Product Review:

Product Review: Athlos Sports        Wearing your favorite cycling kit, for some reason, can make you feel a little faster. And with so many new brands and numerous patterns out there on the market, you have no excuse not to find a kit that you'll love. It used to be that the choices for cycle clothing available were mainly black – and always fairly plain or overly branded by the specific manufacture. This is not the case with Athlos Sports.      Athlos uses a Biomorphic Design Developed to work in harmony with naturally occurring shapes and movements, producing more fluid movement while enhancing performance and comfort.The over all function of custom cycling clothing Additionally, jerseys do a good job of moving moisture (sweat), but require air to evaporate that moisture away. Jackets block that evaporation somewhat. I'm happy to say that even though the test situation wasn't ideal, the Athlos kit did great.      Over ...

New Product:

New Product: Hold Fast Cycling   Our tubeless sealant, Stan's No Tubes , was due for some maintenance, so we figured why not replace our valve stems with these ones from Hold Fast Cycling. Not only does the valve cap double as a valve core tool. Also, they are available in a variety of colors that you can mix and match!      230 Washington St Weymouth, MA 02188 (781) 337-7125 Please follow us:  Facebook Instagram  Blogspot Website Strava

Blazing Their Own Trail

Blazing Their Own Trail  With a set of 2.25 29er Vittoria Mezcals mounted to a Specialized Epic I set out to race in the demanding gnar that the East Coast has to offer. After a mountain bike race season of testing, our pair of test tires ( #VITTORIATESTER ) They were worn, but in good shape. As expected, the rear tire was more worn with visible signs of siping wear, but both they look like they have more miles left in them. As a team we have been running Vittoria Tires for several race seasons and absolutely love them. Have been our go-to brand since we've started mountain biking. Slapped them on the bike and never looked back. Add to that the fact that their customer service is top notch and you have a winning combination.

Some of our unforgettable moments during 2019

          Some of our unforgettable moments during 2019      Cycling as a whole has exposed us to new adventures, breathtaking views, amazing friends and unforgettable experiences throughout the year.       We got to ride some awesome trails. Some of those were tough, rocky and pretty scary in places. Theses challenging areas have allowed us to recognize our weaknesses and work on our skills to become better riders.      Cycling has connected us to the natural world. Reducing time away from technology and letting us live in the moment.  As cyclists, we have ridden often on secondary highways, off the beaten paths, singletrack all through some breathtaking scenery.       The cycling community is incredible, and it spans across the world. There's a certain magic that happens when people come together to ride bicycles. You end up not only motivating each other...
