Formula
Did you ever think that Forumla Brakes could get any lighter? Me neither… but they did. For the 2012 model year, Formula brakes bring us more carbon, polished silver and kevlar.
White Industries
White Industries continues to be one of our best selling US manufactured brands. This year they are introducing a really cool concept… VERY easy pedal removal, they also continue to impress us with their precision machining and sweet freewheels!

We were welcomed to the Ergon booth by Albert with a high-five and he began to show us around. Ergon has always been known to bring comfort to us riders in great looking form and this year they continue their legacy. The newest addition to the Ergon line is the SM3 Saddle, co-designed with Selle Italia, it is sure to be the ultimate in comfort without sacrificing looks and weight. Their grips continue to be one of our top sellers, however all they underwent was slight name change to simplify the line. No need to change perfection.

Lezyne = Bling, however that’s the second in line behind function. Lezyne’s Mark Mozart walked us around the booth showing us the changes for 2012. The biggest change to their pumps is their new chuck design. Lezyne also introduces a new line of lights that is sure to be a top competitor, featuring a 450 lumen light at only $110! Not happy to stop at with the trail tools, pumps and accessories they’re known for this year they showed us some cool new shop level tools like a pedal wrench made with wood, and an incredibly robust 3-way hex wrench with replaceable bits.

We arrived at Interbike this season with a huge list of meetings set up, and a long list of products and companies to cover. What we didn’t expect was the weather. Cloudy skies and rainy weather in a usually sunny Las Vegas. Even more reason for us to spend some time in the convention hall bringing you some new goodies.
