Month Activity: Free Ironclad Bike Maintenance Clinic Wednesday May 16th at 7:00PM at the shop. Come learn the basics of bike maintenance - What's important to check, what to lube and how, how to fix a flat tire, etc. Bicycles should be friendly, not intimidating! Knowledge equals confidence - Come learn! Space is limited so please RSVP at the shop or by calling 776 1755 --- National Ride to Work Day is Friday May 18th--- In Prescott, we celebrate that with our annual "Ride to Work with the Mayor". We will meet at 7:00am the shopping center at the 1500 block of West Gurley St. (where the DES office is) for a short ride to Prescott's City Hall, and wrap that up with coffee, Juice, donuts, etc. This is a great event suitable for all ages, and it is really important to show our city leaders how important safe and accessable bicycling is to their citizens... Please come out, and help spread the word! --- We had a lot of fun during the Whiskey weekend, and posted some pic's in a facebook album you can find here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.452252551456995.120321.100000167631598&type=3 --- Hey It's Bike Month! Check out the Prescott Alternative Transportation website for all the events now through National Ride to Work Day (Fri. 5/18) when we will have another great Ride to Work with the Mayor in Prescott. http://prescottbikeped.org/events --- It is kind of hard for us to wrap our minds around this whole 2012 thing... Not only is it a leap year, and an election year, and the end of the Mayan calendar... It is also the year Ironclad Bicycles turns twenty years old. The world has changed a lot in the last twenty years, and in ways we could have never imagined... but one thing that will never change is our commitment to Prescott, and to helping make it a more bike friendly town. We are also committed to our customers, and to helping them have more fun, and to be able to enjoy healthier and more active lifestyles by incorporating bicycling in to their daily routines. Who knows if we will still be here 20 years from now... That may be out of our control... so our goal is to make 2012 as much fun as possible - and we want to welcome you to join in. Friend us on facebook, or stop by and sign up for our email list, and we will keep you posted. Heck, if you have got something fun going on, let us know because we are up for it. 2012 is going to kick ass! --- The 2012 Skull Valley Loop Challenge is scheduled for Sunday September 16th, yes - start now, and you will be ready! The 2011 Skull Valley Loop Challenge was great... Thanks to Prescott Alternative Transportation for putting on such a successful event. Remember: the website they created to promote the ride is still there as a resource for local road and casual riders to connect. Go to PrescottCycling.net and sign up for the yahoo email list.  --- --- The Whiskey Off-Road
2011 is not an event we will quickly forget. What was really cool was
that this year's race was dedicated to Joe Breeze, and he not only came
to ride, he also spent some quality time at the shop. Did you know
Ironclad Bicycles was the world's first dealer for Breezer
Tansportation Bikes? It's true, and we are still proud to be a current
Breezer Dealer! Come in and check out the new Breezers sometime soon.
Jim, Mike, Corey, Joe Breeze, and Zac ---  --- Voodoo Bokor 29er Single Speed Custom Our rental fleet now has a unique addition - a custom built Voodoo 29er single speed. We have offered full suspension and twenty nine inch wheeled bikes for rent for a while, and it is a great chance to “try it before you buy it” if you are considering something new. For a lot of people the concept of a 29inch single speed mountain bike seems a little too regressive to even consider, but new single speed converts are made every day, and renting our Voodoo is a great way to dip your toe in the water before taking the plunge. In theory some things add up: Start with light weight, and a 29" wheel that has a larger attack angle, which translate to a better roll over of small objects, a different contact patch that really hooks up, and more efficient power transmission with only one gear... it makes you feel like a kid. In practice, things don’t add up so well... top shelf 29er single speeds will sell for $3,000 or more. Our challenge was building a high quality bike that didn’t break the bank. Our end result is a bike that has about a $1,250 price tag. Could we have cut a few more corners? Probably, but not without some sacrifices. Perhaps the biggest compromise in terms of cost was going with a rigid fork... Remember the bigger wheel rolls smoother, the rigid fork is lighter with less maintenance, and the combination climbs unbelievably well... but if you want a nice suspension fork we can do that too, heck, we can even build one up with gears.  Voodoo Bokor 29er frame Designed by Joe Murray Lightweight frame, 7000 series aluminum Rear sliding dropout has option to setup for singlespeed or geared. Avid BB-5 disc brakes, great stopping power with low maintenance. Shimano Deore crankset and BB, durable and stiff, great for singlespeed riding. Mavic / Shimano Deore hub wheelset, stable and lightweight, use geared or singlespeed. Want to give it a quick try, come on by. Want to take it out for a half or full day to see what it is like to live with, rent it - then if you decide to buy within 30 days, your rental fee will be deducted from the cost. It is OK to dream it, because we can build it. --- Learn all about the Prescott Mountain Bike Alliance and join up with them here: PrescottMTB.com --- We actively support Prescott Alternative Transportation , Prescott Bicycle Advisory Committee, the One Street fo Bicycling , LAB, IMBA, NBDA, and Bikes Belong.
