NEW CFN STEM
The new and improved C.F.N stem has arrived and will start shipping to distributors this week, along with the HARD BLACK rear cassette wheels, G-Sport GLAND’s and other goodies. Check with your local shop or mailorders.
CFN- 50 mm reach / 12.4 ounces.
Hard Anodized Wheels
The Hazard Cassette wheelset has only come with black hubs/spokes and a chrome rim, until now. An all black wheel? No, we are not the first, but we wouldn’t offer a built wheel with anything less than the best we can do, for a price you can afford. With the vast improvment in braking and wear of the Hard Anodized rim vs. regular black anodize, we are now able to offer an All Black wheel we can be stand behind.
2005 Hazard Cassette wheel set is the 2005 hub, which is improved over last years model and all the poser hubs out there, with either Chrome or Hard Black Hazard Lite rims. You can’t buy a better built wheel (or find as good a price for that matter).
These wheels will start shipping soon, so contact your favorite shop or mailorder in case you want one.

People like Jeremy Clarkson often talk about torque. Unfortunately they either just quote a number or skirt right past it like it is this incredibly difficult concept to understand. The truth is that torque is very simple to understand. Time for another dumb simile… (hard to believe that that is really how you spell simile but I cant think of anything better so lets go with it)

When the very first bicycles were being developed, simplicity was king. We are talking about Scotsmen scooting about on wooden frames with wooden wheels and wooden forks. This soon developed into the first real bicycles, where rather than pushing along with your feet on the ground cranks were fitted directly to the wheel of the “ordinary” (or penny farthing)
