Mountain Bike Monday - ROVAL CARBON WHEELSET

Time to clear up a few tidbits before we get to the information on an awesome wheel set that we just received at the shop.

First off: 

We have new hours

Tom had been hearing from his customers that it was not always possible to get to the shop with his hours that he had been using since the shop opened.  So he listened to his customers and effective March 1st here is the new schedule (yes they are in effect now!)

Monday: 10-8
Tuesday: 10-8
Wednesday: 10-6
Thursday: 10-8
Friday: 10-6
Saturday: 10-6

You will not that we are now open on Wednesday and later on every other day.  So if you had a difficult time making it to the shop during the week check out our new schedule and come and see us at the shop!

Secondly:



Tom has extended his wheelset sale until March 15th!  So if you are looking for a new wheelset for the upcoming season stop by and check out our inventory.  This week's posts will focus around some of the wheelsets that we have in stock but don't worry there are many other options available.  As a matter of fact I just picked up a new set for my Single Speed Commuter and took them out for a test ride Saturday evening after work and they were great.  I am also testing a set of Specialized Infinity Tires on the commuter as well so I will keep you posted as to my thoughts on them.

Now onto the Roval Control SL 29'er Carbon Wheelset that is available for $1,700 for front and rear tire.
