My Kingdom For A Water Bottle Cage

Posted by: Mark on April 11th, 2012 in Accessories, News with no comments

Water bottle cages may be an afterthought to some, but we know and value their importance. Ejected bottles during a race are a nightmare. And no one wants to be that guy in the pack asking around for water.

So, Ifixbyx are now a dealer of what we think are clearly the best cages on the market – Arundel. Whether you’re looking for an aero advantage on your TT bike or you need a side-loader for your small front triangle bike or you just really hate losing your bottles when the road gets rough – there is a cage to meet your needs. Plus they just look great.

We also carry Arundel bar tape – think of it like Lizard Skin but more durable. Our new favorite!

Check out the Arundel site for a full range of their products. If we don’t have it in stock, we can order it for you. Stop by or call us to discuss what will best meet your needs.

Pedals ‘R Us

Speedplay Rebuild Kit

Ifixbyx are happy to announce that we are now a Speedplay pedal dealer.  Aside from their light weight, clearance in the corners, and dual sided entry, one thing we truly love about the pedals is that they can be rebuilt. That’s all well and good if you have the parts, tools, the time and the know-how, but not everyone does. We’ve had tons of requests for rebuilds, and we’re now happy to offer the service. We’ve got rebuild kits, bearings, and small parts in stock – along with experience to rebuild your favorite pedals.

You can also stop by or give us a ring if you’re in the market for a new pair, a second pair for your other bike(s) or just an upgrade (the Zero’s are our favorites!)

Do You Dugast?

Posted by: Mark on August 10th, 2011 in Accessories, News with no comments
We do! We’re proud to announce that we are now a Dugast tire dealer.  The first batch will be arriving next week, with more to follow at the end of August.  We’ll be stocking the ever-popular Rhinos and Typhoons in 32 & 34mm. We suggest you come in (or call) and pre-order to make sure you’re all set for CX race season. Which – like going back to school – is right around the corner!

One Tire At A Time

Posted by: Mark on July 15th, 2011 in Accessories with no comments

 

Bike repair can generate a lot of waste. Components are trashed, plastic bits and cables wear out, and tires and tubes need to be replaced – frequently.  We do our best here at Ifixbyx to recycle, reduce and reuse. Our biggest box of “leftovers” is invariably the one overflowing with tires. We recently  came upon a novel idea to reuse these tires – some of which don’t have many miles on them at all – a belt!  By carefully stripping away the sidewall, then adding a military-grade buckle to the end, we have turned these radials into the perfect fashion accessory.  We’re putting a few for sale in our store – you can choose a standard-issue black or pick a unique color (handy if you have a favorite brand you want to rep.)
