Oxford Products
SUPPLYING A series of tools and multitools, largely under the £25 mark, Oxford Products can supply plenty for the amateur mechanic, from cone spanners and cabel cutters, through more advanced items like cotterless crank extractors. Staple goods such as
multitools are also available, with a ten-tool unit costing just £15.99 and coming equipped with chrome vanadium steel allen keys spanning 2mm to 8mm and holding screwdrivers and a Torx 25 key. A carry pouch is also included. A series of cleaning
brushes are also available in a handy pack of four, each with ergonomically designed handles and tough bristles. 01993 862 300
Zyro
FOR 2012, Fenwick’s steps forwards with a major facelift and several new products. Some lines have received name
changes to improve clarity and understanding in the eyes of the consumer – for example, the £8.99 Frame and Shock Finishing Spray becomes Showroom Finish Spray, FS Foaming Degreaser becomes Foaming Chain Cleaner and all new labels include QR codes, which directs to video, showing the product being used. New products include lower-priced sizes of aerosols, the simple Chain Cleaning Sponge (£1.99), the non-latex Airtight Tubeless Tyre Sealant (£19.99) and the Stealth Road and Stealth Mountain Bike lubes (£9.99). These new performance-oriented lubes are created by a combination of specialist synthetic components; handpicked by a master lubricant formulator, a surfactant specialist and a material scientist. Minoura has some workshop standard workstands and truing jigs available through Zyro, including the £109.99 True Pro wheel jig, which is now compatible with 29er and carbon rims. A spoke key is included in the package. Finally, Zefal (aside from producing a
new series of pumps) also offers brush kits for the customer with a taste for keeping their bike looking fresh. These start at just £5.99 and various brushes are available for different tasks. A brush set retails for £15.99. 01845 521700
Weldtite
WELDTITE HAS plenty going on at present, as demonstrated recently on their stand at Eurobike. Log onto
BikeBiz.com and search Weldtite for more on the brand’s latest highly adaptable workshop stand head, which is capable of latching onto car tow balls, among other things. A highlight from the latest additions to the tool line is the 07701 universal bottom bracket removal tool set. Bottom brackets come under more pressure during the winter because of the bad weather, and it is the time when many fail, so having the tool for a
workshop service is essential. Weldtite also offers a DVD free-of- charge showing demonstrations of how all its workshop tools are used – just call the firm for a copy. For cleaners,
Weldtite has an offer launching before Christmas. During 2012, a one-litre Dirtwash bike cleaner will be on ‘three for two promotion’. The 2012
trade price for a 12 pack of Dirtwash
one litre cleaner is £47.00 per pack making the cost of an individual bottle £3.92. By taking advantage of the three- for-two promotion retailers will pay £94.00 for three packs of Dirtwash making the cost of an individual bottle £2.61 trade which is a discount of 59 per cent and gives your store an opportunity to offer the product to your customers at a substantially better price than any other bike cleaner currently in the market, says Weldtite. 01652 660000
