Note: cd = candle power. Power in Watts (W) is no longer a valid comparison between the major technologies of halogen, LED (Light Emitting Diode) and HID (High Efficiency Discharge LED). As there is no recognized standard, ratings will differ between manufactuers, but the cd rating will help compare ratings between different models from the same manufacturer.

Next time you visit the store our new Customer Relations Manager may rush out to greet you.
Nala is a Border Terrier cross, recently adopted into Phil's family and the Crank It Cycles team. She comes to us from the SPCA, rescued after being found abandoned in a box with her sister. She appears to have put her past behind her and has made herself at home at Crank It, claiming a prime spot on the couch when she needs a nap.

For some, retirement means a time to slow down and take it easy. Not for David Thompson, retired Massey University History lecturer. Over two years, he circumnavigated Australia on a Giant Sedona DX.
David with his Giant Sedona DX, after it received a post-tour service
The trip was undertaken in two stages, during the cooler seasons, to avoid the heat of summer and the need to carry too much water. Loaded with 15kg of water and about another 30kg of luggage in pannier bags and a Bob trailer, David was able to travel independently for 3 days (2 nights), covering up to 120km per day.
The first leg of 9000km started at Brisbane and progressed North and West, ending in Perth. The bike was stored with friends in Perth over the summer before embarking on the second, 7000km leg from Perth to Cairns, including 4000km on dirt roads.
One of the many highlights was seeing the desert in bloom due to recent rare rains, and the abundant wildlife it supported.
Thwarted by mechanical failure in an earlier attempt, he decided to get a bike more suited to the task and chose the Sedona DX for its comfortable riding style, durable components and features like disc brakes (needed to bring a loaded bike to a halt) and suspension forks (for comfort on rough back country roads.) "The bike was good for the job," was David's verdict. The only mechanical problem was a broken rear rim, which was replaced with a stronger one to cope with the heavy load. By attending to regular maintenance, like replacing the chain before it was too worn, he only needed to replace the cassette twice. |
