Keeping kids on bikes!

When I first started working at Dragons Sports I wanted to use our overseas contacts to get in some good quality and yet still affordable bike parts. I'm glad to say that our first shipment of these parts is on the water and due early Jan 2010.

We realised that most kids, who buy an entry or mid level bike, will need to upgrade their parts within the first year and cranks and BB's tend to be high on the list. However, buying a R2500 bike and then having to spend R1500 on cranks in the first year is a serious problem for most riders. Most kids/parents can't afford or justify spending this amount on kids bike and most will just sell the bike and never ride again.

Dragons Sports will be filling the mid range void and bringing in these cranks and BB sets. These should retail around the R599 for a set and will come with either USA, Mid or Spanish bearings.

There will also be 25t and 28t sprockets in Anodized green and Anodized red. These will be around the R260 range. (Photos of these when they arrive.)

Here are images of the Unsealed mid bb, USA, Mid and Spanish sealed bearing bb's as well as the 13d Cranks. Cranks will include arms and spindle with bolts for sprocket and axle. BB's sold with all spacers. These are only avialible in 19mm spindle and bearing sizes.
