 Buying 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:
Aeolus D3: revolutionary shape, extraordinary results.
This Aeolus 5 D3 wheel combines the all-around performance of Bontrager's 50mm racing tubulars with the tyre installation ease of a clincher. Now everyone can race like a professional over rolling terrain and in varying crosswinds. A full carbon, made in the USA rim laced to silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs.
D3 - Dual Directional Design: Bontrager's exclusive D3 profile reduces drag on both the tyre-leading and rim-leading edge. This not only makes you faster, it gives you more control in a crosswind.
Shape is more important than depth: The revolutionary D3 rim shape is so aerodynamic that it beats competitors' deeper rims at almost every yaw angle.
Shallower is better: When you run shallower wheels, you reduce weight, decrease the watts required to climb, increase acceleration out of corners, and improve handling on windy days.
OCLV Carbon: the world’s best carbon.
Hand built in the USA from exclusive aerospace-grade carbon. Stiffer, stronger, lighter, better.
Stacked lacing, stiffer wheel:
The innovative pattern of straight nailhead spokes widens the bracing angle on rear wheels for more lateral stiffness.
Long-term precision: DT's proven drive mechanism comes standard, with superlight 180 internals on tubular and precision 240 internals on clincher.
- The everyday wheel for high performance cyclists
- Dual Direction Design: D3 rim profile offers the fastest aerodynamic shape available with the best stability in cross-winds
- 27mm x 50mm one piece moulded carbon fibre rim provides the best aero shape and lightweight construction
- Bontrager designed hubs with DT 240 star ratchet internals and nail head spokes deliver fast reliable engagement and superior wheel stiffness
- 24 DT aerolite spokes with Alpina locking alloy nipples
- Includes skewers, wheel bags, (required) Carbon Stop brake pads and alloy presta valve extenders
- Compatible with both Shimano and SRAM 9/10 speed cassettes
- Campagnolo compatible with separately available freehub
Cycling Weekly Review, 19th April 2012:
"Bontrager has invested heavily in a complete rethink across its entire wheel range, with the focus primarily on aerodynamics. This latest Aeolus follows the trend for wider profiles in search of speed but also - importantly - stability in crosswinds, allowing more frequent use of deep sections....
...And shine they did. At no point was I disappointed. Slotting the wheelset into my go-to bike meant I knew any perceptible changes would be down to the wheels. I was surprised by what I found. I would not have credited any one product with the capacity to improve that particular bike by such a striking amount. For speeed, for climbing, for sprinting, for handling, you name it: it all seemed to go up a notch. I try, probably in vain, not to sound cliched when I say every day feels like a good day when you have these wheels under you.
I'm confident the Aeolus 5s will light up any bike or ride, with a build quality such that the investment should be a long and happy relationship."
Score: 10/10.
