Hey everyone, it's JUS!
The cyclocross season is finally nearing its end, but heated battles are still being fought across the country today!
From our side, CRC member TAKA and Circles staff member Happy participated in the Tokai Cyclocross today.
Regardless of the results, I'm just glad everyone had a good time.
Now, when we mechanics hear "off-season," it means the "start of overhaul season" for us.
To all you cross-racers, we're waiting to overhaul your bikes!
But an overhaul isn't just for race bikes;
it applies to the bike you use in your daily life as well.
Though the cold days continue, the days are gradually getting longer,
and it feels like the sun is starting to feel warmer, too.
As spring approaches, there will be more days that are perfect for riding.
This truly is the "season-in" for a comfortable cycling life.
However, when you go to ride that bike you left dormant all winter...
The chain is all rusted...
The gears won't shift...
The brake pads are worn down, and the tires are cracked...
And above all, I'm sure many of you think,
"Man, this bike is filthy!"
Starting your new life in spring with a beat-up, rusty bike
might make you feel like you're already off to a slow start.
So, to make sure you don't fall behind this spring (is that too dramatic?),
Circles recommends getting your bike overhauled.
An overhaul is one of Circles' specialties: we strip the bike down to the frame,
meticulously clean and grease everything, perform maintenance, replace consumables,
and put it all back together again.
⬆️We carefully clean the disassembled parts and reassemble them.
If you have a SURLY frame, how about swapping out the decals? (Check out the AB-zo blog here for more details.)
After!
The level of freshness is off the charts!
In addition to an overhaul, we also recommend a frame paint job with Kugutai Paint (from ¥18,000)!
Right now, a standard overhaul takes about two weeks to complete. (Overhauls from ¥16,000)
If you include a frame paint job, it takes about a month or more (depending on the frame material and number of colors).
So,
why not refresh your partner for your new life this spring?
We look forward to hearing from you!
