<p>Don’t let your bike get dragged down by machine built wheels like this poor soul. In the picture on the left, you can notice the spoke coming out of the nipple at an angle. This is bad! It means the spoke has weakened which will keep the wheel from being straight and can cause the spoke to break. The picture on the right is the opposite perspective showing why the spoke is bent. When La Machina was building this wheel, an extra nipple got caught between the main nipple and the rim forcing the spoke to bend. No Good! Now; if a human being had built this wheel, it would be inexcusable.</p>
<p>Machine built wheels do not have the durability, longevity, or ride quality of a solid hand built wheel. A trained wheel builder can assist with decisions such as spoke count and spoke shape along with rim and hub type in order to help your bike ride like you have always dreamed.</p>
<p>Human touch can go a long way, like not getting your nipples tied up. Of course, unless that’s your bag.</p>
<p>So come in this winter for 50% off wheel builds among other services:</p>
<p>$120 Full Overhaul (Takin’ it all off, cleaning’ it, and puttin’ it all back together, parts not included)</p>
<p>$40 Tune-Up (We can adjust everything!)</p>
<p>$40 Custom Fender Install (Custom Road Fenders, Brass Tanakas, we can set you up!)</p>

<p>Pacific Northwest summers are perfect for adventuring. Last weekend I took a few friends up to the San Juan Islands to do some light touring and bike camping. We spent four days hopping ferries, riding the roads, and camping with waterfront views. I was on my Surly Cross Check while my friend Lisa pedaled the distance on her Long Haul Trucker. The Cross Check is the perfect do-it-all bicycle. Not only do I take her for long day rides, but I can strip her down and put knobby tires on to ride cyclocross. I also rode her to San Francisco this June for a thousand mile tour. If you are searching for a bike you can commute on and <em>more, </em>think Cross Check. Surly specializes in classic, steel frame, utility bikes. And if you want to take a trip to the San Juan Islands, there’s no better book to guide you than <em>Bicycling the Pacific Coast, </em>which, as you know if you read the last blog post, we also have in stock.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>First day of cycling on Lopez Island. We ditched the gear at camp and set out for a day of flat riding, a nice reprieve from the steep, dirty hills of Orcas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2787"></a></p>
<p>Bike camping on Orcas Island, featuring my black cross check with a Brooks B-17 honey-colored saddle, 21st ave water bottles, and Ortlieb back rollers classics. We got it all in store, and we’d love to set you up. Also, think about Poler’s Magic Tarpit as a lovely camping accouterment. For a rack, I recommend PDW’s aesthetically sophisticated Payload with it’s double-ply bamboo deck and steel tubing. It’ll have you carrying cargo in no time.</p>

<p>Not just a bike shop, folks. We’re set up with a library strong enough to woo even the toughest literati. Ever heard of Rouleur? Paul Fornel? Boneshaker? We’ve got you covered. As for the practical minded reader we have a slew of “best ride” guides that will send you sailing through the roads of Oregon with a plan, a pack list, and a feeling of preparedness that’s hard to beat. Come in, grab a coffee or a burrito from next door and browse our bookshelf. Watch out. You’re going to want to ride.</p>
<p>The Bookshelf:</p>
<p>First things first. <em>Rouleur</em>. This fine publication features exquisite photography and muscular prose from the best journalists in the industry. Buying an issue of <em>Rouleur</em> is akin to investing in a piece of art, with their commitment to celebrating the drama and beauty of road racing. It’s timeless: a journal you can return to years later and still find relevant, insightful, and informational. This is the ultimate publication for anyone interested in cycling. I get giddy each time a new issue lands on our doorstep.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Boneshaker:</p>
<p>A Portland and Bristol based publication that seeks to “create a considered, well-oiled publication that promotes a self-propelled life on two wheels, and to be an inclusive platform for your stories and artwork from around the world.” I’ll support that.</p>
<p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2772"></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Velo by Paul Fournel</p>
<p>So says the book jacket: “Velo is a unique look at the bike. Through a series of short essays, Paul Fournel beautifully evokes the experience and spirit of cycling…Paul Fournel is a writer, passionate cyclist,and president of the French avant garde writing group Ouilpo.”</p>

<p>Bicycling the Pacific Coast</p>
<p>Do you live in Oregon? (Me too.) Do you ride your bike? Do you like to camp? If you answered yes to these questions, and you haven’t taken a tour down the Pacific coast, you better get going. There’s still summer left in the sky, and plenty of coastline to cover. Here’s the book you’ll want to bring.</p>
<p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2774"></a></p>
<p>75 Classic Rides Oregon: The Best Road Biking Routes</p>
<p>This is the book everyone in the shop is fighting over, and if you come in and peek through the pages, you’ll see why. Buy it, go bike, and be happy.</p>

<p>(Glamor shop shot.)</p>
<p>The folks from Travel Portland came into the shop yesterday and dropped off two awesome Japanese magazines that did a recent spotlight on Oregon and all it has to offer (check out the publications: <a href="http://www.pedalspeed.com/mag/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.pedalspeed.com']);">Pedal Speed</a> and <a href="http://www.papersky.jp/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.papersky.jp']);">Paper Sky</a>). 21st Ave gets some serious love in each issue. The photographs are gorgeous. Too bad I can’t read the articles.</p>

<p><a href="/" rel="attachment wp-att-2753"></a></p>
<p>Come by the shop and flip through, if you’re like me, it’ll give you the itch to get out and go. There are some epic shots of forest park trail runners, cyclocross racers, urban cycle commuters, and DIY craftsters-not to mention a bike guide featuring your’s truly. If you weren’t proud to be a Portlander already, these magazines will pump a little more hiplandia love through your bones. Did I mention the epic pictures? Yeah. Good stuff.</p>

<p>It’s a backpack. It’s a pannier. It’s both! North St. Bags, brainchild of Portland’s very own sewer extraordinaire, Curtis, is the remedy for sweaty backs and sore necks. Nothing says summer like a hot load on your shoulders, but you don’t have to suffer anymore. Take the weight off and put the style on with this savvy, hand-crafted local bag. North St. packs come complete with a laptop sleeve, waterproof liner, velcro accessory straps, U-lock/water bottle sleeve, and reflectors (safety first, people). Curtis created North St. Bags with sustainability and function at the forefront of his mind. All the raw materials are USA sourced, and the labor comes straight from Portland, OR. As if these perks weren’t enough, Curtis will even custom craft a bag to fit your specific color craving and aesthetic sensibility. Come by 21st Ave and pick up your North St. today! I’ve been riding with mine since last summer and couldn’t be happier. Check out the oh-so-gorgeous blue on orange action happening in the pictures.</p>
