Bicycle Movie Night

Image
Saturday February the 6th @ 7:30 is the annual Bicycle Movie night,  This year the film will be screened at the Court Square Theater American Flyers, and hopefully some local footage will be shown.  This event is a fundraiser for the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition and the Blue Ridge Food Bank and costs either $9 or $7 if you bring 2 items of canned food.     As always the Movie is in Conjunction with the SuperBowl Sunday Ride. Either leave from the South 42 Food Lion at 8:45 or meet at the Briery Branch community center at 10:00  This is a fun group mt bike ride up to the reddish saddle and onto Flagpole knob before descending one of the single-track trails off the mountain.

SBC Handbuilt Wheels!!!! ENO Hubs-turn any vertical drop out frame into a SS/Fixed Gear

Image
Here at SBC we have the ability and lots of practice building wheels so if you ever want a special wheel for your bike pick out the hub spokes and rim (we'll be happy to help you) and come on down to the shop to get one of our highly skilled wheel builders to lace it up, bring it up to tension and finalize it for you. The bike featured in these pictures is a FUJI road bike that is a few years old. Our customer had us build him a wheel with a White Industries ENO hub . The ENO hub allows you to turn any bike with vertical dropouts into a Singlespeed or Fixed gear bike. The ENO is an eccentric hub that allows you to tension the chain through the hub rather than moving the wheel back on horizontal dropouts. Notice that this is a team issue JV SQUAD bicycle, one of very few!
