SPINERGY Xyclone Disc Wheelset - $689.99 AUD

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 06:36:04 +1300

Video Review:

The demands of mountain biking have changed over the last several years, and the search for strong lightweight wheels has become ultra competitive. Cross country racers are going faster than ever, and downhill courses are so big, that 10 foot drops are becoming more and more common. Many companies are using lightweight steel spokes, and rims so thin they dent easily to cut back on weight.

There HAD to be a better answer. That answer is PBO technology.

PBO spokes can reduce wheel weight by up to half a kilo per set when compared to traditional wire spoked wheels. When combined with Spinergy’s custom U.S. made hubs and rims, you end up with wheels lighter than any wheel on the planet.

Through the use of PBO fiber, Spinergy MTB wheels are able to withstand impacts 25% greater than traditional wheels, and up to 50% greater than other lightweight wheels. Since PBO spokes are up to 5 times stronger than steel spokes, rim strength is not sacrificed for weight savings. In fact, the PBO fiber in all of the MTB wheel spokes is the same fiber used in Spinergy motocross wheels.

You rely on your wheels to get you to the finish, time after time, and Spinergy delivers.

SPINERGY Xyclone Disc Specifications:

Advanced PBO fiber spokes - 32 front/32 rear
Custom US made alloy freehub with vacuum seal
CNC machined hubs, with sealed cartridge bearings for minimal rolling resistance
6 bolt international standard pattern for disc mounting
Light weight alloy, disc-specific rim, Clincher type. Not UST compatible

Rear hub: 135mm Quick release, Shimano 8/9 speed compatible

UNION Chain Scrubber - $13.99 AUD

Fri, 5 Dec 2008 06:36:04 +1300

The Union Chain Scrubber uses a large fluid reservoir and a series of rotating brushes to get chains really clean.

The large volume reservoir allows the dirt to drop to the bottom, effectively keeping dirt from being redistributed on the chain during cleaning.

Durable sponge material draws the cleaning fluid from the chain as it exits the Cleaner, reducing drips and mess.

To make it easy to control and use, there is even a handle with which to hold the cleaner steady when in use.

Suitable for all multi-speed bikes and some single-speed models.

To use:

Secure the bike in an upright position.
Simply fill to the indicator mark with chain cleaning fluid.
Open the top cap by releasing the spring and lifting off.
Raise the cleaner with the handle so that the rollers touch the bottom of the chain.
Place the top cap over the chain, secure the top cap with the spring clip.
Hold the cleaner upright using the handle with your left hand.
With your right hand slowly rotate the pedals backwards, repeat until the chain is clean.
Dry the chain with a lint free cloth until the cloth shows no residue.
Re-apply a good quality chain lubricant.
Head off for your next ride!

*The plastic of this cleaner is not suitable for use with kerosene and other strong solvents.
