After 6 years with Giant Bikes, we’ve made the decision to not continue with the brand this season. Many reasons that we don’t need to go into detail about here, but we felt the time was right to move on. For those customers who have bought Giant and Liv from us, we’ll continue to support you as much as we can with spares, warranties and of course regular servicing. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly.

Nytt varumärke!

No.3 Chain Lube: Wickens & Soderstrom No.3 is our standard chain lubricant. The little brother of No.5 it combines oils, waxes and micro particles to smooth the surface of the drivetrain and lubricate. •Reduces friction •Reduces vibration •Reduces drive train noise •Protects drive train from dirt and moisture •Cleans as it lubricates |
We Say, chain lube is a hard thing to be excited about, but Wickens and Soderstrom No.3 is brilliant stuff. It keeps things quiet, helps clean your chain and actually makes cleaning the chain easier. We’ll take another, thanks. FactoryJackson |

No.4 Suspension Lube: Wickens & Soderstrom No.4 is our Nano suspension lubricant. It combines oils, waxes and Nano particles to protect and lubricate without attracting dirt, affecting suspension coatings or seal performance. We developed, & released this product in partnership with TF Tuned. • Reduces friction • Reduces wear • Prolongs the life of seals and coatings • Protects suspension from dirt and moisture • Cleans as it lubricates |
TF Tuned’s Ian Kennedy said: “Any product we use in the workshop has to work effectively and offer noticeable maintenance and performance benefits for the suspension we service. The suspension lubricant developed by Wickens & Soderstrom reduces breakaway force and seal stiction whilst also protecting the fork stanchions or shock body. Using the No. 4 Tuned Suspension Lubricant as part of a regular cleaning and maintenance regime will help reduce wear on the surfaces and seals of your suspension. We will be using No.4 Tuned Suspension Lubricant for all our suspension service jobs.” |
 |
No.5 Drivetrain Lube: Wickens & Soderstrom No.5 is our Nano drive train lubricant. It is the result of 2 years work combining oils, waxes and Nano particles to smooth the surface of the drivetrain and lubricate. • Reduces friction • Reduces vibration • Reduces drive train noise • Protects drive train from dirt and moisture • Cleans as it lubricates |
The No 5 lube is the best chain lube we have used, period. Our mechan- ics are very, very fussy and having tested most chain lubes on the mar- ket, this is the only one that makes it into our workshop. A dream drivetrain lube from a me- chanics point of view. Keeps the drivetrain running clean and pretty much silent. It’s neither too wet, or too dry, Nor too sticky and doesn’t wear off too quickly. In fact, it ap- pears to last far longer than any oth- er oil I’ve come across. Josh Finney, ubyk The moment we rst got No.5 we knew we had a product a cut above the rest on our hands (or even chains!). We use the lube on our race bikes, trail bikes, commuter bikes – you name it! Always super smooth, clean and long lasting! Matt Allingham, Head Mechanic, FMD/Transition Factory Racing & Founder of The Bicycle Service To conclude, if you are looking for an alternative to mainstream brands like Mucoff I encourage you to try W&S, especially the No.5 Lubricant it really is incredible, it will be my go to oil from this point forward regardless if I’m racing or training on both road and mountain bike. ukxcnews.com/ |

GIANT EXPERIENCE CENTER
We’re proud to announce that for 2016 we’ve been appointed as a Giant Bicycles Experience Centre!
This means we’ve sort of upgraded what we do with the Giant brand! We’re carrying a wide range of the latest models from both Giant and Liv, we’ve got demo bikes available to try, we have an in depth knowledge and understanding of the brands and also have accessories and clothing for both men and women.
This is a further development of the brand we have worked with since year one. We’re continually impressed with the way Giant (the biggest manufacturer of bikes in the world) utilize the latest technology and strive to produce some of the best bikes available across all categories.
We hope you can see our commitment to the brand when you visit the store. We’ve got a dedicated area showcasing some of the latest models and will only be happy to help you deciding which new Giant is for you!
TEAM VELOTEK SWEDEN
Enduro meets Funduro! Team Velotek will be out in force this season onboard their Giant Reign Advanced bikes. You won’t miss them as the colour combinations are ‘hi viz’!
The team of 5 will be racing the Enduro Series Sweden as well as just razzing around their local trails and most likely a few bike parks along the way. The idea came about to combine what they were already doing and make it slightly more official – in the loosest sense!
This isn’t your average race team, as the beer and champagne sponsor will back up! They are out there having fun, riding bikes and generally having a good time. Each team member has raced in different disciplines over the years (of which there are many!) and still likes to think they are as fast as they were. We’ll see how the season goes…
It’s not all serious of course. Racing is just one part of it. Riding and drinking beer is almost equally as important! So if you see a flash of turquoise/orange/yellow in the forest, it might just be one of the team. Say hello, or help them up when they crash! (they’ll do the same for you!)
They are riding Giant Reign Advanced carbon bikes dripping with Hope Tech shiny bits with Maxxis tyres helping them get around the fun stuff whilst Alpinestars, Giro and Oakley will make them look like they know what they are doing! Shimano make sure they stay attached to the bike at all times with shoes and pedals and Skägårdslager and Paul Goerg champagne will hydrate the team throughout the year!
To see what the boys are upto and what kind of trouble they find – follow them on FB on their own Team page.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
Top tips for the season ahead.
OK – we’re finally heading for some nicer weather and it’s time to get ready to ride. But where to begin? Here are some of our top tips to get you and your bike ready for some action!
1/ Give you bike some love! We’re not just trying to sell you some new parts or a service in the workshop, but one of two things happened over the winter. Your bike got used and abused in allsorts of terrible weather OR it got left to its own after last summer and hasn’t turned a wheel for some months!
Either way, it needs a bit of TLC. Chain wear? Time for some new pads or cables? Suspension performance gone down? Grips worn out, tyres cracked or wheels bent? A little service goes a long way and makes your riding more fun, easier and much less frustrating when something goes wrong that could have been avoided. //Bobby
2/ You! Not been keeping up with the training programme? Been ski-ing/skating/drinking instead?! Don’t be too hard on yourself – take it easy on the first ride out, break yourself (and your butt) in gently on that first ride. Riding is all about fun (at least we think so!) try to remember that. PB’s KOM’s and the like are all great, but so is a smile and a muddy face. //Neil
3/ Lube. Little and often. Lube your chain and moving parts of the drivetrain as and when needed using the right product. Your bike will love you for it. //Lotten
4/ Try something new. Make your riding fun. Learn something new. Can’t hop over that fallen down tree on your favourite trail? Learn how to!! Basically you’d be amazed how much fun it can be just to go and play in the woods! Not sure how to do it? Keep your eyes on our FB page for ‘Skills courses’… we might be able to help! //Neil
5/ Go somewhere different. There are loads of trails in and around your local area and you’ve probably ridden them a hundred times. Explore a little. Try a day at a bike park, join a ride in another town, go with another group and see your own trails differently. Take a left instead of the usual right… //Lotten
6/ Motivate yourself with something new! OK… blatant sales pitch… old helmet a bit stinky/not that cool anymore? Shorts seen better days? Shoes ready for the bin? New stuff is always nice, but the first bits of the season just seem to be that bit nicer! //Lotten
7/ There’s no such thing as bad weather! (just the wrong clothes!) or maybe just the wrong frame of mind… rain gives slippery trails which means better bike handling. Mud means harder work which gives more strength. Wind means… oh wait a minute, there is such a thing as bad weather! //Neil
8/ Experiment with setup. Try a lower tyre pressure (or some different tyres) Change of saddle position or stem length. Cleat setup. Suspension settings… maybe everything is perfect with your setup already… we bet it’s not!! //Bobby
9/ Training? Why not go for a ride? Training is all well and good, but fun with friends is too. Stop for a coffee half way around, cook some korv in the forest or maybe even (dare I say it…) have a beer afterwards! You’ve earned it! //Lotten
10/ Just get out! We’ve sort of covered this, but we all ride a bike for different reasons, just getting out and doing it in whichever way suits you is better than not doing it at all. I know this isn’t everyones favourite, but I find Strava a really good tool for motivating me. I find new trails, I can use it with friends (not racing, I promise!) I get to have a new gadget for my bike… what’s not to like!? //Neil
NEW WORKSHOP
NEW WORKSHOP – The internet won’t fix your bike…
We’ve had a lot of projects on over the winter, but none as big as the new workshop. Our old store room became the new workshop, giving us more space to incorporate all of our services in one purpose built area.
A lot of time, effort (and money!) went into this and it’s the heart of the store. We’ve already acquired a great reputation for what we do and this only helps us to take things to the next level.
The new space gives us room for upto 3 bikes to be worked on at any one time (great for frame swaps and custom builds) dedicated work space for suspension service, wheel building, brake bleeding, hub work, cleaning and skate sharpening/repair.
Our well stocked spare parts store is right next door and we’re more efficient than ever with a fully computerized booking system and calendar.
It’s not just the workshop itself that got a revamp either. Over the winter we’ve been working hard to keep ourselves updated with new technology and service procedures. We’re proud to say that we’re now officially recognized as a SHIMANO SERVICE CENTER – this means we have an in depth knowledge and understanding of Shimano product and technology, keep genuine parts in stock and can deal with most aspects of the Shimano brand. This has been a big undertaking from us, but it’s not just a one hit thing. We are also enrolled in a Shimano TEC programme, which means we regularly (weekly) sit at the computer and ‘go back to school’ in order to complete a vast (and ever growing) technical course designed to make us fully aware of all Shimanos latest technologies and service procedures.
As if this wasn’t enough – we’ve also recently been accredited as a FOX FACTORY SERVICE CENTRE. One step further on the suspension servicing ladder. This adds to our Rock Shox servicing recognition, Cannondale Official service partner and most recently – Cane Creek suspension service. All this investment in skills, knowledge, tooling and spare parts means we are well covered when it comes to looking after your bike!
Have a look under the workshop tab for more information about our workshop. We’re proud of it and what it can do.
