Have you checked out the ride event on Saturday, 3/1, everyone!? Some ride events are still open for entry, so if you are even a little bit interested, please come and join us.
Today, I’d like to introduce the details of the events taking place on Sunday, 3/2. While the first day is mainly about the ride, the second day is also packed with events!!
NITTO & MKS POP-UP STORE / Talk Show
We are hosting a pop-up store for two of Japan’s proudest parts brands, NITTO & MKS!! The pop-up, which we held recently in Nagoya to a great response, is coming to Circles Tokyo!
Check out the scene from the Nagoya pop-up below⇩
We will also have limited-edition products like racing caps and T-shirts that you can only purchase during the event! Plus, there’s a whole host of content, including a talk show!
I’d like to run through the details once again today.
【NITTO】
NITTO has specially brought along some deadstock and B-grade items (safe for use, of course) that will be on sale for one day only!
They will also be offering a service where they use a rotary tool to engrave patterns onto top caps!
【MKS】
MKS will be conducting a demonstration of cup-and-cone pedal assembly, from loading the bearings to the final product.
This is a super special project where you can purchase the very pedals they’ve just assembled! You’ll be able to buy these fresh-from-the-bench pedals on the spot.
Furthermore, MKS has lent us a pinball machine, so customers who purchase NITTO or MKS products can have a go at it!
We’ve prepared some prizes, too!
This is a truly rare opportunity to have representatives from NITTO and MKS in the store to explain their products in person!
【Meets Legacy Talk Show】
Additionally, as a special piece of content, we will be hosting a talk show featuring NITTO, MKS, and Circles representative Tanaka!
They will be talking about brand history and products, so there will surely be stories you can’t hear anywhere else...!

WELLDONE POPUP
We will also be hosting a POPUP for WELLDONE, old friends of Circles Nagoya who explore the theme of "Bicycle+α," connecting bikes with other forms of FUN like hiking and camping!
They will be holding a custom frame bag order event!
Furthermore, they are planning to provide a lineup of items that aren't usually available at Circles Tokyo!
Of course, their designer, Inocchi, will also be joining the ride event and manning the store!
By all means, don't just shop—I hope you'll take the opportunity to pick the brain of Inocchi himself about his experiences so far. You’ll likely become a fan of his, too.

CHRIS KING Overhaul School
Beyond their durability, ease of maintenance is a major draw for CHRIS KING products.
Our mechanic at Circles Nagoya, Mako-san, studied frame building in the U.S. and is a frame builder himself.
In fact, he is even in charge of manufacturing the SIMWORKS DOPPO frames.
He has 30 years of experience using CHRIS KING!!
He is a true child of CHRIS KING, having maintained and used his components for years. Now, Makoto Yokoyama is coming to Circles Tokyo!!
The session will focus on BB maintenance that can be done without dedicated tools, as well as an explanation of the hub overhaul structure.
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your parts, so why not use this opportunity to learn how to do it yourself?
Attendees will receive CHRIS KING Silver Grease as a gift!
SILVER Grease is a lubricant optimized for hubs and bottom bracket bearings.
It is designed for use as a lubricant for high-performance hub and bottom bracket bearings. This nanoparticle lubricant is designed to provide extremely low drag while offering superior weather resistance. It can be used for both steel and ceramic bearings.
