In 1974 Mike Sinyard's Specialized Bicycle Components company was founded on the premise of supplying products to shops that they couldn't get elsewhere. In 1981 the Specialized Stumpjumper was the first real mountain bicycle ever to hit the floors of many bike shops across America. Since then, Specialized has marketed a full line of bicycles, clothing, shoes, helmets, tires, tools, saddles and more, each designed to be better than competing products. "Innovate or die" is the motto that drives Specialized to constantly push the envelope of design, technology and performance.
Haro puts a lot of heart and soul into building bikes. The same kind of heart and soul Bob Haro invested nearly 30 years ago when he founded the company and invented the sport you're enjoying today. Not much has changed since then, still building 'em because they're fun to ride.
Mirraco began operations in February of 2006. It’s “a rider owned company” like many others that started because the founders loved the sport and wanted to do something on their own, rather than just riding for some big company. Unlike other rider owned companies, Mirraco was founded by the sport’s most famous athlete, Dave Mirra. Having won more X-Games Gold medals than any other competitor, Dave has credentials that no other rider or bike company founder has ever combined in starting a company.
Dave is determined to be as successful in business as he is in riding by applying that same determination, work ethic, and passion to designing and marketing a line of products that bear his name. He knows the expectations of riders everywhere will be high and Mirraco plans to deliver products that exceed those expectations in performance, quality, and attention to detail.

#1 IN PERFORMANCE
Over 100 years of developing and producing bicycle tires has made Continental world famous. From all-around models, to off-road rubber, to gossamer world-championship wonders, every product reflects classic German engineering and the very highest standards
Conti's GP4000 introduces a host of innovations never before seen in the world of bike tires. The tread pattern has been moved to the shoulders to increase traction in the corners. Tread wear indicators show the wear rate of the tire, eliminating guessing. The ultimate highlight however, is the introduction of Vectran. It's a polymer membrane that offers exceptional puncture protection and reduces rolling resistance, all at a race-ready weight.
The Contact is the jack-of-all-trades among city and touring tires. A uniform center tread ensures a smooth and speedy ride on the road. Flexible shoulder lugs and fine sipes guarantee grip in curves and on loose surfaces. And, it's extremely resistant to punctures thanks to Continental's SafetySystem, a polyamide nylon strip placed just under the tread.
Continental's Ultra GatorSkin combines 3 flat-protection technologies into one fast-riding, high-mileage racing and training tire. It features a super-fine 180 thread-per-inch casing, a bead-to-bead layer of DuraSkin, and is finished with a Kevlar-reinforced top layer. The result is a light tire that rolls and corners with the best of them while providing flat protection second to none.

Kryptonite Locks
In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country. Through innovative product designs, inventive marketing tactics, legendary customer service and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite, the company started in the back of a van, grew with a cult-like following and expanded its product lines to include hardware, powersports and snowsports security.
CHRIS KING
When Chris designed his first headset back in 1976, his idea was simply to create a headset that would last more than a season or two. No one could have known that his efforts would revolutionize the bicycle industry. The Chris King headset has been considered a benchmark of quality for thirty years. No other bicycle component can boast the longevity, performance and absolute reliability of the Chris King headset.
Chris King hubs, some of the most highly sought after components in the bicycle industry, are both engineering masterpieces and examples of meticulous craftsmanship. Those who have taken them apart and seen how they work often compare the precision and detail to that of the inner workings of a watch. Yet they're light, strong and easy to service
It used to be simple choosing bicycle pedals. The ones that came on your bike were the pedals you used. The scene changed drastically, though, in the mid-1980s when pedals went clipless. Now, more than a dozen manufactures offer a wide variety of clipless pedals leaving you with the question: What's best for me?
Richard Bryne, CEO of Speedplay, Inc. and inventor of Light Action, Zero, X-Series, Frog and Pedal Systems, offers the following advice on choosing pedals:
First, he says, look for a clipless pedal system that is user friendly. "If the pedals aren't easy to get in and out of don't bother with them. Whether you're bicycling pavement or a dirt trail, you're going to want to enter and exit your pedals quickly and easily."
"Many clipless pedal systems force you to overcome a 'spring-restrained' jaw system when engaging and disengaging. This action not only makes it harder to get in and out of the pedals but can also put strain on the knees. In contrast, a 'true-locking' mechanism doesn't rely on spring tension for engagement, thereby making the system both user and knee friendly."
Second, you'll want dual-sided pedals. "You don't want to have to look down and kick at a pedal trying to locate the platform after every stop. It can be dangerous and annoying. With dual-sided pedals you just step down and go. No looking, no kicking, just one easy, natural motion. In short, dual-sided pedals let you keep your eyes on the road or trail, which is a safer way to ride a bike."
Third, when choosing a clipless pedal system you'll want to consider float, and the type of float: recentering or non-recentering. "During the pedal stroke, feet follow their natural path, eliminating knee strain. Float improves pedaling efficiency by coaching you to a smoother pedal stroke. Some pedal systems use recentering float in which a spring centering action forces your feet into an unnatural riding position. Non-recentering, or "free float" allows your feet to find the most comfortable station."
