Accessories

Car Racks

The Saris T-Rax, Hollywood Sport Rider and Softride Access carry 2 to 5 bikes and fit 2” and 1 ¼” receiver hitches. The unique Saris Bones racks carry 2 or 3 bikes. Both types are on display. Rock ‘n’ Road Cycle staff all are very familiar with the auto racks and can assist with the easy installation on your vehicle.  Women’s bike adapters available too.  Saris is made right across the lake in Wisconsin by actual American cheeseheads so parts and warranty service is quick and easy.

Thule roof rack equipment is easily available in two days by special order.

Computers

We sell four models of Sigma computers, with wireless option. We’ve found these to be very reliable, accurate and easy to install on different types of bikes. We carry their heart monitors too. We love the excellent warranty service from Chicago.

Lighting

The computers from Sigma were so reliable, we thought we’d try their lights. We’re just as happy, whether it’s an economy LED unit for around town or 15 watts of trail lighting power.

Knog lights were new here in 2008.  Knog Frog mounts anywhere; helmet, seatpost, handlebar end, frame and comes in a bunch of cool colors.

Pumps

This is the sixth year for the Park Tool big blue floor pump. There are two other choices for floor pumps. All the pump models we sell have been used repeatedly and successfully in the shop.  There’s a couple models we don’t sell, after they didn’t pass the test with our mechanics. 

Bags and Racks

We sell rack trunks, seat bags, hydration packs, touring panniers, grocery panniers, handlebar bags and the little things from which you eat food.  For uniqueness there’s the grocery pannier sewn from 30 juice boxes by a Filipino women’s cooperative.  It’s the only way to recycle a juice box!

Locks and Bells

We have locks and bells. We have the perfect lock for the tri-cities. It is light, easily locks two bikes and the combination can be set to any four digits you choose!

We have the big ol’ heavy cable campus lock too for you Spartans, Lakers and Wolverines (alphabetical order, no preference inferred).

Pedals

We’re all about the Egg Beaters for mountain riding. We’re not against using them on the road, but we have other road models too.  Honestly though, pedals are personal preference and there aren’t too many bad ones out there. We can easily get other pedals or give you a good deal on a new pair traded off a bike.

Saddles

Terry started the saddle revolution, first for women’s comfort and then for the other problems men have. WTB has a quality and innovative line of comfortable mountain and racing seats. Many WTB saddles are original equipment on Giant women’s and men’s bikes.

Tires

Our ceiling above the service area is two feet deep in tires. To name a few favorites, Michelin Pro Race for road, Panaracer Fire XC Pro for Bass River Recreation area, Country Rock for paved mountain biking and the WTB Allterainasaurus for it’s name.

Drivetrain

The sharpest parts company in the industry is Sram. They’ve done Grip Shift since the Seoul Olympics and improved it ever since. Sram has purchased Sachs (cog sets and the old Sedis chains), Truvativ, Rock Shox, Avid brakes and Zipp wheels and brought the same great customer service to those product lines. We use Grip Shift, and Sram chains and cogs in most repairs.

We like Race Face cranks too.  Shimano works.  We’re experience with Campagnolo, like since 1974, five speed.

Brakes

Just slow you down. Our mechanics will make ‘em slow you down good.

Suspension

Talk to Matt.  He’ll rebuild when that’s the best option, recommend a proper replacement or even send your fork or unit to experts he knows if it’s beyond him.

Wheels

We have some of the coolest looking wheel rims around from Velocity USA. They come in a wide range of colors, from hot pink to green. The Helios wheelset features the Aerohead and Aerohead O/C rims, but uses special lightweight hubs and upgraded spokes.
