Deep in the hills of Santa Cruz, cyclists are met by a nasty, four-mile, 1800 ft. climb named Alba Road. This respected ascent was the inspiration for the Praxis Works Alba road chainset. With its shapely forged-alloy arms, M24 alloy spindle, LevaTime II X-Spider and chainring, the Alba is ready for anything. LevaTime X-Spider and Chainring This 1x10/11 speed chainset features a LevaTime II (LT2) X-Spider and chainring that's the product of years of relentless testing and tweaking. This all new LT2 X-Spider is even stiffer than the original generation X-Spider. With a new forging design to support the new LT2 5mm plate big rings, this direct mount model keeps things flex-free when it’s time to put the power down. One Shot Forging At Praxis Works, the primary reason it forges its chainring is that it allows them to create dramatically shaped teeth and ramping surfaces. The brand's “One Shot” forging process allows it to make these shapes, and at the same time, create a harder and tougher ring than the competition’s machined rings. Imagine for a second, you have a big hammer and you are hitting a cold block of metal trying to shape it. Now, imagine the hammer is the size of a car and when you swing that hammer you’ve got hundreds to thousands of tons of pressure behind it. It’s a very intense and difficult process that requires a great deal of tooling know-how. This manufacturing process happens to be the brand's specialty. M24 Bottom Bracket This chainset comes complete with a press fit M24/GxP bottom bracket for installing a M24/GxP spindle crank into a BB86 Road or BB90/BB92 MTN Frame. Praxis M24 bottom brackets have a 24mm Drive and a 22mm NonDrive Bearing. These are specifically made for use with Praxis M24 spindle cranks or SRAM GxP spindle cranks. A drive-side wave washer is used for preload of the bearings. This specific press fit M24 bottom bracket is made to be installed in a BB86 Road or BB90/92 MTN frame. Born and based in the cycling mecca of Santa Cruz, California, Praxis creates and manufactures some of the best bicycle parts on the globe. Please note: Image is for demonstration purposes only, actual chainset contains an M24 bottom bracket.

The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is a wide, anatomically curved strap combined with a soft, thermo-formed EVA pad that distributes pressure evenly over the instep area. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is adjustable from both sides, to perfectly center the EVA pad over a high or low instep. The system eliminates the need for the High Instep Extender. The SOFT INSTEP CLOSURE SYSTEM is replaceable. TECNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. SIDI’s famously reliable and replaceable closures are improved by an all new proprietary SIDI Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless on-thefly adjustments. Reinforced cup that stabilizes and supports the heel. Anatomically shaped plastic, reduces heel slip and provides increased power transfer. Provides additional foot protection in the event of a crash.For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE SOLE features injected carbon fiber in a matrix of Nylon, providing more rigidity than a standard nylon sole. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole is also more durable, completely non water-absorbent and mechanically stable, meaning it’s less susceptible to changes in stiffness resulting from aging, prolonged usage, and changes in temperature or humidity. An anti-slip toe insert and replaceable polyurethane heel pad are incorporated into the MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole, for walkability. The MILLENNIUM 4 CARBON COMPOSITE Sole uses a standard 3-hole drilling pattern for compatibility with the best pedal systems available, and includes a printed 10 mm lateral and fore/aft cleat alignment scale on the sole for easy cleat alignment and replacement. ALBA 2 in the special woman version, perfectly fits the female foot in order to perform even better for the ladies. Tapered last mimics a women’s more tapered foot shape Narrower across the ball of the foot Less volume, on the instep area and a narrower heel cup

Whether you enjoy training and racing or ride purely to enjoy the scenery, the Alba 2 Road Shoes give you the comfort and durability you'd expect from Sidi but at a more accessible price point. The upper is made from an advanced and eco-friendly material called 'Politex'. This gives a supple and comfortable fit and, thanks to its unique construction, is highly resistant to ripping, abrasions, stretching and fading. The Alba shoes are truly built to last. Getting the right fit is essential to cycling comfort and here you'll find the combination of Soft Instep Closure 3 system and dual strap adjustment is perfect. The Instep Closure 3 system features a wide, EVA thermo-formed padded strap which spreads pressure evenly over the instep for optimal comfort levels. Adjustment is possible on both sides of the foot to guarantee you can effortlessly dial in comfort and foot-hold to precisely how you like it, even on the go. No fuss. Just twist and go. The dual straps then give quick and easy adjustment of the fit across the mid and lower foot. Millennium 4 Carbon Composite Sole You've trained hard to get fit so why waste your power through a soft sole unit. Injected carbon fibre in a Nylon matrix gives the Millennium 4 Carbon Composite Sole the ideal balance of stiffness, durability and affordability. More rigid than a standard sole, it allows you to get the power to your pedals with optimal efficiency and the carbon fibres also ensure it's less susceptible to a change in performance over the lifetime of your shoes. The anti-slip toe insert and replaceable polyurethane heel pad give you sure-footed non-slip confidence at the cafe stop. Cleat Guidance These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
The “politex” material is constructed of several overlapping layers with different physical-mechanical properties, the compacted PVC is then coupled to two fabrics (knitted fabric + felt) that is then is film dyed for long-lasting colour retention. “Politex” offers strong resistance to ripping, laceration, stretching and fading. “Politex” is made in strict compliance with European regulations and is a totally “green” product. SIDI’s TECHNO-3 SYSTEM dials in fit along the entire length of the shoe, adapting the upper to the shape of the foot for a customized fit. SIDI’s famously reliable and replaceable closures are improved by an all new proprietary SIDI Wire material that is completely non-binding for intuitive and effortless on-the-fly adjustments. Like most SIDI small parts, the TECNO-3 BUCKLE is serviceable and replaceable. The reinforced heel keeps the foot in a optimal position and avoids the shoe being deformed by extreme performance or prolonged pressure. For walkability, Sidi cycling shoes include a replaceable polyurethane heel pad.
