Established in 1946, Galfer has earned a stellar reputation for its high quality and reliable braking products. One of the most popular product lines in Galfer's portfolio is their brake pads. The company offers a variety of compounds to suit different riding conditions and preferences, such as the Standard Compound for everyday use, the Advanced Compound for more aggressive riding, and the Pro Compound for top performance and maximum stopping power. This month, their SRAM Code Disc Brake Pads - Pro Compound are trending. These high-performance brake pads are specifically designed for use with SRAM Code R, Code RSC, and Guide RE disc brakes. The Pro Compound is perfect for riders seeking a brake pad that delivers exceptional braking performance under extreme conditions, such as downhill racing or aggressive trail riding. Galfer also offers a wide variety of brake rotors to further enhance braking performance. Their Wave rotors, for example, are designed to improve heat dissipation and provide a more consistent braking surface. This results in smoother, more efficient braking and increased pad life.
If you're one of the lucky riders who's treated themselves to a new SRAM T-Type Transmission... You'll want to keep one of these in your pack.The SRAM Eagle T-Type PowerLock Flattop Connector Link is specifically designed for use with the SRAM Eagle T-Type Flattop chains, and ensures a secure and seamless connection for optimal chain performance. Even though this system is extremely robust and a snapped chain may very well be statistically impossible, you will still want to carry one of these in your emergency kit for those unforeseeable situations.
Enduro Max bearings are extremely popular for mountain bike suspension linkage rebuilds due to their high-quality construction and performance-enhancing features. Engineered specifically for the demanding conditions faced by mountain bikers, these bearings deliver outstanding durability and smooth operation. You may be wondering “How are these any better than normal bearings?” I’m so glad you asked. Enduro Max bearings utilize 35-40% more ball bearings compared to standard bearings, resulting in increased load capacity and longer lifespan. Not only that, but Enduro Max bearings are constructed from high-grade chromium steel and equipped with double-lip seals, ensuring effective protection from dirt, dust, and moisture, which is crucial for mountain bike applications. Basically, they engineered these bearings to work perfectly in your suspension linkage, and you’ll want to consider using them when you rebuild yours.
The Wolf Tooth ReMote Light Action Dropper Lever is an extremely popular upgrade among riders, and has been for years now. Designed to provide a smooth and effortless actuation, the ReMote Light Action lever ensures seamless control over your dropper post, allowing you to make on-the-fly adjustments to your saddle height with ease.
With that said, the new Wolf Tooth ReMote Pro builds upon the success of the original ReMote, incorporating several additional features and improvements to provide an even more refined and high-performance experience. The ReMote Pro features an optimized lever shape and paddle geometry, providing a more comfortable and tactile feel, allowing for more precise control over your dropper post and is designed to work seamlessly with a wider range of dropper seatposts, including those with a higher cable pull requirement, further expanding its versatility.
One of our best selling products of all time, the DT Swiss 54 Tooth Ratchet Upgrade Kit is an excellent upgrade for your DT Swiss ratchet driven hubs, providing a significant improvement in engagement and power transfer. This upgrade kit replaces the standard 18, 24, or 36 tooth ratchets with a more precise and efficient 54 tooth ratchet system, resulting in a quicker and more responsive ride. With 54 teeth, the ratchet system provides a lightning-fast 6.6-degree engagement, ensuring a near-instantaneous response when you start pedaling. This makes the upgrade perfect for aggressive riders and those who tackle technical terrain, where quick and precise power transfer is essential. Beware, once you try this level of engagement, there may be no turning back.
