RockyMounts, makers of quality sporting car racks is rolling out two new low-profile, low-drag mountain solutions for bike (and skis if you still do that). They are called the Ouray Crossbar and Flagstaff Tower.
“This new system represents another step forward for us in terms of not only carrying your gear, but enhancing your vehicle in the process,” said Bruno Maier, President of RockyMounts, Inc. “Just because you like to play outside, doesn’t mean you should have to compromise efficiency and aesthetics when it comes to your vehicle.”

Full Windsor says The Nutter Cycle Multi Tool has. . .
. . . all the essentials for fixing your most common bike headaches. The Nutter combines all the tools you need when out riding into one simple unit. Its unique design and distinctive form turns the tool into a handle, giving you more leverage than other multi tools on the market. The tool weighs just 110g or 3.9oz.
And they’re probably right. But look how pretty this tool is? Wouldn’t it look nice strapped to the bars of your fendered, Brooks saddled city bike? Of course it would. And it costs only £39.99. Leather pouch included.

WTB released a new performance saddle shape called the High Tail (along with carbon-railed versions of their Volt and Rocket V saddles) at the Taipei International Cycle Show today (March 6, 2014).
The High Tail saddle features a unique and distinctive cut-out to the back of the saddle, allowing for additional rear tire clearance as full suspension 27.5” bikes cycle through their travel. Chris Cocalis, Pivot Cycles’ Founder and President, commented on the thought process behind the design, “It quickly became apparent that we weren’t going to be able to use the geometry we wanted to use with a conventional saddle on our upcoming 27.5” carbon downhill bike. We wanted to maintain the same travel, chain stay length and rider positioning as on our current 26” Phoenix DH bike and this presented an overall clearance challenge with current seat and rail profiles. Something had to give, so we contacted WTB with the idea of a saddle to accommodate the rising popularity of the 27.5” full suspension market.”
