Bont Sub-9 Triathlon Cycling Shoes – 40% OFF!!!

wpcadmin — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 00:42:00 +0000

Getting the right fit is essential for comfort and performance. You have heard terms like ‘custom fit’ but what do they mean? Most manufacturers define custom fit as a shoe with a small amount of moldability in the upper. Some also have a very small degree of heat moldability in the base. When we say this shoe is heat moldable, we really mean it. You can mold the sub-9 in any home oven and the amount of moldability is outrageous. If a shoe doesn’t fit properly, you can’t train or race at your optimum.

The sub-9 has a two piece tongue that opens the shoe right up making it very easy for you to slip your foot in for a fast transition. Add to that, Bonts’ patent pending built in shoe horn lets you put your shoe on with just one finger. This shoe also has a shoe protector for the heel which protects the shoe during the transition. Not to mention the full carbon sole for unbelievable transfer of power with each pedal stroke.

The Sub-9 is available in Silver Shiny Microfiber.

ASSOS of Switzerland. Clothing that’s simply the best!

wpcadmin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 17:58:31 +0000

ASSOS designs and manufactures high-quality road cycling clothing and created the first Lycra cycling shorts. Based on its Cycling Body R&D philosophy, the company focuses on clothing that is comfortable and tailored to the cyclist’s riding position. When you’re wearing Assos, you don’t even think about your clothing as it’s like a second skin.

ASSOS offers a collection of jerseys, shorts, jackets, undergarments and various accessories that are designed to be used in combination for varying weather conditions, while being esthetically pleasing and timeless in fashion and function.

Comfortable shorts are the essence of cycling. ASSOS therefore offers 3 different styles plus 1 specific “lady” cycling shorts. The most expensive is not necessarily the best solution. Anatomy, riding style and preferences are an individual matter. This is why the ASSOS cycling shorts collection features specific solutions, covering different needs.
“The shorts’ name is normally preceded by the letter T or H.
T designates bib-shorts, H designates half-shorts.”

All-around training and racing shorts

Long-distance comfort shorts

Assos RainCap S7 Winter Cap

Fits like a traditional cycling cap but is waterproof and breathable. Genius! It’s a light cycling cap made with slightly elastic anti-rain TRITON fabric, featuring taped seams. Use it as an insulation / protection cap in harsh weather conditions.

ASSOS Chamois Crème

To further increase riding comfort, we recommend the use of ASSOS Chamois Crème. The ASSOS Chamois Crème reduces friction and keeps your skin cooler. It prevents inflammation and has antibacterial properties. Apply directly on the skin before each ride. Furthermore, after every laundering, apply a thin layer onto the shorts’ chamois. This is to maintain suppleness, elasticity and antibacterial properties. Used by many professionals regardless of the brand of their shorts.
ASSOS Chamois Crème – simply a must. Don’t leave home without it!

Assos Skin repair gel

The Assos Skin repair gel is suitable for relieving discomfort and repairing skin damage caused by friction in the chamois region against the saddle. Effective, long-acting performance due to the use of natural ingredients with an anti-irritant, skin normalizing action, which aids the normal tissue repair processes. Formula based on natural ingredients, containing no colorants, perfume or preservatives. Suitable for men and women, all skin types. After cycling and showering the gel can be put on a dry and clean skin. It’s not necessary to massage after applying the gel.
