Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket (4-Inch x 9-Inch) Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket (4-Inch x 9-Inch)
List Price: $73.99
Sale Price: Too low to display

Big city cyclists need big city protection, as would-be thieves aren't intimidated by flimsy cables or weak U-locks. That's why serious cyclists turn to Kryptonite for their security needs. The Evolution Series 4 U-lock is a cut above other bike locks, with a 14mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle designed to resist both cutters and leverage attacks. Ideal for anyone who lives in moderate to high crime areas, the Series 4 received a 9 on the Kryptonite 1-12 lock comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security offered by the company's product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. A lock that ranks 12, however, is built for maximum deterrence. The Series 4 also offers such security-enhancing features as a double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power; a disc-style cylinder with more than one million key variations; a reinforced anti-drill/pull cylinder protection system; and a center key location with a dual overhead cam locking mechanism that defends against leverage attacks. The Series 4 is about more than just security, however, with a sliding dustcover that protects and extends cylinder life, anti-rattle bumpers that reduce noise during transport, and versatile EZ mount transportation bracket. And as a bonus, the lock comes with three keys, one of which is lighted with a high-intensity bulb that makes it easy to unlock the Series 4 after dark. The lock measures 4 by 9 inches. The Legendary Durability of Kryptonite Locks The first big test for Kryptonite locks came in 1972, when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane directed the Second Avenue Bicycle Shop in New York City to lock a three-speed bicycle to a signpost in Greenwich Village. Although thieves immediately stripped all of the bicycle's removable parts, the bicycle itself remained for 30 days and 30 nights. The publicity gave Kryptonite the boost it needed and forever changed the face of bicycle security. Twenty-two years later, Kryptonite returned to the streets of the Big Apple to test its latest innovation, the New York lock. In April 1994, the New York Post laid down the ultimate challenge: Could Kryptonite's New York lock last 48 hours on the toughest streets of New York? In a city where more than 100,000 bikes are stolen each year, Kryptonite and the Post locked a brand new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village--the Bermuda Triangle of New York bicycle thievery. For a full 48 hours, the bike remained locked on the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street. Zane and Neil McDaid, director of product development and design for Kryptonite, watched from around the corner as the bike came under every possible means of assault, stumping thieves at every turn. After 48 hours the bike remained intact except for the gear derailleur, which had been stripped off. The lock showed definite signs of abuse, but it had not failed. The New York lock had met the Post's challenge. Not satisfied with the length of the test, Zane moved the bike to SoHo for another six days and, finally, uptown near the Lincoln Center. Even in these high-theft areas the properly locked bike lasted another three weeks before being pulled off the streets by Zane and McDaid. The Post also ran the New York lock through a battery of street tests using common bike theft tools: a 4-foot bolt cutter, a crowbar, and a hammer. The non-Kryptonite locks cracked in seconds, but all methods failed on the New York lock, even the monstrous bolt cutter, which was rendered useless with large dents in its jaws. About Kryptonite In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company's Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market. The company's dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its "legendary customer service" pledge to new heights.

Zinn & the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance Zinn & the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance
List Price: $24.95
Sale Price: $15.27

The most concise, well-organized, and clearly illustrated reference available, Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance gently guides the reader regardless of mountain bike experience or mechanical prowess through every aspect of maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting in a succinct and easy-to-read format and presents the latest technological advances and equipment in mountain bike components.

Lennard Zinn explains that it doesn't take special skills to learn how to care for one's bike, only "a passion for spreading new grease on old parts." Clearly, his ambition is to share with newcomers the Zen-like joy of bike maintenance. But it's seasoned bike mechanics that should be tripping over each other for a copy of this comprehensive and ambitious manual. Zinn differs from other how-to books by guiding readers--with plain-speaking text--through almost every imaginable repair on almost every imaginable part. He covers everything from rebuilding hubs, to loosening seized stems, to installing six different types of bottom brackets. He even risks cycling blasphemy by walking mere mortals through the art of wheel building--an intimidating task that can take years to perfect. Although best suited for the old pros, his guide is user- friendly, funny, and essential to anyone willing to love their bike. --Ben Tiffany

What bicyclists can do.

Bicyclists can also make the sharing-the-road concept work better by staying to their side of the road as much as possible in a way not to invite motorists to squeeze by us carelessly; e.g. by riding in the bike lanes and shoulders provided, and by riding no more than single/double file in groups. After all, many of today's roads were originally made for larger faster-moving vehicles. Nothing irritates motorists more than not being able to pass around bicyclists easily.

Additionally, bicyclists can use hand signals for turns, observe all traffic signs and signals, and make ourselves more visible with bright clothing, reflectors, and blinking lights. Furthermore, large groups of bicyclists must be careful about swarming cars and busy intersections without police escorts. We can also "keep our feet on the pedal" metaphorically speaking.

Six cautions motorists can do (from newspaper and Internet articles).

Motorists can help a lot as well. Too many bicyclists are being injured or killed carelessly by moving cars and other vehicles. Therefore, many cities and states are making it criminally illegal to harass or intimidate pedestrians and bicyclists in any way or form. Motorists will face large fines or jail time for doing so.

  1. Stay alert for cyclists while driving anywhere, anytime.
  2. Slow down when passing cyclists.
  3. Provide about three feet between the vehicle and cyclist. That could mean moving over into the left lane slightly if no traffic is coming from the opposite direction.
  4. Throwing something at a cyclist is considered a battery
  5. Swerving toward a cyclist is an assault.
  6. Yelling or honking at one in a harassing manner is disorderly conduct.

Motorists should know bicyclists can take down vehicle descriptions and license numbers, and file abuse charges. Many carry camera-ready cell phones.

The disparity between motorists and bicyclists on public roads can only be resolved by careful considerations and cautions by both parties. We bicyclists must be careful and diligent when riding public roads. We must safety-train ourselves before doing it, and then, stay humble and completely aware of how we are doing it. Motorists can do the same. For information on potential bicycle-vehicle collisions, see this site.

The Tour De France

Before I came on my first mountain biking vacation in Morzine, when I heard the connection of the words bicycle and France, I thought of the Tour De France. There is no doubt the Tour De France had an immense affect on France's biking culture. Road biking and mountain biking have been in the center of public awareness in France for the past century - the Tour de France has a lot to do with that fact. That is probably one of the reasons that Morzine has developed into one of the leading mountain biking resorts in the world.

Almost anyone in the world knows about the tour de France, yet most of us don't know much more about it. Here are some facts about the Tour de France that most people aren't aware of:

The Tour de France was first thought of by a sports magazine editor in order to promote the magazine. The race was planned to be a challenging and demanding long race through many parts of France. Over the years the Tour de France has become a popular event that captured public attention in France.

The Tour de France is a 21 to 23 day long race. Its course is different every year. The course of the race is always circuits around France and sometimes goes through neighboring countries. The race is divided into stages. Each stage is considered as an independent race. The contestant who achieves the lowest total score is declared the winner of the race.

The Tour definitely added to the biking culture in France. I recommend coming to a biking vacation in Morzine especially in the summer months. The experience of being in France in the peak days of the Tour De France is one of a kind.

Converting an MTB to a tourer with drops?

Hello there, I am thinking of converting my '98 Specialized Stumpjumper to a road friendly bicycle by adding drops and reducing the tyre thickness. I am not so bothered about changing the wheels, just the convenience and comfort of adding drop handle bars to a bike that doesn't eat much dirt anymore.
Can anyone advise me how to go about this, is it possible or will the changes in stem length and the cost of STI levers etc. make it all a bit of a pointless venture...hope to hear from someone soon, thanks for reading this.

If you're just looking for comfort and a bit better aero dynamics, you could put clip-on aerobars on your existing bars. Just that will give you 1-2 mph for the same effort.

I've done this on my general purpose mountain bike for commuting and rail-to-trails type riding. I take them off for single-track and/or MTB racing.

First MTB news & racing round-up, Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Racers are already making their way down to the Deep South to contest the seventh race in the Kenda National Ultra Endurance Series (NUE), the Fool's Gold 100. The race, now in its fourth year, traverses the rugged North Georgia mountains with a combination of gravel roads, doubletrack, and classic Georgian singletrack.
