1300grams of rolling perfection

12o'Clock Bikes hit it with a Storm. A sub 1300gram MTB wheelset, based on the Stans NoTubes Alpine rim laced with Pillar aero spokes and the buttery smooth 12O'clock hubs. The freewheel has a  mild buzz without sounding like a swarm of locusts.

Yes, you will be jealous to if you don't get your hands on these awesome wheel-sets. Race day, training or just Frisbee fun. You will not find a better value, better quality wheel-set.

Foss Releases the ultra light 700c tube

We have all heard about how good a latex tube rides, the high elasticity of the latex also adds to its superior puncture protection. Run a latex tube with a good quality clincher and you get close to the feel of a tubular. Tests have also shown that latex tubes provide less rolling resistance, which is a result of the high elasticity of the latex being able to conform to road imperfections, dispersing less energy. Latex tubes are far more porous than butyl, that is why we need to keep a close eye on the pressures before every ride and they cannot be patched or repaired.
Latex and butyl are so passé.

Lets move on to 2011. The FOSS Ultra Light weight tube is here. 62grams of blue puncture protection, supreme ride quality and unrivaled weight.

SuperLight seatposts by 12o'Clock

Our most demanded item last month was seatposts, so we thought we should offer something that was lighter, stronger and better looking than all the others. The cool looking SuperLight seatpost from 12o'Clock are here. Nicely anodised and CNC'd, with external butting around the seat pin area to give it heaps more strength. Titanium hardware and  a simple rail clamp mechanism which allows for micro-adjustability. Long 410mm size is also a very handy addition. We currently have the zero-setback only, a setback version will be available in the near future.

Weight for the 30.9x410mm is 158grams. If you need more info or would like too see extra pics, leave a comment for us below.
