29er.....


Just finished building up a 29er with Silver Aireal XC hubs and EV2 Headset - it rolls so, so smoothly - what a beauty. We are very proud of this build.

What a beautiful world........



What a way to spend the long weekend - camping and riding.
Brilliant stuff.

We found a great spot on the coast to test out our Aireal XC hubs and want to share some piccies with you. Yes, we rode and carried and pushed our bikes to get to the top of both these super spots - hard work but worthwhile for the views - but if you want to know where these piccies were taken you will have to leave a post to find out. Cheeky hey!!! Sorry - but we don't want every man and their dog to be there next time we want a weekend away.......

Some super Aireal news - Aireal Road hubs have just been on display at Interbike at the Velocity stand. Tom from Velocity built up a set of our black Aireal road hubs into his Velocity rims and we are waiting, waiting, waiting excitedly and patiently to hear back from Tom about the reception he received in the US.

And the team at Aireal wish great racing to Nathan Dyke competing in the Tour of Tasmania this week on Campag compatible Aireal road hubs.

Well that was a while ago.......


Thought I'd finally put up some pictures from our trip to the Adelaide race - thanks for a great weekend guys.
These piccies show some beautiful country and some of the easier parts of the tough course.....

Westward bound......

Off to Adelaide at the end of the week for one of the Aireal team to race in the Foxy1000 - just for a bit of fun and punishment. That should put us far enough away from all the APEC hoo ha!! Keep tuned for some pictures of the road trip and race.

What beautiful weather for us here now - clear, blue skies but still a bit of a crisp frost to start the day - a great time of year. Makes that winter worthwhile after all!

Violet all the way.....


Well........finally it is finished. Austen's bike! How awesome do those hubs and headset look - what a great effect. It apparently rides well too.

If you've got a piccie of your ride with Aireal components on it please send it in - we love showing off your favourite things.

Dusty and cold......




I was wrong about the possibility of mud - it was so dry in Canberra, so dusty, and a little bit chilly too. That cold wind whipped off the snowy mountains and right into that pine forest. I have included a few shots of the start of the racing - but I deleted the "oops"one that just had legs and wheels in it.

Congratulations to CORC and Bright Orange Events for putting on such a great race with good facilities too - and to Bright Orange Events and KHS for a great 8hr Series.

I highly recommend you go see "24-Solo"- it was a fantastic insight into the preparation and exertion that goes into competing in one of these 24 Hr events. It also highlights the stark differences between the fully sponsored, supported rider and the one who just gets in there and has a go on limited funds. And the winner is..... well, we all know who won. All those at the premiere were privileged to hear Craig Gordon talk about his experiences in this event - an extraordinary fellow doing what he loves. Thanks for sharing with us Craig.
