Likin’ Bikin’ News

Likin’ Bikin’ is a bicycle shop. And we are especially proud to be a bicycle shop all year, with two weekly rides throughout the winter!

Likin’ Bikin’ is aslo a bicycle shop located in Alton NH (average seasonal snowfall of 67″), and we’ve been known to sometimes mix-it-up with other outdoor winter activities. So many activities!

Due to our location, we’re lucky enough to have excellent snowboarding, skiing (alpine, xc skate and xc classic), and snowshoeing, all readily available to us via local trails as well as a ski area just minutes away.

So, starting this year, we’ll begin to embrace that white stuff out there and officially schedule some out-of-the-shop wintery fun (in addition to the wintery fun of the semiweekly studded-tire MTB rides of course)

First up, starting this week (tonight) we will be having Tues Night Slidin’,  snowboard/alpine ski night at Gunstock. Night skiing is 4-9pm. Lift tickets are $30, however!… Tues is 2-for-1 night  So, non-season pass holders just need to pair-up and it’s 15 bucks each.

Next, we’ve partnered up with locally (VT) made Dion Snowshoes, which are in-stock at Likin’ Bikin’ now! (Next blog post will have details on the shoes themselves) We are working on some outings along with Alton Parks. Stay tuned for dates and times. Also, you can contact Gunstock Nordic Center for tours there, including lift accessed ridge tours (not LB related, but highly recommended)

And finally, we are now Swix and Toko dealers, and offering waxing, edge tuning, and base repair of boards and skis of all types. So bring your gear in for pre Tues Night  Slidin’ tune-ups. We’ll get your set-up slidin’ fast and carvin’ strong. (or kickin’ and glidin’ if Nordics your thing).

Hope to see you tonight!

We just received out first order of Rolf Prima Ralos MTB Wheels. And dang!

Now we all knew they’d be awesome (from last week’s FB post)  “Really, with custom US made hubs (White Ind.), 25mm No Tubes rims laced with SAPIM hardware in Rolf’s paired spoke technology, these are impossible to deny as some of the best wheels available. And available they are! (LB)”

Now that they’re in-hand, the pics and super-stats still don’t do these babies justice. Serious 29″ round beauty! (talking about bicycle wheels here people, focus).

The first set, ordered as QR front/135mm QR rear, showed up with skewers and fully tubeless ready (Stan’s yellow tape and valve stems included). Run’em tubed if you want, but here’s your chance to try tubelessness.

The first sets are 29ers, with a set weight of 1655gm (750gm front / 905gm rear). Awesome numbers for stiff 29er’s with 25mm rim width.

How do they look?

Front & Rear American made Hubs by White Ind. and Tubeless Readiness by Stan’s

Here at Likin’ Bikin, we’ll be carrying mostly the Ralos9 sets. Due to the various axle configurations (Front: QR, QR15, 20mm thru / Rear: QR 135mm or 142mm x 12mm), please contact us with your exact wheel needs.

If you’re 26ing it, or would like any of the road line, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’ll gladly get your set here quickly and conveniently.

Oh yeah, I forgot we had a blog! To all our non-Facebookin’ fans, I do apologize for this long neglect.

Getting back into it, there’s too much to catch up. So we’ll just pick up at the present.

And presently, we have our first sets of Rolf Prima Ralos MTB wheels in the house….
