Electricity and Lights Upgrade !!

Scott Kowalski · Dec 18, 2016 ·

After almost 5 years  we are excited as an organization because we now have REAL lights. We can see down the bike corridor it’s amazing and it’s just bright everywhere no more squinting to see those small parts !! Check out some of the photo’s and or stop into the shop yourself! We would like to thank Boden Electric (412) 781-8899 for getting the job done in a quick and professional manner.

It cost us a bundle but it was well worth it. Would could always use donations to help with the cost of the upgrade.

All donations are tax-deductible, as we are recognized by the IRS as a non-profit organization.

Thank you!

We’re using PayPal to process payments now.




Bottom Bracket Sprocket Holder

Scott Kowalski · Oct 13, 2016 ·

Holder Tool for Splined Bottom Bracket Socket

bb_socketholder_feature

  • Holds socket tool to Bottom Bracket axle to eliminate slippage during removal and installation
  • Works with square taper and splined axles with M8 or M15 internal spindle thread

If you have even battled with an over-tightened Shimano® and ISIS Drive® splined bottom bracket cup, the Bottom Bracket Socket Holder will solve this problem. Though these types of bottom brackets proved themselves as the standard for many years and continue to be found on many bikes, the tendency for these shallow splines to slip during removal or installation has resulted in more than a few expletives, high frustration levels, and worst of all, injuries.
