Cruise, commute, tour, or just go for a bike ride. The 2015 Weekender Drop is a great bike for just about anything you might have in mind. The 10-speed drivetrain is an absolute joy to ride; just one easy shift lever gives you a full range of gears. Enjoyable simplification for expert to beginner riders. The X7 clutch derailleur quiets down derailleur flop and gives the bike a wonderfully solid ride quality. SRAM levers work perfectly with the BB7 disc brakes to provide confident all weather braking. Flat-protected tires will keep you rolling and Electro Silver will keep you stoked to be on board. We REALLY love this bike and we think you will too.

The 2015 Taj is Taj Mihelich’s signature bike. With nostalgic roots to its BMX predecessor, this bike is quite possibly the simplest and most indestructible bike in the Fairdale 2015 line-up. It’s also one of the most fun 26″ bikes available. It’s the perfect bike for rad dads (or moms!) and just about anybody else who wants a fun cruiser. Pump up the tires and you’re good to go!

Our man Sandy Carson has been out and about riding bikes with his crew, The Sativa Rollers, and shooting photos. He sent over a little report… Two weekends ago, we rode the Bicycle Sport Shop Gravel Grinder. It’s a 50 mile ride on a jeep road through Rocky Hill Ranch and Buescher State Park. It was bloody freezing rain! Here’s a coupla photos from that- The day after the Gravel Grinder was the Mellow Johnny’s lassic TMBRA XC race in Flat Creek Ranch just outside Austin. It was super rainy and muddy. My fave weather. I took first! Check out more of Sandy’s work HERE. Last weekend I entered my first Duathlon, the “Dirty Du” also out at Rocky Hill Ranch in Smithville. It was a 10k run and 15 mile bike ride. Pretty exhausting and super challenging. I’m new to running and having a laugh with it. I took 2nd in the main race and 1st overall in my old man age group!

From the beginning we have used Linear Slic Kables® made for us by Odyssey BMX on all of our disc brake equipped bikes. It’s a detail you can’t see from the outside but makes a big difference. We’ve found that the combination of mechanical disc brakes paired with the tough, compression-less Linear cable housing provides superior braking. Traditional coiled brake housing can feel especially mushy when used with disc brakes. The stiffer Linear housing applies much more of your brake force to the disc and feels much more solid. We also keep the cable housing un-broken from the brake lever all the way to the brakes. This helps keep any weather you might encounter from corroding the inner cable wire. This keeps your brakes running smoothly with less maintenance. Every Pedal might move you closer, but good working brakes can keep you from crashing into things.  We are big fans of mechanical disc brakes. Paired with our cables they can rival the feel of hydraulic discs but are much more simple and good value.
