15 july 2008 This Just in... In the last day or so we have just received the first stock of two highly awaited and much written about trail/AM bikes: The all new Santa Cruz Blur LT mk 2 and Pace's amazingly versatile 6" 506. Reviews on both bikes have been awesome, be the first to own one.
Pamper your Toes: Shimano custom fitted shoes. In addition to our bikefitting service and demo saddle program, we can offer you shoes individually moulded to your feet. We are one of only 50 shops in the UK selected by Shimano for this service, where these unique shoes are actually moulded and vacuum fitted to your feet. This dramatically improves the load spreading ability of the shoe, improving comfort and power transfer, whilst reducing pressure and hotspots, it really is the ultimate shoe solution for the dedicated rider. Check out the cheesy but informative Shimano video here Pamper your Bum. Try before you buy. Red Planet is now offering a large range of saddles you can try before splash out.
