Cheeky Transport

Schwalbe delivery

We recently got our Schwalbe tyre delivery and we tried to bury our six foot six Michael underneath. We just pulled up short, he is only crouching a little to support the tower.

Lots of cool tyres coming out this year from Schwalbe. Touring tyres in both 700 and 26inch and some very nice rolling road tyres as well. I’ve been trying out some Ultremo DDs

2010 – Get a Grip!

We’re stoked to be back at work for 2010. We would’ve updated the blog earlier, but we’ve been hectic for services since we opened back up. Check out all our cool new All City star MTB grips. We’ve got heaps of Ourys, natural cork grips and Powergrips Pedal Straps back in stock!

Ben’s a lawyer, customer and friend of ours, who bought a new Team Blue SE Lager for himself. He sent us a cool photo of him and his new bike and his wig - Here Comes The Judge!

Deluxe Cheeky Transport Musettes

Mick’s girlfriend Maddy made us a bunch of deluxe musettes of our own design – they’re recycled, reclaimed machine-washable cotton, with a lining and an inch wide shoulder strap that also runs round the bag to give them some depth. They’re comfy to wear, straps are just the right length and they look cool. $25 each.

Rocket Fuel Coin Purses

We’ve got stock of some Rocket Fuel coin purses for only $10 each.

Now Stocking – Power Grips

Update: January 18th 2010 – Powergrips back in stock!

Update: December 20th 2009 - We’re sold out of Power Grips, the wholesaler is sold out of Power Grips, and the manufacturer is sold out of Power Grips – Should be back in stock in the New Year, fingers crossed for soon.

I’m stoked that we’ve got some stock of Power Grip pedal straps available. I’ve been using them on my bike for a few years and think they’re a great option if you’re looking for an alternative to cleats or toe-cages. They’re $60 a pair for the standard length.

Powergrips are so brilliant, so sublime in their simplicity and economy of material, so superior in function and practicality, that it is a crime they are not standard equipment on all new mid and entry level mountain bikes, hybrids and city bikes. – Practical Pedal

Powergrips are durable, cheap, and effective. The inch-wide webbing straps won’t scratch up your Manolo Blahniks’ the way regular toeclips will; they let you move your foot around on the pedal as comfort demands, and a twist of the foot instantly binds or releases them. They have all the advantages of both toe clips and clipless pedals with none of the downsides. – Momentum Magazine

The most underrated bicycle accessory on this or any other planet. – Rivendell
