Another Merida Silex 200 unboxed this week. 🎁

These things are great value if you’re looking to give gravel a nudge or do a bit of adventure or bike packing.
⛺️

We love a solid no frills rig that has just what you need and no more. Ah, the simple life 🥰

Pop in and check out what you can get to go gravelling at under $2k 😮🤩

Ever hit a brutal climb and feel your chest tighten up before your legs even get tired? 😮‍💨⛰

For riders who deal with exercise-induced asthma or that tight, restrictive feeling in cold air, catching your breath is everything.

A couple of drops of Rocket Fuel right before you ride gives you an instant cooling blast that helps open your airways, making it easier to take deep, clean breaths when you're pushing hard on the pedals.

We keep a bottle at the counter if you want to see what the hype is about. Plus some other great products from Savvy Touch 😊💙

Breathe easy out there! 🚵📈🏆

Want something a little different? 👀
Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Say hello to Dharco, the new clothing brand in store and, frankly, a pretty good match for the way we like to roll.

Quality gear. Loads of colour. Zero interest in blending into the background.
Jorts? Yep.
Bibs? Obviously.
Party Pants? Absolutely.
Gloves and plenty more? You betcha.

Basically, if it looks like fun and works hard, we’re into it.

Check out and get amongst it.

Wow! 🤩

You’re a generous bunch of humans aren’t you!!! 💙

So, we were aiming to raise $600 over the month for Blue September and then you generous early donators came along and we smashed that goal 1st day!!! 🙌✅
We appreciate you 🫵

Still plenty of km’s to ride so I guess we better set a new goal! 📈🚵🏼‍♂️💙

We're raising money for a cause close to our hearts – supporting Kiwi men affected by prostate cancer. We’ve just kicked off my Blue September fundraiser and would love your support. Every donation helps fund vital support services and awareness. If you’d like to chip in, here’s our fundrais...

For a limited time your donation will be doubled by the generous team at NAPA!

If you think you could help us out with a couple of $ now is a great time, cheers 😊

Did you know prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in New Zealand, and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in men?

We didn’t. 😳

So when Blue September came along with a challenge to help tackle those stats, we thought, “Yep, we can ride bikes. How hard can 739km be?”

Turns out… probably harder than we’d like to admit. 😂

The challenge is simple: cycle 739km over September and get your mates to back you.

So we’re giving it a crack as a team and what a team we’ve assembled! 🚴‍♂️💙

Getting all three of us in the same place long enough to take a photo, however, proves to maybe be significantly harder than the 739km.

So you’ll just have to make do with this highly accurate version of what we may or may not actually look like. 😂

739km. Three mates. One slightly questionable amount of optimism.
Let’s do this! 💙🚴‍♂️

We like Merida bikes.
We like them A LOT.
We ride them.
We sell them.
We fix them.
We talk about them in social situations…
Sorry if you didn't actually ask about bikes. 😬

And sometimes…
we just sit quietly and stare at them. 👀
Well, Steve does...👀

Yep. We really rate them.

🔵Turns out our mates at Marin are also partial to a bit of colour!🔵
Check out this Neon / Blue Bobcat Trail 3 Limited Edition - with graphics by UK pop artist ‘Thumbs’.
It’s bright. It’s bold. It’s a little bit fancy.
Basically… a bike with main character energy. 💙💥
We’re into it. 😎

Fresh delivery of Rude Coffee this week from our wonderful local supplier, Jae Energy Coaching & Reiki ☕️
Because cycling and coffee go together like… 🚲☕️
pedals and pastries?
chains and caffeine?
two wheels and a flat white?
You get the idea. 😆
We love Rude Coffee for the taste first and foremost, but it also ticks a few pretty important boxes - NZ made, Fair Trade, and packed with good stuff to help avoid that usual “WHY DID I DRINK THAT COFFEE?” feeling afterwards. 😂
And naturally, we take our coffee seriously here at Hub & Sprocket.
In fact, someone has apparently taken it upon themselves to sample the coffee every. single. day.
You know… for quality control.
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it. ☕️😎
Good coffee. Good bikes. Good days.
That’s the formula.
Thanks Jae! 🙌
