BROMPTON ENGINEERING πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈβœ¨

this is what compact bike design looks like.

brompton folding bikes are PACKED with engineering. everything is optimized. nothing is wasted. shift cables routed perfectly. brakes tuned for small wheels. gearing dialed for city riding. folding mechanism that works flawlessly.

the brompton isn't just a gimmick or a novelty. it's a masterclass in mechanical design. every component serves a purpose. every cable, every pivot, every adjustment point is thought through. it's engineering at its finest.

here's what makes them special:

DESIGN:
>>> compact frame that folds in seconds
>>> 16-inch wheels (small but efficient)
>>> 3-speed or 6-speed gearing (perfect for city)
>>> lightweight aluminum construction
>>> everything is accessible for maintenance

ENGINEERING:
>>> shift cables routed for smooth operation
>>> brakes tuned specifically for small wheels
>>> folding hinges that are bombproof
>>> chainring and cogs optimized for city speeds
>>> every fastener has a purpose

MAINTENANCE:
>>> surprisingly easy to service
>>> parts are standardized and available
>>> cable routing is logical and clean
>>> no weird proprietary stuff

we service a lot of bromptons. commuters love them. tourists love them. digital nomads love them. and they're surprisingly fun to work on because the engineering is so clean and logical.

if you've got a brompton that needs tuning, adjustment, or maintenance, we're here. we know them inside out. or if you're thinking about getting one for commuting or travel, we can help you choose and set it up perfectly.

YETI SB130 INFINITY SWITCH πŸš΅β€β™‚οΈβš™οΈ

this is what modern suspension engineering looks like.

the Infinity Switch is yeti's game-changing suspension platform. it's a virtual pivot system that fundamentally changes how a bike behaves. sounds complicated. it's actually genius.

here's the technical breakdown:

WHAT IS IT:
>>> virtual pivot suspension (VPS) system
>>> adjusts pivot point based on terrain and forces
>>> no manual switching, no modes to dial
>>> patent-pending technology exclusive to yeti

HOW IT WORKS:
>>> climbs like a hardtail (efficient pedaling, minimal bob)
>>> descends like a full suspension (plush, controlled, confidence-inspiring)
>>> automatically transitions between the two
>>> zero rider input needed

THE RESULT:
>>> fast climbs without energy loss
>>> smooth descents without compromise
>>> versatile on any terrain
>>> one setup for everything

this is the kind of engineering we service and support. we know yeti inside and out. we've got parts, we've got expertise, we've got the tools to keep these bikes running perfectly.

whether you've got a yeti that needs love, or you're thinking about upgrading to something special, we're here. we'll service it, tune it, and keep it dialed.

TIRE SIDEWALL CHECK βš οΈπŸ›ž

this is what we're looking for on every bike that comes in.

tire sidewalls crack. it happens. UV exposure, age, humidity, constant flexing. in our climate with intense sun and salt air, tires deteriorate faster than you'd think. but here's the critical thing - a cracked sidewall isn't just cosmetic. it's a safety issue.

here's the physics: the sidewall is the structural support of the tire. when it cracks, the tire loses integrity. the rubber can't hold the pressure properly. you could get a blowout at speed. imagine that happening on a downhill or in traffic. not fun. not safe.

this is why we check tires on every service. we look for:
>>> cracks in the sidewall (like this one)
>>> bulges or blisters (sign of internal damage)
>>> worn tread depth (less grip = less control)
>>> cuts or punctures (obvious damage)

if we see damage, we tell you straight up. no upsell, no pressure. sometimes it's just replacement time. that's it.

tire replacement is cheap insurance. a blowout at speed is expensive and dangerous.

bring your bike in for a FREE tire inspection. we'll tell you exactly what you're working with. no obligation.

BB90 EXPLAINED πŸš²βš™οΈ

trek's BB90 is one of the most talked-about bottom brackets in cycling. so what actually is it? let's break it down.

BB90 is a press-fit bottom bracket system. instead of external cups screwing onto the frame like traditional threaded BBs, the bearing cartridge presses directly into the frame shell. it's a modern design that's become standard on high-end bikes.

here's the technical breakdown:

DESIGN:
>>> press-fit cartridge presses directly into frame shell
>>> sealed bearing unit (no exposed bearings)
>>> lighter weight than threaded systems
>>> stiffer frame-to-crank connection
>>> cleaner aesthetic (no external cups)

PERFORMANCE:
>>> direct bearing contact = efficient power transfer
>>> sealed design = protected from dirt and moisture
>>> lighter = better stiffness-to-weight ratio
>>> common on trek, specialized, giant, cannondale, and other modern frames

MAINTENANCE:
>>> keep it clean (wash gently, don't pressure wash the BB area)
>>> listen for creaking (sign of wear)
>>> replace cartridge when it wears out (sealed unit, not serviceable)
>>> that's it. simple.

the BB90 is solid engineering. it's designed for performance and durability on modern bikes. if you own a trek or any modern frame, this is likely what you're running.

IT'S NOT RUST 🚨

sometimes the problem isn't what you think it is.

this shifter boot is DONE. completely cracked and deteriorating. and here's what most riders don't realize: ignoring this is expensive.

here's the scenario: water gets inside the shifter through the cracks. corrodes the internals. suddenly your shifting is sluggish or dead. now you need a $200 shifter replacement instead of a $20 boot.

shifter boots fail because of:
>>> UV exposure (sun damage)
>>> Salt air (we're on an island)
>>> Constant flexing (every shift)
>>> Humidity and moisture

in our climate, they don't last forever. but here's the good news: catching it early saves you money AND keeps your bike running smooth.

this is preventive maintenance 101. we check these on every service. we catch the small stuff before it becomes the big stuff. because that's how you avoid expensive repairs down the line.

bring your bike in for a FREE component check. we'll spot the problems before they become expensive. no pressure, no upsell. just honest diagnostics.

Every commute starts with a moment like this. Just you, your bike, and a bag packed for the day ahead. It’s not about the gear or the speed. It’s about showing up, rain or shine, and making the ride part of your life.

We see it every week. Riders who trust their bikes to carry them through traffic, through weather, through the everyday. That’s why we check every detail, from chain to brake, so you can roll out with confidence.

Thinking about joining the commuter crew? Come by the shop, call us, or drop a DM. We’ll get your ride sorted so you can focus on the journey. πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ’š

CHAIN WEAR 101: WHY IT MATTERS πŸ”—πŸ”

this little blue tool is called a CC-2 chain checker. and honestly? it's one of the most important tools in our workshop.

here's the reality: chains wear out. it's not a question of IF, it's WHEN. and in our island climate - humidity, salt air, monsoons - rust accelerates everything. a worn chain doesn't just skip gears. it destroys your cassette. it destroys your chainring. suddenly that $50 chain replacement becomes a $500 problem.

we check chain wear on EVERY service. catching it early saves you money. more importantly, it keeps you safe. a broken chain on the road at speed? that's dangerous.

most riders ignore their chain until it snaps. they don't realize they've already damaged the drivetrain. by then, the bill is massive.

here's what we do:
>>> check your chain with the CC-2 (catches wear at .5mm)
>>> if it's worn, we replace it BEFORE it damages other parts
>>> if it's new, we document it so you know when to check again

this is preventive maintenance. this is why we're obsessed with bearings, brakes, and drivetrains. because every component matters.

bring your bike in for a FREE chain check this week. we'll tell you exactly what you need - nothing more, nothing less.

THIS IS WHY WE RIDE πŸ”οΈπŸ”₯

mountains don't care about your excuses. they just reward those who show up with their bikes dialed in and their minds ready.

look at this view. 2000m up. nothing but sky, valleys, and the sound of your own breathing. this is the moment your bike needs to be PERFECT.

here's the real talk: maintenance isn't boring. it's the difference between crushing your adventure and being stranded on a mountain. bearings need to roll smooth. brakes need to stop hard. drivetrain needs to shift crisp. everything matters when you're out there.

year-end adventure season is HERE. before you head out on your next expedition - whether it's kithulgala, nuwara eliya, or beyond - bring your bike in for a full service. we'll make sure every component is ready for the climb πŸ’ͺ

limited slots this week. don't wait until January when everyone's scrambling.

ASSEMBLY DONE RIGHT HITS DIFFERENT πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈβœ…

yeah, your bike came "pre-assembled" from the factory. but that doesn't mean it's ready to ride. headset needs dialing in, brakes need bleeding, drivetrain needs tuning, wheels need truing. little things that make a HUGE difference.

this is what proper assembly looks like - everything torqued to spec, tested, and ready to perform. your bike deserves that level of care before it hits the road.

bring your new bike in. we'll do it right. no shortcuts πŸ’ͺ

RIM TAPE SLIPPING = FLAT TIRE INCOMING 🚨

see this? rim tape that's not centered exposes spoke holes. your tube pushes through, gets pinched, and BAM - you're stranded on the side of the road with a flat.

this is a common problem people ignore until it's too late. rim tape needs to be perfectly centered to protect your tube from the sharp spoke ends. if it slides, your ride is done.

bring your wheels in for a full inspection. we'll re-tape them properly and make sure your rims are dialed in. don't let a simple fix turn into a roadside disaster πŸ’ͺ
