behave like your everyday tube: When punctured it closes around the object and seals, as opposed to splitting
Lake’s new MX145 Boot
Living Large?
Moore Large significantly upped it’s offering to dealers attending its Today’s Cyclist show this year. Mark Sutton travelled to the Derby HQ to discover brand additions, jump, spin and hop competitions and much more...
MICROSHIFT Shown for the first time at a Moore Large exhibition, alternative drivetrain components label Microshift is now in stock with the Derby distributor. That gives dealers access to a three tier
product range, made up of the entry level Centos, mid-level Bona and high-end Arsis drivetrain components. At the performance end you’ll find a glossy ‘white’ version of all Arsis components too, providing those with white frames a matching groupset. Derailleurs are currently available in eight, nine and ten speed.
MICHELIN Also new to the stable, Michelin adds to Moore Large’s rubber stocks and brings with it new technology such as the Protek Max, a Eurobike gold award winner. The tube features a squarer profile, with bumps protruding from the main surface to prevent the tube twisting in the rim basin. Furthermore, this tube differs from standard tubes, which when punctured naturally split. The Protek Max compresses when piercing, giving the sealant inside a better chance of holding all of the pressure, no matter the size of the protruding object. At £10 a pop, they’re not the cheapest on the market, but they will
keep your customer rolling for longer without incident. Both Presta and Schrader valve tubes are available. Further to this, Michelin recently introduced
the Pro4 line, in varying levels for both competing and casual road riders. The Pro4 series all carry a tough 110 or 150 TPI casing and come in a £37.99 Endurance variation for extra longevity, the 165 gram, Comp Limited for optimised grip and low rolling resistance and Pro 4 Service course for top speed in all weather conditions. There is also a standard Comp tyre retailing at £43.99.
KNOG Joining the already well stacked line of silicone-covered ‘sausage locks’, Knog’s Party Coil was shown. Designed as a versatile secondary security lock that rolls up and stays compact, the 1.3 metre coil houses a 10mm braided steel and fibre core cable. The shackle is an 8mm stainless steel unit and there are 1,000 unique key combinations. The Moore Large show also saw the entire
Blinder range in one place with a 50-gram Road Blinder with 290-degree illumination seen in various designs.
