New stuff at Cog, CARVER BIKES

These are disc only and weigh in at 850g. $450. Of course we have tyres for 29ers as usual, Kenda Klaws, WTB Nano raptors, Exiwolfs and Schwalbe Racing Ralphs, (2.25" and 2.4")
We now have a 96er CARVER frame in stock (

long weekend - long rides
Cog now has brand new hire bikes. Bauer Comfort bikes and Jamis Trail X3 mountainbikes. We still have some of our Cannondales in use and will sell them off after christmas. We are also stocking more new bikes, Allegro, Jamis and Bauer.
Breakfast burrito anyone? On our recent trip to the Single speed world champs we dined at a fantastic Mexican cafe in San Fransisco. The burritos were massive,.... and tasty.
Nice trail!
Lots of nice trails in the Silvan area close to the shop. Some old, some new and still the great thing about the area is that it is under-ridden. It is quite rare to see other riders on the trails. So, get out and explore legal trails close to Melbourne and avoid the crowds. Access is via singletrack from Cog (aquaduct trail) or enter through Silvan Dam picnic area or even from thr highside, Ollinda.
Whilst in Canada a couple of months ago, Libby and I rode on Hornby Island, off the coast of Vancouver BC. We rode most of the trails as a strategy to overcome our jetlag. The photo shows us on 'No Horses' trail with our borrowed bikes, Geoff Kabush's old Kona and his mum's Giant.
Dont forget the shop rides every 2nd Thurs at 6:30, next ride, 6th Nov.
new stuff at COG
Howdy all, we now have double the bike parking! Along with some new lanscaping outside the shop, we have a new bike rack.
New product, we are now stocking the SPEX tyre sealant. It is an Australian made product for use in tubeless tyre systems and comes in half litre bottles, $38-
Just a reminder that the COG social rides are back on every 2nd Thurs at 6:30pm. Last night we went out and had a great blast through some of the new singletrack in Silvan,
$notmuch per litre
Hope everyone had a nice 'round the bay in a day' The trail has been quiet this weekend probably due to the bay ride and the final crit of Herald Sun Tour.(all the more egg pies for us to eat!) Happy riding
