The Over The Edge Experience - Open For the Business of Riding. What does that mean? Well, we are pretty much around and riding most mornings at 7.00am for a quick burst in the hills so call us on 8666 2222 or call Rich on 0417 341 462 or Al on 0428 773 104 if you need a rental or bike supplies, we would love for you to come and ride with us on some really sketchy singletrack. And we have some Women Specific Riding Clinics (free) happening so contact us girls and put your name down if you want to learn some MTB skills so you can head into some of the beautiful hills in the Flinders Ranges,.. and the world.. there are optional drinks afterwards to get an overall caloric and mental state balance. This little video clip gives you a slice of what The Over The Edge Experience meant for a couple of Canadian visitors - click here.
Kona Mawson Marathon winner thanks ergon
Brett Anderson riding with Chris Jongewaard - 2010 winner of the Kona Mawson Marathon "Before making the change to Ergon grips, I would regularly get sore wrists in endurance mountain biking events. However, I made the change for the Kona Mawson Marathon and the results were clear. Ergon grips provide your palm with a larger contact area and reduces the angle at which your wrists are positioned. This all amounts to a more comfortable position, with less stress on your wrists for long days in the saddle and less aches and pains after your ride."
Latest SquirtLube Testimonial - Hot off the Press
"G'day OTE,
Just been into my local bike shop, Oxygen Cycles where I bought some Squirt Lube, had to tell them how good it is. They suggested that I let you as the distributors know. I have just recently ridden to Darwin, via the Oodnadatta track, then straight up through the Finke,. So it was on dirt roads for the better part of Adelaide to Alice. At the time I got held up with rain for 2 days just north of Marree, and 3 days in Oodnadatta, So you would understand that the roads were pretty muddy, with mud well and truly over the chain. Then it turns into pretty sandy, with sand every where. The upshot this is that I am amazed at the job Squirt Lube does, just nothing sticks to it. In 2 months of riding I never wiped the chain with a rag, or tried/needed to clean it. I can run my finger along it with just the slightest sign of dirt showing. This was after using the lube every day, the thing is I took a new chain with me but even now I don't think I will change it yet for awhile. Nor have I needed to clean it yet, in spite of cleaning the bike.
I've ridden a bike for over 50 yrs. and have never seen anything like it. The closest thing would be candle wax that we used to rub on a one inch pitch block chain (now that 's going back)
Keep the chain tight,
Regards,
Denis Brown. "
Awesome stuff Denis. Nice to hear you are enjoying the power of the white stuff.
