This month BikeBiz discovers an essential garment for deflecting city fumes, a new way to weave carbon for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and much more...
Respro Cinqro face mask Madison: 0208 385 3385
JOINING THE Respro catalogue this month and Madison’s catalogue shortly is the Cinqro mask. Protecting the rider from airborne particles known to cause breathing difficulties, the unit includes two optional filters and has upgraded exhalation valve mouldings that allow heat and water vapour out to enable easier breathing during strenuous activity. The mask’s outer cover is constructed from sports Neoprene with an overlaid metallic skin in four colours with Limited Edition red, white and blue graphics. Respro MD and mask inventor Harry Cole comments: “A vast number of people exercise outside daily in any city and probably a larger percentage commute to work by bike. This consistent daily exposure to urban pollution such as airborne particulate matter, including black carbon soot particles, diesel dust, un-burnt fuel vapours or acid gases is enough to cause breathing difficulties ranging from an irritating cough to more serious chest conditions like exercise induced asthma.”
Evoke BMX parts Walkers Cycles: 01162 833885
NEW AND exclusive to Walkers Cycles is pocket money BMX components brand Evoke. With stock already at the distributor’s HQ, dealers now have access to 16 different components, all available in black, white, blue, red, purple or gold. Various chromoly handlebar dimensions and

budget, including transparent plastic pedals particularly popular with those customising their bikes. You’ll also find pivotal style seat and seat posts,
machined lightweight stems, a half link chain, tensioners, an aluminium u-brake and a number of brake pad and grips to choose from, again in a variety of colours.
United Nash Cranks and tyres 4Down: 01424 433 074
DESIGNED TO withstand the punishment of some of the world’s bravest street riders, United’s new Nash two-piece crank is Nathan William’s signature model. United says of the cranks: “The design has been kept slim, clean and simple to create classic looking arms without any fancy gimmicks, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. By hollowing out the 22mm spindle as much as possible and creating arms with a shape to offer greater bend resistance and strength, we have made a set of cranks Nathan is proud to put his name to.” As a final touch, all cranks are supplied with an installation/removal tool and a small sachet of grease, which make fitting them a breeze.
Pro TeXtreme disc wheels Madison: 0208 385 3385
SET FOR introduction at Eurobike, Pro will reveal a new disc wheel boasting a few industry firsts. The TexTreme wheel uses a unique carbon technology that is new to cycling. By spreading the carbon fibre yarns into tapes and arranging them in the woven structure in the straightest orientation possible, both in and out of the plane, the fibre properties can be exploited most effectively for carrying tensile and compressive loads. This creates an optimal strength-to-weight ratio and is a new way of working with carbon. The sub-1kg wheels measure 24mm wide and the woven Spread Tow structure from the TeXtreme Technology provides a superior surface smoothness. Another unique aspect of this wheel is the pressurized
oven used to create a one-piece monocoque construction, as opposed to two half shells bonded. The PRO TeXtreme disc wheel will be available within a complete disc line up on Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace level. The wheel will be assembled with an 11-speed Dura-Ace hub, but it is 10-speed compatible. A protective wheel bag and a valve adapter are included.
