SXC 2010-11 Series sponsor.

This week, we are delighted to announce that Dales Cycles will be the headlining sponsor for the Scottish cross-country mountain bike race series.

More on this exiting new development to come!

It's simple, just win everything!

The results of the IMTTO constructors championships are in, and guess what, 3 of the top 5 places are covered by our premier brands, Specialized, Giant and Scott.....nice!

"New for 2009! IMTTO have introduced a Constructors Championship where all manufacturers whose bikes get raced at World Cups and World Championships, can score points. The points are awarded to the top 20 places in Men's XC, DH and 4X, and Top 10 in Women's XC, DH and 4X. This is also the case for World Championships, for all age categories."

1. Specialized = 648
2. Trek = 415
3. Giant = 404
4. Intense = 375
5. Scott = 361
6. Yeti = 359
7. GT = 348
8. Santa Cruz = 324
9. Commencal = 303
10. Merida = 269

Sam nails it for Specialized!

In a thrilling finale to the 2009 UCI DH world championship series at Schladming in Austria, a race where 4 guys could have took the overall on the last day, the seemingly unstoppable Sam Hill piloted his Specialized Demo to an amazing victory.

Sam Blenkinsop had the hotseat for the lions share of the final runs until the super loose Hill took the Schladming course by the scruff of the neck and re-established himself as the best in the world next to newly crowned world champion Steve "Sheffield steel" Peat.

Want a 2010 Demo? Well they are available for pre-order (November) at Dales Cycles by calling or e-mailing us.

You're hired!

It could be you hearing the immortal words made famous by Sir Alan Sugar and Donald Trump, but only if you have the required skills to take on our Glasgow distribution warehouse.

Click the Vacancies button on the left navigation bar and find out more.

The Bill has been killed.......

Well, we're all back from the first KILL the BILL downhill at Fort William, 3 days in changeable weather and fresh air will do wonders for your circulation and the way you sleep in your own bed!

There will be a dedicated page put up on our website soon to let you know how we all got on, but for now you can read the race repo on descent-world by clicking the link HERE

Also you can find a full results list HERE

Also Scott Cartwrights Eggraphy have photo's HERE

Peaty wins!

Nothing to do with Dales Cycles, but I felt I just had to give 5 minutes of my time to the old man of DH. Finally (after a while trying) Steve Peat beats South African team mate Greg Minnaar by 0.05 seconds to take the UCI Downhill world downhill championship medal.....Well done Steve!

Change is good!

Just this last few days, our team of super skilled Cytec trained cycle mechanics have moved into their new underground lair, moving from the shop floor down into a new part of the shop, thus gaining an extra 400 square feet of workspace.
The Dales workshop is somewhat legendary in the Glasgow area, both for the fast turnaround and our mechanics vast experience over many brands and types of bicycle, so moving into a workshop that now covers nearly 1000 square feet will enable the guys to keep up the great service that our customers are used to.
Just take your bike into the usual entrance and one of the guys will magically appear and put your technical woes to bed.

More to come..........

Its going be a busy few weeks....

So.... in amongst the 2010 bikes starting to filter in, we have folks trekking off to Eurobike to check out the newest products and services, we have guys at the trade launches for Giant, Scott and Specialized and of course we have "KILL the BILL" downhill race at Fort William to look forward to as well. If you are in the Highlands on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September, swing by the Nevis Range for a first class view of grass roots UK downhill racing at its best.
