Guru Cycles - Quality Driven

We've been working with Guru Cycles since 2008. And in that time they have designed and manufactured the only fully automated Fit System. Produced the lightest custom road frame in the world. And now, sponsor a number of pro and amateur athletes from Cross, Road and Triathlon. 


Guru designs everything in house in lovely Montreal Canada. Steel, Titanium or Carbon. Take your pick.

Above is there latest Praemio R (Titanium) with Ritchey cockpit and the newest thing everyone wants....Disk Brakes. Well, hydronic brakes that is.


They also showed off their uber light, "I can't believe its that light", Photon series. SL, RL and HL. Would you believe that Guru shaved their HL even more!! Yep!


They also came out with a NEW TT bike!! The CR.401. Fully equipped with true custom paint and of course, within a budget! 


If you are a serious cyclist or want to be  serious in cycling or triathlons, please take some time and contact Rocket Bikes about Guru. Or better yet, find someone who rides a Guru and simply ask them. Ou will not be disappointed!!


The Italians are coming! The Italians...

You get the gist. Except it's not the British but the Italians.


Saddle leader Fizik, has come to Interbike with some pizazz. And well they should, their Italian. Take Fizik's new saddle the Tritone. It come standard with rear water bottle mount and C02 holder. One less thing to purchase when shopping.


Their new R3B Uomo is not just sexy but light weight,  comfortable and easy to strap/secure while pedaling.


Finally, the Cyrano Stem/Handle bar with integrated BarFly Garmin mount is incredible! Carbon bar with aluminum stem paired with the BarFly mount. Awesome!

Day 3 Interbike - Closing Day

TGIF!!
Today we meet our reps and talk shop about our new 2015 Products. Meet some good friends from the bike fitting world and check out possible new products to bring to the studio.

Vacation for my bike / BIKND Bike Case

EWhen traveling with your awesome, sweet and probably expensive bike, be sure you search for the best case around. Better yet, let us help you.



BIKND Helium Bike Cases are from Canada and have invented a unique and very different bike traveling case. Yes, some disassembling is involved but trust us, your bike is safe and very well protected. Two bladders that you inflate with an air pump (supplied with case)
which protect 2 or 4 wheels and the bike itself. 


They also have a very nice Wheel Bag that has a similar bladder to protect the wheels from any outside obstacles. 
So your $2200 - $4000 set of race wheels are protected and safe.


Their new case even has an adjustable bar to lengthen or shorten depending on the bike you're traveling with. MTB, 650c xxs road or even XL. (TT, etc)

Check them out!!

A Fat Bike for your Hunting Needs

I hunt. I have been since I was a kid. Fishing on the mighty Mississippi. Squirrel, pheasant, turkey and deer hunting "Up Nerth" and in the country woods behind my parents house in South West Wisconsin. To get from point A to point B, we walked. And, we walked and walked!! Walked for days just to hunt that thing. 



If we had something like this Fat Bike from Surly, our miles and miles of walking would have been shaved down. Plus, the enjoyment of biking instead of walking is always better! Right??


Wisconsin has Thousnands of miles of trails. Some flat. Some rolling. And many 
That may not look like trails. Some trails are not even snow plowed during the winter. We say...Bring IT ON! Now with these trendy, must have, go anywhere Fat Bikes...Anyoube can once again enjoy biking. Because again, biking is fun, enjoyable, healthy and saves on gas.

Chatting over coffee with Dan. Always nice to catch up. 

Loud Speakers to Power Meter

Remember when you were younger, perhaps in High School or maybe college, and Pioneer WAS the loud speaker of choice. I mean really... if you didn't have a Pioneer system you obviously did not know how to ROCK! :-)


Fast forward to the now and Poineer is one to contend with. Seriously!
In short, measures both true left & right balance with meter on the drive side and pod on left crank arm. 


From a Biomechanical and Exercise Physiology background , Coach Jessica, Bill and Scott are beyond excited to test and demo!
