Buying your bike from usBuying your bike from us

Please note that to buy a Trek or Gary Fisher cycle you must be able to visit the shop in person.
“Trek Bicycle Corporation does not authorize our retailers to sell new or used Trek product over the internet or by mail order. Delivery should only be made to you at an authorized Trek retail location. This is for your safety. We want to make sure that your bicycle is properly assembled, properly adjusted, and is the right size for you. We also want to make sure that you receive your owner’s manual and consumer literature. Your dealer will also explain how to properly use your bike and answer any questions or concerns you may have.”

We think this is a good policy, for it means that you will receive good advice about the bike that's right for you, and take home an expertly serviced bike. Every bike we sell is not only fully assembled but serviced to a very high standard. As an illustration, we even remove the tyres and inner tubes so the wheels are properly dished and trued.
We also offer excellent after sales service, to include a second free service 6-8 weeks after the purchase of the bike.
This standard of service and peace of mind is all included in the price of the bike, and is not something that can be matched by mail order or internet sales.

Description:
This beauty represents the first family of world-class, yet affordable, carbon wheel performance. The 46mm Assault not only has a leg up on the best alloy wheels, but it can out-sprint, out-corner and generally out-perform any deep profile carbon wheel for a fraction of the price. For 2011 Reynold's have improved the layup composition and added their proprietary new CTg braking system to measurably improve stopping performance. All this for about what you’d pay for the finest alloy wheels.

- Rim Depth: 46mm, full carbon clincher
- Spoke Patterns: Radial (front), 2x-Radial (rear), 20/24 (front/rear)
- Weight: 1568g (pair)
- Hubs: Reynolds, cartridge bearing
- Front Spokes: DT Revolution
- Rear Spokes: DT Revolution
- CTg (Cryo + glass transition point) Brake Track: patented, temperature-conductive resin moulded in a protective fabris containment layer, mated with the new Cryo Blue brake pad, results in a lightweight, super-efficient system that actually removes heat from the rim. Cooler operation virtually eliminates the possibility of heat induced rim failure, so whether you're a heavy or lightweight rider, you'll enjoy glass-smooth braking, linear stopping forces and no pulsing.
- Brake Pads: Reynolds Cryo Blue (included)

ROAD CC: "Fast, zingy carbon clinchers, with confidence-inspiring braking. They're stiff enough for criteriums and light enough for the mountains. At half the price of the Zipp equivalent, I'm sold."
Review - Road CC by Trev Allen, 21st March 2011.

Cycling Plus July 2011:
"...high-end carbon technology has trickled down to the more affordable Competitive road range, where you'll find the Assaults."
"The difference from the competition at this price is the rims; being full carbon they have much less mass at the outside of the wheel than those with an aluminium braking surface. This makes them quicker to spin up to speed, with acceleration from a standing start comparable to that of standard clinchers. The wind cheating advantage of aero wheels comes into play when you're going faster, and that's certainly true here. These have a tenacious ability to hold onto higher speeds on the flat but are still stiff enough at the rear through hard cornering descents."
"CTg surface treatment helps stave off heat build-up and offers a superb brake feel."
