Silver, polished pedals may not go with every bike, so we're now offering our popular Sabot Pedals in the Noir colorway. Details include a polished black anodized pedal body, silver rounded pins, and a silver spindle for contrast. Three sealed, cartridge bearings make a super smooth spinning pedal with loads of real estate to support any shoe from bulky hiking boots to minimal sandals and everything in between. The rounded traction pins won't tear up your leather-soled dress shoes, either.
Similarly to the aforementioned Sabots, a polished, silver headset may not go with every bike. Plus, black is faster, second only to red. It's science. Grand Cru headsets have oversized, sealed cartridge bearings and lightweight alloy construction. Split crown races make installation a breeze and maintenance is basically non-existent. Easy-peasy.
Maybe you don't think that downtube cable stops are exciting, but these little guys from Dia-Compe are incredibly handsome. The ridges on the barrel make for easy micro-adjustment while in the saddle or in the workstand. Button head mounting screws are included.
You'd be surprised how often we get asked for yellow housing, so we made it. Bam! Available in both Shift and Brake Kits.
I love low-profile brakes for touring bikes. They don't interfere with luggage and have excellent stopping power. These 710's from Tektro are good quality brakes. They don't have the adjustability or high-quality brake pads that our Grand Cru Zestes have, but they do have an adjustor barrel and are a cinch to install.
We also re-stocked on other items such as fenders, brakes, hardware, and cable housing. Here's the full list:
- Black alloy cable hangers
- Grand Cru long reach brakes in noir
- Grand Cru Zeste cantilever brakes
- Gran Compe brake lever cable adjuster
- VO bottle cage clamps
- Metallic braid brake cable kits
- Zeppelin 52 mm 650b fenders in silver
- Hammered 45 mm 700C fenders in noir
- Touring pedals
- Copenhagen dual leg kickstand
- Dajia extra long 27.2 mm seatpost
- Dajia 1B seat post in 25.4 and 27.2 mm
- Dia Compe ENE down tube shifter
- Dia Compe ENE bar-end shifter
- Diagonale 26" rim in 36 hole
- PBP 27" rim

I can't believe I'm reading this at Velo Orange of all places. It's well documented that orange is the fastest color!
