Top assembly for carbon steerers which replaces traditional top cap and star nut assemblies.
A unique build requires a unique cockpit. The Ritchey Classic Flat Bar is a refined version of its high-performance predecessors and features a classy high-polish silver finish and a 5-degree backsweep without changing reach.
Features include a highly durable cover, anti-slip side panels and a reinforced shell.
Speed Wing, the innovative outer plate, ensures particularly rapid and silent shifting on Connex 11-speed chains. The newly developed peripheral chamfering of the outer plate ensures optimum chain guide and gear-changing performance. And for optimal absorption of the high shear forces through extreme transmission, Connex have implemented a completely innovative process for radial riveting. This process, in combination with a special pin coating, guarantees top performance and long wear.
These custom, Swiss made bearings are double sealed, fully serviceable and removable which give much greater life span than stock units. The bearings are made (as all Hope bearings are) by INA and have been designed to run directly on the crankset axle, without the use of shims or spacers -again increasing life and reliability. Hope use a non contact, free running labyrinth seal to protect the bearing externally, and the machined aluminium centre tube is sealed internally with o-rings. The unit is suitable for 73mm and 83mm shell width's.
With a design inspired by MTB tyres developed with Julien Absalon, Black Mamba CX TT combines lightness and fast rolling. Its numerous exposed knobs guarantee exceptional performance. Its tread favours speed and rapid spurts. Its Race Riposte rubber side knobs inspired by Cobra guarantee good side grip.
It also works great when cutting handlebars or other round tubes from 22mm to 33mm. Simply clamp the SG-6 onto the tube and cut, letting the SG-6 guide the hacksaw blade. The SG-6’s non scratching composite body incorporates steel threads and a steel reinforcing plate to withstand the rigors of heavy shop use.
These Ritchey seatpost clamp saddle clamps are necessary in order to assemble saddles with carbon rails of 7x9.6mm and 8x8.5mm on the Ritchey alloy 1-bolt seatpost and on the "Stubby" seatpost.

The seamless structure and the specific heat treatment used at the end of the work cycle, guarantee great reliability and resistance to flexure.
It offers high levels of torional stiffness and features lightweight AL 7075 T6 reinforced chainrings that feature the Total Treatment hardening process.
This latest evolution of the BB introduced by FSA belongs to the press fit family. It has a symmetrical BB shell but with the same overall width of a BSA BB including the cups.
FSA headsets are carefully engineered and updated to deliver the highest performance and value. Headset Guide click here
Available in a choice of either anodised silver or black, they are excellent value & a good choice for audax and winter bike builds.
The protection offered against penetration and pinch flats is 300% better than standard tyres. Panaracer's new Mile Cruncher rubber compound ensures long life durability, fantastic grip and great ride comfort. The All Contact tread shape optimises tyre performance by minimising rolling resistance and maximising cornering contact with the road.
Furthermore the extremely solid crankarms are made of forged 7075 aluminium with a brush-polished and anodized finish. The Miche Team CPT has a 5-arm spider with 110mm BCD and uses the axle profile which is compatible with JIS squared bottom bracket (with a 68mm case width and with an axle length of 107mm).
This road bike bottom bracket is suitable for use with both carbon and alloy BB30 cranksets. Designed for versatility, it comes equipped with stainless steel cartridge bearings that are pre-installed in nylon cups for smooth rotative performance on every mile. Compatible with BB386 EVO, 46mm pressfit (PF30), and BBRight frame standards, this FSA PF30 road bottom bracket is a great choice for reliable and consistent crank operation. One final highlight is it's developed with clearance to allow for the internal routing of wiring for Di2 or other electronic shifting systems. For SL-K Light, Energy, Gossamer Pro, Gossamer, Assault, Vision TriMax and Omega BB30 chainsets. Manufacturer's Part Number: 200-3112 Black PF30
Kinesiology taping is designed to improve the body's natural healing process by helping to increase blood flow around the muscle. It is non-restrictive, allowing for a full range of motion; the wave pattern adhesive backing moves with the skin and muscles.
The shoulder knobs were borrowed from the legendary Minion DHF and then beefed up to handle duty as a rear tyre with the centre tread being heavily ramped and siped to roll fast and track straight under braking. Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimise traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of their 3C Triple Compound mountain technology; Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip. 3C Maxx Terra Compound Maxx Terra is an intermediate compound configuration used in select mountain bike tyres. It is softer and offers more traction than their 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than their Maxx Grip. EXO Protection Technology An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants.
