Never lose a bottle again with these incredible Silca Sicuro anodised titanium bottle cages. This lightweight design doesn't mark your bottles, allows easy access, and holds your bottles on the worst terrain.In Silca's quest to create the ultimate bottle cage, they found themselves completely fascinated by the look, feel, and durability of tubular titanium construction. This combination of design characteristics produces a cage that has better retention on gravel and other harsh surfaces and has proven to be the superior design when mounted on the underside of the down tube, so common in adventure riding and touring. While classic in appearance, this material, and its manufacturing are as complex and high tech as it gets.Cleaning and care: Oils from your hands and fingers can change the anodized colour. To revive colour and/or clean the cages, use rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products, this will damage the anodised finish. Please note, bolts are not included with the bottle cage.Key FeaturesSingle Cage,Rainbow anodized finish,Seamless 3-2.5 titanium tubing,30 g,21mm fore/aft adjustment,Hand bent in Indianapolis,Easy in-and-out,Extremely secure design,Laser welded,Optimized for purist bottles .
Traditionally, mountain cleats have only had two material options. Mild steel and brass. This has largely been to ensure that the cleat wore out faster than the pedal interface, but has left us with cleats that are often times very fast wearing, and in all cases, are quite heavy.?Enter 6/4 Titanium, only slightly less hard than tool or spring steel used in the pedals, it's a remarkable 2.25 times stronger and 3 times harder than brass or mild steel. Best of all, the extreme toughness and abrasion resistance of 6Al/4V titanium means that you can expect 300-400% wear life compared to traditional materials.?Now the Silca team couldn't just stop there. By combining 3D printing technology with this material that is 1/3 lighter than steel, they are able to achieve a cleat with internal lattice structure (called a gyroid) which maintains stiffness and strength while reducing weight to create a cleat set that is half the weight of a standard cleat set.?This savings of 25-30 grams per set of cleats is significant over time, particularly in CX events where running is crucial.Key Features:25gm reduction x 100 rpm = 180kg of mass not lifted per hour of riding, 90kg per leg!,Key features,Shimano SPD 24g, 30g lighter than stock,Crank Brothers 22g, 24g lighter than stock,Time 22g, 26g lighter than stock,6V/4AL Titanium,3D Printed in Indianapolis,4x life expectancy of brass.
Pack of 4 low-profile head saves weight while providing appropriate clearance for the bottle. The flange head better distributes load across nearly 3x more surface area than a cap screw and more than 2x the surface area of a button head providing both increased rigidity and lower stress.Each screw is machined complete in one operation from 6Al/4V Titanium on a Swiss Lathe. Threads are roll formed for peak strength and material grain alignment in the finished screw. Key Features6Al/4V Titanium,Four M5x12mm,4mm Head Height,1.8g each,Machined for a T25 Torx.
Since 1917 all Silca pumps have used steam pressure-formed leather cup washers to achieve high pressures. The 731 (formally 73.1) is the classic 28mm diameter washer used on pumps produced between 1917 and 2008. In 2008, Pista and SuperPista pumps moved from steel barrels with 28mm inner diameter, to aluminium barrels with 30mm diameter. The 741 (formally 74.1) Leather Washer fits all 2008 and later pumps with 30mm inner diameter.Since the 1960's all SILCA leather washers have come from the same leather converting house in the fashion district of Milan, Italy. For more than 5 decades the same supplier has cut these washers from the excess material left over from the production of exotic handbags, Italian luxury cars interiors, and high-fashion luggage. A small press is used to hand cut and then pressure form these washers from pieces of leather otherwise sent to the trash. Silca receives these parts by the hundred and it is always fun to sift through them looking at the various finishes and textures while thinking about the exotic sports car interior, $2000 briefcase, or handcrafted luggage sets from which they share history.From a purely functional standpoint, inexpensive o-rings are most commonly used in this application, but no o-ring can match the smooth feel and zero-stiction action of a leather gasket. It is common today to find Silca leather gasket pumps throughout the professional peloton (especially during the spring classics) as o-ring seal pumps struggle with heat and often are unable to seal once the pump barrel is hot from inflating more than a few wheels.Key Features731 Fits 28mm internal diameter Pista and Super Pista pumps (pre-2008),741 Fits 30mm internal diameter Pista and Super Pista pumps (post-2008),Made from finest quality full grain leather,Produced by hand on the same equipment continuously since 1960,NEW! Updated from 2.25 to 2.50mm thick leather for improved durability,Handcrafted in Milan, Italy.

The Silca SuperPista Digital Floor Pump addresses the only issues that the traditional track pumps cant achieve. Easy to gauge pressure - the gauge is mounted high up, it's also illuminated and you get an audio alarm making the SuperPista Digital Floor Pump much easier to monitor accurate tyre pressuresThis third generation Silca SuperPista combines all of the handcrafted elements which have made SuperPista the go-to pump of the ProTour for more than 30 years, with our two most mechanic and consumer requested features: a high accuracy digital gauge, and gauge readout located at the top of the barrel for easier reading.Built more like a suspension fork than a traditional pump, the SuperPista combines a full metal shock piston design with the classic Italian leather plunger washer and German Igus linear bearings to create the highest efficiency, smoothest running SuperPista to date. The oversized aluminium base provides more than 2x the stability of other designs while still being optimized for use with cycling shoes. The lathe turned Ash handle is a geometric copy of the SuperPista Ultimate handle and provides the ultimate in comfort and ergonomics.A first for SILCA pumps, the SuperPista also utilizes a top-mount hose design with top mount magnetic chuck storage. This puts the chuck right at the hands of the user reducing back strain and eliminates bending over to access or store the chuck. As with the Ultimate pump, the SuperPista now comes standard with the multi-award winning HIRO chuck. This full metal chuck was originally designed for ultra-high pressure track use, but mechanics have since found that they prefer it for its compact size, adjustability, and extreme holding ability on all valve and valve extension designs. Key FeaturesHigh-mount digital gauge with backlight, adjustable pressure alarm and adjustable pressure units,Full-size Ash wood handle with secure carrier strap,High-efficiency 28mm SILCA leather plunger piston design,Brass air check-valve assembly,Alloy barrel with plated steel piston shaft,Long filler hose with integrated Schrader chuck.,Hiro locking-lever Presta chuck with a magnetic dock,Rated to 220psi.
Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant combines the power of carbon fibre with a long lasting natural latex formula to achieve sealing properties beyond that of special race day formulas, while matching or exceeding the life expectancy of long-lasting formulas.The key is a high percentage fill of recycled, chopped carbon fibre strands which are held in suspension by the foaming action of the sealant within the tire. Upon puncture, the sealant rushes to escape the hole, carrying thousands of carbon filaments which serve to dam up the opening, just like sticks of a beaver dam blocking a stream. This dam of fibre collects more fibre and what was one large hole, is now turned into hundreds of smaller holes for the sealant to seal. Fiberfoam technology has proven to seal up to 7.5mm holes and cuts at gravel pressures and up to 5mm holes at higher road pressures. Even better, the carbon fibre/latex plug formed at the puncture has proven to be more than twice as strong over time as latex only or latex with crystals or glitter. While most sealants claim they can plug holes up to 6+mm, they can also be injected into the tyre through the 3mm hole in your valve stem with some injectors using tips as small as 2mm. The power of carbon fibre makes this impossible, Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant will instantly plug your injection syringe or your valve as the fibres stack up to block the opening. In solving this issue, the Silca team has developed Ultimate Tubeless Sealant into a system that will save you time and money in the long run. The initial installation of Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant must be done by pouring into the tyre cavity rather than injecting through the valve. However, unlike other sealants which must be completely replaced every 3-6 months, Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant has a special Replenisher which can be pumped through the valve and can extend the sealant life to well over 1 year depending on your climate. This means less wasted sealant, and less hassle over time as there is no need to remove the old sealant at each service interval, in many cases, the sealant may outlast the tyre.

All the benefits, none of the hassle. The Silca Super Secret Chain Lube combines the speed and silent running of a hot-melt wax-dipper chain to a drip applied wax lubricant. The Secret Chain Lube also utilises the world’s fastest, most lubricious additive, nano-scale Tungsten Disulfide for maximum drive chain performance.The Super Secret Chain Lube started as a project to develop the fastest hot-melt wax lubricant in early 2019. Josh Poertner, CEO of Silca, has been recommending hot melt wax and helping pro cyclists and triathletes wax chains for years and he wanted to bring the performance advantages to Silca customers too.The project took a major turn from the world of IndyCar when Poertner was introduced to a group who had developed a technology to put micro-scale wax powders into quick drying solutions that form a coating that is indiscernible from hot melt dipping in crock pots.The combination of air-drying liquid wax and Tungsten Disulfide quickly proved to beat all currently available hot melt waxes in friction testing while being much faster to apply.The nano platelets of WS2 (Tungsten Disulfide) in the Super Secret Chain lubes has less than 1/3 the dynamic coefficient friction of PTFE and ¼ that of Molybdeum Disulfide (MoS2).The lube formula is also environmentally friendly, utilising 4 different types if wax and a mild alcohol to act as a carrier.Learn how to best apply the Silca Super Secret Lube.Key Features: Low friction lube that brings the same advantages as hot-melt wax-dipped chains ,with the convenience of drip applied lubricants,Highly lubricious Tungsten Disulfide additive,Environmentally friendly formula,The chain should be very clean before application,Leave chain to dry for at least 30 minutes before riding.
With the introduction of the pocket impero last season and the amazing reviews it received as a 'mini-pump that actually works' and 'a mini-pump so sweet you might look forward to flatting' (bicycling magazine), silca became inundated with requests for a frame mount pump 'that actually works'.10 months of development later and they've created tattico, a 'tactical' mini-pump designed to be large enough to work well, while being small enough in footprint that it can nearly disappear alongside a bottle cage on your high-end bike. The tattico is also the first silca portable pump since the 1950's to use a hose.Silca have cleverly positioned the hose inside the inner barrel where it is able to slide in and out of the end of the pump without being removed or having to thread in place. The hose attaches with a compression gasket activated by a small aluminium lever. In classic silca fashion, the compression gasket it reversible for presta or schrader.
In a 2014 interview, Josh told slowtwitch.com that latex inner tubes were the biggest bang for the buck upgrade a cyclist could make. For many years, latex inner tubes were limited to tubular tires, where they are largely responsible for both the puncture resistance and ride quality of the finest tubular tires.Now, Silca has partnered with Vittoria, to create the highest quality, lowest rolling resistance, finest riding inner tube, sized for modern clincher tire setups.Why latex? compared to standard bicycle inner tubes which are made of butyl rubber, latex is significantly more elastic (10x elongation compared to 2-3x), but more importantly, latex rubber has significantly lower coefficient of damping which means that when latex rubber is stretched or flexed, it returns to shape faster and with fewer energy losses.What does this mean for an inner tube? latex inner tubes are generally 2-5 watts (per tire) more efficient at 30mph than tubes made of other materials, are harder to pinch-flat, and offer superior suppleness and road feel, especially when combined with supple, low rolling resistance tires.This tube has been sized to fit tires measuring 24-30mm, which will equate to 23-28mm tires used on modern wider rims. valve stem length is 42mm and will work in all modern disc wheels.
