For 2014, the USA Cyclo-cross National Championships are held in Boulder, Colorado, January 8-12. This is the place: Valmont Bike Park, a unique and wonderful place to ride and race – And this is the report: Want a quick video explanation about WickWerks chainring technology and why they shift so fast? Watch this short video WickWërks, along with Katie Compton have put some very special articles for auction in support of the AMY D. FOUNDATION. WickWërks will be auctioning one set of their newest cyclocross rings – the 42/34 combination – along with a brand new Trek Cyclocross Collective jersey donated by Katie Compton. The auction starts How many times have we heard it . . . “Isn’t there a better way?” Now, for thousands of Junior Road Cyclists competing in sanctioned events all over the globe, there is a different, arguably better, solution for junior gearing. This is The Junior’s Solution. Autumn brings with it the shortening days, changing weather, and the clang of Cow Bell. Who started the tradition of clanging the Cow Bell? The days are getting shorter, the leaves are changing color and falling, a certain crispness hangs in the morning air . . . . . . And, the weekends rock with the clang of cow bell! It’s ‘CROSS Season! Put on the spot by a visitor to our booth at the 2013 UCI Masters World Cyclocross Championships, WickWerks engineer Eldon gives a brief introduction and explanation (along with a short demonstration) about how the WickWerks BRIDGE Shift Technology works. It’s a bit rough, considering it was an on the spot request and suddenly talking to a camera is a little weird, but click the image below, or follow this link to YouTube to view the video. In the wake of the Black Forest fire (June, 2013) just outside of Colorado Springs, the following pictures were taken of the remains of some bikes pulled from what used to be the garage of a bicycle (and tricycle) enthusiast. Moab Utah. Aah, what can you say. A forsaken patch of barren rock and desert where vegetation is scraggly, and only the scorpions seem to thrive. Where winters are harsh and summers bake . . . a piece of heaven . . . a mountain bike mecca. In a show of our support for cyclocross, cycling athletes, and the efforts of USA Cycling to put on such events, WickWerks was represented at CX Nationals not only by the many athletes that ride our products, but also with big, bold banners around the course! It’s always a bit sad to leave the mountain bike mecca we call Moab. A few days are never enough to take it all in or to field test everything.
