We managed to secure a large shipment of end of season Norco hard tails and they have just landed (almost a month later then we hoped, but that's life). Because we negotiated a really good rate we are able to pass these on at excellent pricing. The Storm range (Our price will be $750 -$900) are great base level bikes, offering a super reliable and nice option for those just starting out with off road riding, or wanting a bike for commuting. The Charger range (Our price will be $1350 - $1950) offers higher end components in a much lighter package. These bikes offer lighter weight and higher performance for those looking to push further. Come and see us if you are in...
Rather then paying a rather exorbitant amount to get our concrete floors ground and polished professionally, we thought we would give it ago ourselves. So we rented a grinder from hirepool and went to it. Luke and I (Kashi) figured out how it worked on day one and managed to get around 50m2 done. Jake joining in on day 2, although the machine didn't start, so we lost half the day while that got repaired. This meant we had to come back for a 3rd day, but thankfully two good customers, Adrian and Shane, came and helped finish off the job. We still have another day or two with a different machine (with a finer stone) plus then a day of...

But as the good word about our service has spread, so has our popularity. We have needed more staff. With three mechanics we have been running out of space fast and you may have noticed temporary repair stands being used quite a lot this summer? We realised if we wanted to keep our high standard...

Kia Ora Summer is well and truely arrived... so here are some tips on keeping your precious steed running as well as possible.1 - Wipe and oil your chain every rideThis might sound excessive, but this is the number one thing to keep your bike riding nice, and the drive chain lasting well.

Then apply a thin lube (my personal favourite is Finish Line Ceramic Wax Lube)... put plenty on, then let it sit, before wiping it off again.2 - Cleaning your bikeYour bike is not made from concrete (hopefully), so DONT use a...
