed, fun, and freedom of her new bike!

For more information contact Volker Bikes or Jane Gotch on Facebook.
