SEVENTIES’ BRAND list reads like a one-stop-shop for anything wheel related, with brans such as Primo shipping over legendary products such as the concrete conquering Wall tyre and Dirt Monster – the staple of trails riders in the UK for years. It’s the Cult label that is making the headlines at the moment in the BMX market and Seventies is the exclusive supplier here. With fatter tyres trending for the street and park rider, Cult’s signature Chase Dehart Tyre is a 2.25 thick, robust unit with tough tear resistant sidewalls and great grip right to the edge of the tread. The brand also has ventured into complete wheels, with a
male axle rear cassette complete wheel, centred around a Primo Mix inspired hub, again a proven product in the market. Up front, the complete wheel comes in a 36-hole female axle design. Seventies also supplies complete wheels from Primo, Hoffman, Rant and The Shadow Conspiracy. 0845 3103670
Fisher Outdoor
IF YOU haven’t heard of CST before now, then let’s just say they’re the company behind Maxxis,
meaning they known a thing or two about the manufacture of tyres for all weather conditions. It’s a carefully thought out label,
which on the packaging features a simple-to-understand star system allowing the end-user to pick the best product for them without the need for too much assistance. Puncture protection is carefully thought out, with each tyre offering a protection strip of varying thicknesses
Hope
HOPE HAS now been building wheels for over five years and in this time has built-up a reputation for build quality and the link ups with Stans that have seen so many wheels go tubeless ready. All wheels are
machine-built, then de- stressed and hand finished. The wheels are available with conventional, or straight pull spokes on both proven Pro 2 EVO and Pro 3 Mono hubs
depending on the use. Tyres begin at just £11.99 at retail, meaning the customer can still take home a product with performance aspects on a budget. The label also produces
a comprehensive line of inner
tubes spanning 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 26-inch and various 700 sizes. Fisher also supplies the Zipp wheel label to the cycle trade, which as well as making air slicing wheels, also produces tubular and clincher tyres. Look out for the Tangente range in 21 or 23mm widths if your customer wants a lightweight tyre to boost their acceleration with little more effort. 01353 662662
