Como Trikes e-recumbents Direct:
www.comotrikes.com
COMO TRIKES of Maldon, Essex has launched a range of three recumbent trikes with electric assist. There’s a model for road, touring and load carrying
and off-road adventures, in the form of the Via, Tour and Lite, respectively. The trikes incorporate the Falco e-drive system (a silent five-phase torque sensor hub motor) in 250W guise (or 500W for off-road and where permitted on-road). Power level is controlled from the handlebars and a pad where output can be adjusted. Combine this with 18 gears and the trikes are extremely adaptable for travel around town, or out on the road and trail. As you’d expect, the seat is ergonomically designed and high enough to rest the head. In the back of the ‘saddle’ you’ll find a high level rear light built in. The reclining seat and handlebars fold down when not in use. All models have rear suspension and hydraulic disc
brakes front and rear. The seat and frame are designed for ease of getting on and off. Owner of Como Rob Murrells is keen to link with
dealers who may have a customer base or individual customer lined up. He is contactable on

Eat My Dirt Cleaner Direct:
info@eatmydirt.eu
THERE’S A new cleaner on the block and it’s looking for retail partners in the cycling business. Eat My Dirt has, like many others, come across from the motoring cleaners world and now has eyes for expansion among pedal power enthusiasts. So, what’s different about Eat My Dirt? Well the
part the label is most enthused about is the fact the product is pH neutral, yet strong enough to remove grime as tough as brake dust from alloy wheels. The solution is designed to be diluted down to a
20:1 ratio with water for standard cleaning jobs, meaning one bottle will go far. But thanks to its pH neutrality, won’t harm decals or discs if applied to tougher grime without added water. The product is also safe to use by those with sensitive skin.
Shimano XTR wheels & brakes Madison: 0208 385 3385
SHIMANO HAS revealed its revamped XTR kit, with fresh components, brakes and wheels benefiting from a weight-busting diet. Starting with the wheels, Shimano’s athletes
wanted the scales to tip sooner and for their wheels to roll smoother, so the manufacturer has introduced a full carbon tubular, available as a 15mm E-thru system in the front and 12mm E-thru in the rear. Both have a centre lock rotor mount system and a quick engagement freehub body for perfect traction. Shimano has revealed its lightest hydraulic brakes.
Race-rated to match the power and control of the M985 Race brake while dropping weight by 40g per wheel, the M987 disc brake incorporates the use of a magnesium caliper and master cylinder construction. Meanwhile, the lever shaves further weight thanks to carbon construction and titanium hardware. Next to the brakes, rotors and wheels, the bottom bracket has been updated with new innovations. Both bottom brackets (thread type and pressfit type) are lighter, with better sealing and smoother rotation.
