Hurricane Cycles Bike Shop

The age old question. Do my brakes need a bleed? Or is there a mechanical problem? Let’s take a look!

Tires. Tires. Tires. Spoiler alert. 🚨 I’m not going to tell you which tire is best. But we can have a lot of fun discussing the range of why different tires do what they do. Let’s get into it!

Let’s talk about chain and cassette wear! This is something that can be easily overlooked. Let’s get into some nitty gritty details so you are more equipped next time you come to the shop!

Let’s play a game. Can you figure out what’s wrong with this bike before I give you the answer? Give me your best guess in the comments!

The Ebike space really is exploding at light speed! The tech is getting wild! In this video I’m going over 3 new bits of tech that I have never seen on any bike from the traditional household brands. And this is just the beginning.

I really think the “little brands” won’t be so little for very much longer.

Systems change. Brands rise and fall. As technology keeps improving so does the speed that companies are able to move. Every now and then an entire industry gets caught with old technology and a small more agile player is able to come in underneath the giants and shake the whole house down to its foundations. I think that is exactly what is happening right now. The pain the bike industry is experiencing is not due to Covid. It’s a wholesale shift in back end systems that are allowing new brand names to provide better, faster, cheaper products to the masses in a way that the big brands simply are not capable of. My prediction is that our current stock of “high end” bikes from the biggest brands are sitting right about twice the price they should be. I would be surprised if the generally accepted price of bikes drops nearly in half over the next 5 years.
