Attaquer Cycling Kits
Cyclists in many respects can be very eccentric people and their apparel can surely match their personality. Sometimes its hard to find non-custom cycling clothing that suite riders style as they would prefer. Attaquer makes clothing that appeals to the eccentric style as well as some more conservative pieces for others. Most of their jerseys are compiled with Swiss-made Eschler fabrics while their lycra shorts feature a two-piece chamois with race fabric or all day fabric.

Crankbrothers Candy 7
It seems that this year the an El Nino is going to hit the West pretty hard, that means a lot of road grit that might clog up and damage your road pedals. Crankbrothers pedals are perfect for wet and gritty conditions with their open cleat engagement that doesn’t get interfered by grime. The Candy 7 is Crankbrothers semi-platform clipless design that gives a better contact patch for your shoe to increase stability on the pedal. The Candy 7 uses a Chromoly axle, CNC body, stainless steel springs and engagement wings. Internally the Candy 7 uses a double seal to detract dirt into the pedal, a glide bearing close to the crank, and an Enduro roller bearing at the end of the spindle.
