It’s that time guys, time for another New Bike Day Post! Before we got hit with this dang polar vortex people were scoopin’ up new bikes left and right! We think based on the wide tired nature of this recent batch of purchases that people are getting excited for some off road Singletrack ridin’ this Spring! Don’t let this frigid weather get you down, warm weather is around the corner and Spring will be rollin’ through before you know it!

Polar VorteX got ya down? How about some shots of this dreamy new Cannondale SuperX to cheer you up? SuperX > VorteX 😂 get it? Anyways, we just got our first totally new and redesigned SuperX and man, we freakin’ love it! This bike is a no-compromise gravel race bike, with completely hidden cables, hidden top tube mount, big tire clearance, and a geometry that blurs the line of cyclocross agility and gravel stability. As many of you may have wondered, we questioned what the actual max tire clearance of this rig would be, so we checked on that detail for ya! We mounted up some Schwalbe Thunder Burt 29 X 2.1’s and sure enough, they cleared no prob. We probably wouldn’t run this tire in the back if we were expecting a muddy race, but if it’s dry there should be no issues.

From Start to Finish. What began as an idea became a pile of parts, became a complete bike, and now that complete bike will be ridden for many years on countless adventures. This @3tbike Extrema Italia Project X is complete, but the story is just beginning.

It’s time for Part 2 of our SBB @lakemacclassic series. This one features all the @corvus_af bikes (formerly Fatback) we could find out rippin’ at the event this weekend! We were even luckily enough to nab a pic of Collin’s vintage army green #fatbackrhino!

Our Annual Fat Tire Race @lakemacclassic was today and although there was no snow the weather was freakin’ perfect. A pleasant 32 degrees with low winds and just enough clouds to keep the sun from thawing out the frozen solid ground. It was fast! We had a blast collecting photos of folks and their @otsocycles fat bikes purchased from SBB over the years. Stay tuned for SBB bikes @lakemacclassic part 2!

Check out our latest custom build, Edgar’s @3tbike Extrema Italia Project X version! 🔥 Edgar opted for the ultra stealth Project X paint scheme which opts for an ultra thin matte clear coat to showcase the beautifully crafted carbon fiber layups underneath. It’s really amazing how you can see all the different types of carbon filaments and weaves used in different areas of the frame to optimize strength, weight, and compliance. It’s a true work of art hand crafted in Italy. We’ve got this beauty chillin’ at the shop for a couple more days until it goes to its forever home, stop on by if you’d like to take a look for yourself!

Another beautiful new gravel bike out in the wild! Behold Lance’s @3tbike Extrema Italia in all its glory. Just one of many options we have that can accommodate 2” wide tires with room to spare while still maintaining a nimble feel and racy geometry. (The Extrema fits 700 X 57!) All 3T Extrema Italia frames are 100% made to order at their factory in Italy and usually have around a 6-8 week lead time.

Support Local, Shop Small. The Holiday Season is here and with that comes our annual Small Business Weekend Sale. It’s not just a sale but a thank you to all our customers and a friendly reminder to everyone how important it is to support small local businesses like us! We will be closing early on Wednesday at 3PM to get a jump start on a couple days of time off. We will be back on Saturday to kick off our weekend sale at 10am. We’ve got some great deals on items at 25-50% off, in addition to the 45NRTH Coldweather gear and Aventon E -Bike sales we’ve been running all month. Hit the link in our bio for all the sale details!

We know it’s tempting to shell up on the trainer and log those Zwift miles, but we think the best way to make it through winter is with a good mix of indoor and outdoor training. To help you with this we currently have a ton of really nice coldweather clothing on sale, including 50% off almost everything from the leader in coldweather cycling apparel, 45NRTH. We have 45NRTH Winter Boots, Pants, Jackets, Gloves, Headwear etc. for 50% off or close to it. Much of this clothing can be special ordered at that sale price, so if you don’t see exactly what you want, let us know and there is a chance we can order it for you at that sale price.

Our 2024 Trail Day with @coralvilleparksrec is complete and was a huge success! We all agree that the new trail “Panther Lunch” is the best trail we’ve worked on to date (and best name too!)
.
This trail is done and ready to rip, all it needs now is tires to ride in the lines and smooooth things out.
.
We think y’all are really gonna love the creek views and rocky features section! To find this new trail ride the paved path West after Woodpecker, the connector, and Smokey’s Treat. Keep riding until you see the big logs and trail closed sign. This trail is called Deadwood and even though it says it’s closed, it’s totally open! After passing through half of Deadwood take a right to go under the bridge and that’s the beginning of Panther Lunch!

Happy #NewBikeDay Dave! It’s been a while since we featured a new bike day over here, and we thought Dave’s super capable @santacruzbicycles Stigmata would be a fitting bike to start our NBD series rolling again! After a few years of loving his Cannondale Super X it was time to upgrade to something new with internal frame storage, rowdier modern geometry, and more tire clearance, (29 X 2.1 rear and up to 29 X 2.4 front tires fit in the new Stigmata!) Some other notable features of this bike include the all new @sramroad shifters and brakes paired with @srammtb eagle transmission drivetrain. On this bike you’ll also find an AXS XPLR dropper, Rudy suspension fork, and @vittoriatires airliner lite tire liners to protect those rims from rock and root hits.

Once again we will be teaming up with @coralvilleparksrec for a community trail work day! Join us Tuesday November 12th as we blaze a new section of trail extending off of the Deadwood Trail near the intersection of Deer Creek Rd. & 2nd St. in Coralville. We will be working from 9 to 5 but we invite anyone to come out and help for any amount of time you can spare! Bring tools if you have them! The corridor is cleared already for the most part so we will mostly be using tools such as steel rakes, rogue hoes, flat shovels, etc.

Listen to the sound…. It’s the sound of Fat Bike Season trickling in. It’s damp, leafy, calm, and cool…. perfect fat biking shoulder season before it gets really cold out! For a limited time we have a size run of CLOSEOUT @otsocycles Voytek 1’s in various color options including our favorite, this Pink Sunflower color way. We do expect these to sell out by the end of the month to mid December, so don’t wait on this one!

Hey Folks, rather than wait around on Wednesday to see what happens with the weather we have decided to cancel and call an end to our regular season rides. Last week’s group ride was awesome with 23 people attending our urban adventure ride and we feel that ride was a great way to close out the season!
.
We are going to take a much needed break for a while and hopefully we won’t have to wait too long before we get some snow and we can host some Fat Bike Group Rides!
.
We had a great time hosting these group rides and can’t wait to do it again next year! If you enjoyed our rides please consider us the next time you need a Tune Up, some new gear, or when its time to add that N+1 to your stable :-). We also really appreciate a good google review :-).

Last week’s urban adventure ride was a total blast and this week’s will be even better, we promise! This week we will be meeting at Waterworks Park at 6PM and taking a full Bandit & Alleyway Tour of Iowa City. Very few secret trails will be left out! If you want a great guided tour of some of Iowa City’s most awesome and secret bicycle passageways, you won’t want to miss this one! This ride will have around a 13mph average pace by the time we are done, with various meetup spots along the way. Mountain bikes or Fat bikes are highly recommended for this one! As always this is a DROP ride and all riders should be prepared to take care of themselves in the event of a mechanical or getting dropped. Route is posted on the rides page! *Note: if you attempt to ride this route unguided you will surely get confused, lost, and/or miss many of these trails, so please join us on Wednesday!

Not too long ago we took a day off for our annual quick shop trip. We hit up the amazing @tmbrtrails Proving Grounds followed by Interstate Power Preserve (IPP) trails in Dubuque. If you haven’t been there we highly recommend taking the short 90 minute drive to check them out! Both trails feature unique features and topography you’d be surprised to find in Iowa.

This Wednesday join us for the first ride of our SBB Urban Adventure Series! Check these details y’all:
.
Adventure series rides are fun in-town rides featuring Singletrack sectors and all the most fun ways to get to them! Mountain bikes and fat bikes are the recommended tool but gravel/cross bikes with big tires will suffice.
.
These are DROP rides with a few meetup points where we will wait up for folks for a few minutes. We won’t wait forever though, so be prepared to fend for yourself out there if you get dropped. We think the pace of these rides will end up with a 12-13 mph average all said and done. Think faster on pavement and slower on the trails 😉.
.
Some suggested but not mandatory skills to have for these rides include but are not limited to the following:
.
Riding over logs ✅
Bunnyhopping curbs ✅
Riding down stairs ✅
Riding down really steep stuff ✅
Dodging deer 🦌 ✅
Riding up really steep stuff ✅
Having a freakin’ blast (ok this one is mandatory) ✅
.
Route and more info is on the rides page (link in bio)

This is it everyone, the final SBB Wednesday Night Gravel Ride of the season is this Wednesday! It’s been a great year of rides and we are so happy everyone could join us for this new ride format. This week’s ride will consist of one group only, with a 15-16mph average ride pace and three meetup spots. Please consider joining us for this final ride. The route is a goodie and you know we will be hangin’ @fielddaybeer to celebrate the final ride with a free drink for all riders!!
.
Don’t be too sad though, while things are changing this is not goodbye! Next week we begin our three week Urban Adventure Campaign to keep you motivated and riding through the rest of October! 🎃 🍁 🌙 Stay tuned for more info on this!

It’s time for the annual SBB Employee Shop Ride Day! That means we will be closed this Wednesday to go shred the trails in Dubuque! We will also not be holding the WNG Pacer ride on this day. We will be back for our final WNG ride of the year next Wednesday, and the shop will be back open Thursday.

Today we tested out something new with the first ever SBB B Road Enduro. We did a 55 mile group ride with a route that included 3 timed B Road Segments. We stopped at the start of each segment, sent riders out one at a time, and then regrouped after the segment to continue onto the next one together. The heat and hills took their toll on the group and only three riders completed the enduro, but it was a good time for all. Congrats to @gabe_hobbie on taking the 🥇, @kaden_snoop taking 🥈, and @tongi_mk coming in 🥉! We look forward to doing this again, if you have any ideas for what the next one should be leave your idea in the comments!

This week’s Wednesday group ride routes are posted on the website. Once again we’ve got some killer routes for y’all, and the weather just keeps getting better! A/B Routes feature 3 beautiful B roads, and C route is hitting the Baja B Road for the first time this year, so this is one you really don’t wanna miss. As always, please join us for food and bevies @fielddaybeer after the ride!

Wednesday Night Gravelers Mount Up! It’s going to be another beautiful night and we’ve got some 🔥 routes planned! You really can’t beat the cool temps and dwindling daylight vibes that we will be getting on the next few group rides.
.
Routes are live on the website and we are still looking for a handful of ride leaders and sweepers. Please consider volunteering to lead or sweep! Just a reminder, the only qualifications to lead or sweep is being able to hold the pace of your group, and having done a handful of our rides so you know the ropes!
