Wintertime service

Do you have a trusty old steed covered in mud from the last ride huddled in a pile in the corner of your garage or basement? Has your mountain bike suspension been exposed to usage that would normally be reserved for the friday night mud wrestling bout at the local strip club? Every suspension design on the market needs maintenance sooner or later. Using a mountain bike through the western Oregon winter can leave pivot bearings rusted solid, and suspension fluid looking like the juice mopped up off the floor after said friday night mud wrestling match.

We here at santiam are versed in suspesion care. We can pull the bearings from your old, crusty, corroded frame and press fresh ones back in. Our mechanics will lovingly drain the sediment from your fork lowers and replace that chipped up seal head o-ring. If you love that bike and want to enjoy a fresh bearing kit, fully serviced suspension and brake pistons that fully retract, then bring your bike down to the shop for some TLC. Our shop is like a spiritual retreat for your bike, it will feel many rides younger.

PINARELLO QUATTRO

There's a Pinarello Quattro sitting in our shop. It's looking for a good home. Come visit it. It has been potty trained, had all its shots and gets along well with kids. However, it doesn't play well with other bikes. It has also started a bad habit of whimpering and it has been getting louder each day it spends alone. We suspect this will pass. Initially we felt sorry for it, but it's getting on our nerves. Someone love it.

We're bored

Come down and vist. We have candy!

Dallas Trail Riding

In case you were wondering, the Dallas trail system is doing a little better than it was a few years ago. I too shed many a tear for what used to be called Tanglewood. The new trails that link up what is left of Tanglewood are a little different. No longer tangled or wooded, the clear cut trails are a far cry from the huge old growth the trail used to wind through

The loggers can cut the timber, but the trail will eventually creep its way back. These photos are from December 30th. The feeling of the new trails is a little more wasteland than lush forest. However, the present day rendition of tanglewood offers its own sense of mystery and wonder.

And thankfully, Gonzo remains undisturbed and beautiful.

For reasons I cannot go over, there will be no maps available on this uncharted system of sweet trails, just know that they are eagerly awaiting the scratch of your bicycles' knobs.

Full Wrap Roadie Fenders

 Hey roadies, there is finally a full wrap fender for your skinny, fat free, tight tire clearance road bike. They weigh next to nothing, won't break the bank, and your bike will no longer shower the whole group as you pull through the rain. These little suckers require no tools to put on, nor half of a water bottle to keep your feet dry. No fender mounts or Jerry rigging necessary.

Come on down to the shop and check out the Scott CR1 which we have equipped with these cool fenders. They are made in the UK by Crud components. See all the specs and videos at http://www.crudusa.com/
