Ditch Your Batteries for Earth Day!


Sick of replacing the batteries in your bike lights? Consider getting a dynamo hub. A dynamo hub is a small electric generator housed inside a hub shell. Hub dynamos have been around since the 1930's, but where generally overlooked due to their tendency to overdrive the bulbs at high speeds. Modern dynamo hubs have circuitry to prevent bulb damage. Not to be confused with sidewall or bottle dynamos, hub dynamos house all the electricity generating bits inside the hub shell, save for a small wire which connects the lights to the hub. Most modern dynamo hubs have such low drag as to be unnoticeable by the rider. With most dynamo hubs you have the choice of running a 3 watt headlight or BOTH a 2.4 watt headlight and a 0.6 watt taillight. Drop in sometime and check out our selection of Hub dynamos and lights.

King Bling a.k.a Quality

We like to sell products we ourselves would use.  That's why we stock more Chris King components than anyone else in the area.  King started making headsets over thirty years ago.  Using their experience in making headset bearings King makes wheel hubs and most recently bottom brackets.

The guys at Chris King believe so strongly in their product they warranty their headsets for 10 years and their hubs for 5 years!  Come check out our Chris King inventory next time you're in the shop.  We currently have headsets in every color Chris King makes!

We also have all the tools necessary to service all King components to keep them running smoothly long after the warranty has expired.
