Oooh...it's cold....

Wet, windy, cold weather all around us and a bit of snow....

"The more it snows (tiddly pom), the more it goes (tiddly pom), the more it goes (tiddly pom), on snowing. "

Wonderful rhyming words courtesy of A.A. Milne - you know - the guy who wrote Pooh Bear - no it wasn't Walt Disney!!!

Nothing to do with bike components I know but seeing snow around the outskirts of our town just makes me think of that poem. There is more rain around too - especially in Victoria - hi to Austen who is so keen to build up his new violet DH Headset - if he doesn't float away first. Can't wait to see the pictures - of the bike that is, not the floods. Shall post them as soon as he sends them on.

We are back.....

Hello, well we have been away for a few days as one of us has been pretty crook and off his bike - not me!!! Still a few days rest, a few more dvd's, another bicycling book and things should be on the mend and back to normal. At least the cool, rainy weather here means it is real easy to stay in bed!

Speaking of rainy weather..... a cheerio to all those in the Newcastle and Central Coast region who have been inundated with too much of the wet stuff. Including some of our relatives. A big hi to all and hope things improve quickly. To the guys at Drift Bike Style - hope you get the van back soon.

On our news front.... we have just released our Downhill EV Headset - see the piccy above. This baby is a heavier duty version of our EV2 so more suitable for DH and Free Riding. Machined from 7075 alloy we have added a larger Enduro bearing which will withstand whatever you want to throw at it - the cup also has a deeper insertion into the frame for the ultimate in stability. These are available now - in Red, Black, Orange, Silver, Blue and........Violet!!!!

Our Tandem hubs are ready too - shall place a picture very soon.

Oh.... last but not least, Nick is on his way to Helsinki - he left from Mt Wellington near Hobart on Sunday. See storytransect to catch up with his ride.
