KCNC cables.jpgNew coloured cables from KCNC
Like your bike but feel there’s something not quite right about it? Could it be the cables? Is their unadventurous silver colour just not doing it for you? You’re in luck; you can now kit it out with Teflon-coated coloured cables from KCNC, available in a range of different shades.
They’re stainless steel cables with a “Nano Teflon” coating – everything has gone nano lately. It's a dry, solid lubricant coating to reduce friction inside the cable housings. Wet lubricants are not recommended here.
The cables are available in green, orange, pink, red, white and baby blue, and they come with matching alloy end caps. Pimptastic.
Gear cables are in stock now at £3.39 a go, and brake cables on their way. Get them at clee-cycles.co.uk.

How does Mr Lucy tell you he's a bit of an arsehole without telling you he's a bit of an arsehole?

At least the van driver was nowhere near the stationary cyclist.

The BMX racers are also no longer being supported. Kye Whyte said he's lost his GT sponsorship. It also looks like GT will no longer make BMX bikes.

No yellow? no good.
These are coloured INNER cables?
With these colour coordinated cables I can at last attain contentment and be at peace with the world.
