Polaris is a company based in the Peak District of England that distributes their top quality clothing throughout the UK and the rest of Europe.  Polaris customers refuse to buy from anyone else, which is why we at Velo29 are proud to be able to offer this brand for sale!  They say that if you enjoy your sports in harsh and hostile environments, then you should be enjoying them in Polaris cycling clothing (if you want to survive!!).

The all new Shimano 6700 Ultegra groupset is now online at Velo29!  With many of the same improvements as seen in the new 7900 Dura Ace group this is bound to be a popular introduction.  Big changes to the STI levers see a more comfortable and efficient lever with the added benefit of hidden brake and gear cables.  where before it was only the brake cables that were hidden! 

The manufacturer says: ‘Ultegra shares Dura-Ace’s engineering lineage but has its own unique identity, offering greatly enhanced feel and sleek design that’s backed by a new level of performance.
With double and triple options, the more affordable Ultegra simply can’t be matched. ‘

So get it while it’s hot from Velo29!

Velo29 supported their final cyclo-sportive for the 2009 season on the 24th October in horrendous conditions!  The Tour of the Peak organised by Geoff Saxon and his Kilo To Go team sent nearly 1000 riders over a hilly course in the Peak District.  The riders were pitted not only against some of the hardest climbs in the country, but also against treacherous weather conditions!

It would be fair to say that at this event the Velo29 mechanics were kept busier than at any other event this year.  The pre-event bike check had not even finished before the first call out was made, and from then on it was non-stop!  There were snapped chains, split & shredded tyres, crashes and also (inexplicably) a chainset and bottom bracket that had dropped out of the frame!

The Kilo To Go events are a great challenge with a choice of distances to suit different levels of rider… Velo29 reccommends these events for anyone looking for a long distance cycling challenge; for more information visit the Kilo To Go website.

Evolution never stops.  The Dura Ace 7900 series sets a new benchmark in top-level road racing components.  Shimano has combined all its engineering resources with the latest technology to realise an increasing level of perfection that will benefit professional riers as well as many road-racing enthusiasts.  Check out the products here!

Velo29 is proud to announce that it has launched the Velo29 Cycling Team.  The team is based in the North East of England and aims to develop a team capable of challenging in the premier calendar series.  The team consists of a National Standard team and also a development team for local riders.  In it’s first year Velo29 Cycling Team has managed to attract a strong group of riders including divisional and national champions.

The team has already competed at the Girvan, the Melton Cicle Classic, the Lincoln Grand Prix and will be taking part in the Ryedale GP this weekend.  To follow the team visit www.velo29cyclingteam.co.uk.  Thanks also go to Subway for their support in developing the team.

Once again Velo29 packed the car with spare tyres, wheels, chains and tubes to provide breakdown cover for a cycling event.  This time it was 3 days of local events in Richmond… a cyclosportive on the Saturday, a Road Race on the Sunday and grass track racing on the Monday!  A busy weekend for all concerned.  The best day for us was the Grass Track, which provided thrilling racing, great weather and no work for the Velo29 crew!  Saturday’s sportive went smoothly with only a few minor mechanicals, including a snapped rear mech, a broken chain and some sliced up tyres.

Congratulations to Richmond Cycling Club who put on a great weekend of racing!

Velo29 is proud to announce that they are the official rider support for this year’s 5 ride series of Kilo To Go cyclo sportive events.

The Kilo To Go series started on the 29th March in Cheshire and is organised by highly experienced event promoter Geoff Saxon and his team.

Velo29 will be providing rider support in the form of pre-ride bike checks from our team of 4 mechanics. During the race our support vehicle will be driving round the course fixing punctures, mending broken chains and dealing with the plethora of mechanical issues that always occur during epic rides!

Our trade / demo stand will be on display during the events where we’ll have a selection of our brands on show and also a few items for sale such as tyres, tubes, cleats, chains and anything else that might be required in a pre-ride emergency!
