Nutritional Products
I stock a good selection of products from Hammer Nutrition, Nuun, and fluid - supplements that I really believe in based on my years as a coach and athlete. After years of experience in ultra-endurance MTB races, I can give you expert advice on how to incorporate these into your riding and training for greater speed and faster recovery.
D2 Custom Cycling Shoes
Being a small studio means carrying a lot of shoe inventory does not work well. But what if we could help you get fitted for custom shoes? Well, we can. D2 has a great reputation for lightweight, perfectly fitting shoes. If you have odd shaped feet, two feet that are not quite the same, need orthotics (all D2 Custom shoes come with a molded custom orthotic) or just want the ultimate in foot comfort, consider D2.
Giro Eyewear, Gloves, and Helmets
Ever since Greg Lemond debuted their radical (for the time) helmet design to the pro peloton back in the 80's, Giro has been synonymous with innovation and great product design. SVCC carries their helmets, gloves, and eyewear.
Sole Footbeds
Many people are surprised to find shoe insoles in a bike studio but they are an integral part of the bike fitting process and many customers who don't come in for a fit give Sole a try and they are hooked. This is one of our most popular products. We stock the Softec Regular and the Slim Sport models and we can special order anything you need from the complete Sole line. We fit them to your shoes and we can bake them in our toaster oven to mold them if needed.
Power Meters, GPS, Heart Rate Monitors, and Indoor Training Tools
For those who want to take their training to the next level, I offer a number of great options in traditional cycle computer/heart rate monitors as well as power meters. Call or drop by to learn how these products can help you get the most out of your limited training time or just help you enjoy cycling more.
Garmin
Garmin is the "Coke" of the GPS market and they've consistently rolled out exciting new products for the fitness and cycling enthusiast or hard core racer.
PowerTap
I really like the PowerTap wireless power meters and they have the best solution for MTB racers out there. A very versatile system that is built into the rear hub, it can easily be swapped between bikes.
iBike and iAero
I've watched this product for a while and for a long time was skeptical. But recent product improvements and the adoption of the ANT+ interface made me take another look, and I'm convinced. For many athletes iBike is the most cost effective power meter option available.
Quarq
The new kid on the block in power meters, Quarq offers a cool crank-based system similar to SRM at a much more palatable price point.
SRM
SRM created the market for on-bike power measurement, back before most riders or coaches even knew what to do with the data. Their design remains the "gold-standard" in power meter accuracy. Integrated into the crank set, it allows you to continue using your existing wheels, which for many riders is a sizable investment. There are many models to choose from, we can help you select which is best for your needs.
Indoor Trainers
E-Motion Rollers
Noone really likes training indoors but if you are serious about your performance, you'll have to do it eventually. After years of fighting off boredom on indoor trainers we were blown away the first time we trained on E-Motion rollers. Call to learn more about this very innovative trainer.
Stationary Trainers
I sell more traditional indoor trainers from Tacx, Saris/CycleOps, and Kurt Kinetic. Each brand offers something unique, and I can help you make the best choice from among a wide variety of options.
Training Tools
WKO+ Training Analysis Software
I find WKO+ to be the best software available for helping athletes make sense of their training and racing data. It interfaces directly with many of the hardware devices we carry (Garmin, PowerTap, and SRM, to name a few) and greatly enhances your (or your coach's) ability to turn data into information, and information into action.
PowerCranks
You've always heard "pedal circles", but how much time do you really spend doing it? PowerCranks are a very useful useful training tool because they force the rider to improve pedaling dynamics. They can also be a great way to turn short training rides into really effective workouts. I've gotten a lot out of training with them and can help you do the same.
