BE Tips

 

Tip #1

Hydrate!  Always carry water with you, to much is better than not enough!  You never know when the next heat wave will hit and you dont want to be dehydrated on the trail.  So drink up before and after or pay the consequences!

Tip #2
Wear a helmet whenever you are riding!  You know what they say 10$ helmet, 10$ head.  Its the best investment a cyclist can make. 

Tip #3
Before you leave for you cycling vacation, make sure to take your bicycle into the shop at least 2 weeks before hand just make sure your bicycle is running in top form!  Last minute repairs may end up being a disaster. 

Santa Cruz World Tour/Customer Group Ride

 Santa Cruz World Demo Tour has finally made it back to California with the first stop at CBE!  Kirt Voreis and his wife Lindsay are making way through our area to hold a Santa Cruz Bicycles Demo!  We will have Blur XC's, Blur LT's, Nomads', VP Free's, Jackals, and V10's for anyone who is interested.  So here is what you need to do.  Call CBE and RSVP the model you are interested in, show up that day ready to roll!  Don't forget to bring your shoes, pedals and helmet.  Once everyone has been checked in and the time is right, we will all leave together in critical mass style through town and into the canyon.

Calling all Santa Cruz owners!
If you already have a Santa Cruz model and you just want to get in on the action show up with your bike and join us on our group ride!  Tell your friends and make sure they tell their friends!  Refreshments to follow! 


There is no fee for this event.  This event takes off at 9AM Saturday, Sept. 16th!  If you miss this one, you could just very well miss the ride opportunity of a lifetime..

Formula Brakes are the new revolution in hydraulic disc brakes for Mountain bikes.  It's the official brake of Yuba Expeditions which holds the Downieville Classic each year.  They produce more lever force than any brake in their class and weigh less than any equivelant brake.  They are back in full force and available in all models even old formula is in stock for those who are looking for the neccessary parts.  Rumor has it that Formula designed the first juicy 7 but it wasnt good enough and out with the old and in with the new Puro.  Test a setup at our store!
