In this blog post, we'll delve into the importance, function, uses, and benefits of a mountain bike neck brace like the Leatt brace for mountain bikers and racers, particularly during training. We'll also provide reference to studies and research that support our claims.
With recent mountain bike supply chain issues and shortages we are excited to announce that we currently have some very exciting bikes on the shop floor and bike frames hanging from the roof. Bike brands currently represented include Santa Cruz, Julianna, Transition, Chromag and Mondraker. As well as acoustic mountain bikes we even have several E-bikes on the floor.
Gravity will be inviting guest writers to contribute to our blog to cover interesting topics that customers have been asking us about in the shop. In the first of this series of occasional articles we have invited passionate mountain bikers Mark Abbott and Scott Stephen from Abbott Insurance Brokers to run us through the important topic of how to Insure your Dream Bike, a topic we have noticed incites heated debates on Internet forums whenever it is mentioned. Read on for their helpful breakdown of this important topic.
This is the first in an occasional series of reviews our staff will be writing. Our shop has always focused on only stocking products our staff use and love, so testing and reviewing products is key to us stocking the best possible products for you. Check out Wilfred's first review and feel free to chat to him in the store or out on the trails about the amazing Troy Lee Designs A3 helmet (2021).
When electric mountain bikes first appeared on the market many dismissed them as being a gimmick only suitable for older, lazier or unfit riders. The thinking at the time was that the average rider, the fit rider, and certainly riders under the age of 60 would never want to ride an e-mountain bike, because they were more expensive, heavier, and less agile to ride than normal mountain bikes. This sentiment was echoed repeatedly by many customers who came into our shop, with the majority of them claiming they wouldn't get an electric mountain bike until "they were at least 60 years old".
