Clarks Cycles Blog

a muddy Sundays riding gave good opportunity to put our new brakes through their paces. Rain, more rain, hail stones and mud made for some interesting riding. Equiped with sintered pads the new EXO brake has a good amount of power keeping these tricky conditions in check.

Throughout 2012 Clarks will be attending cycling events throughout the UK. We are taking along our tech team to support riders with advise as well as replacement cables or disc pads if needed. We are looking forward to seeing you guys and of course gals there, so come along and say hello…events calender 2012

We have now added a dedicated section to our website for our distributors world wide to access. This area contains calenders, adverts, promotions and information to support Clarks growing portfolio. Come take a look …

Clarks new EXO brake has been designed around the requirements of the mountain bike manufacturers. Basically, this means it’s a smaller, lighter version of its big brother SKELETAL. It’s 2/3 finger, compact radial style  lever configuration makes for a super stylish and dynamic brake. Been riding it in  the UK now for about a month and it is living up to all the expectations of the trail rider. It’s been a cold weekend but  after a few hours riding on  Cannock Chase  these brakes only are in need of some much needed cleaning. Roll on the Spring.

We really believe in our products at Clarks and constantly challenge their performance as well as my own that is! I rode the Monkey at Cannock Chase last week (http://chasetrails.co.uk/) using my set of Skeletal brakes which now have celebrated their first birthday on my Kona Dawg. They are performing really well and to be honest they have been ridden really hard and as my own performance and fitness has improved, it’s a really challenging course for those who havent ridden it yet, but  also a great place to meet up with mates, have blast on the bikes and then pop into Swinnertons (http://www.bikechase.co.uk/) where you can clean you bike and possibly yourself if you get as covered as I do. Don’t be expecting a luxury shower though, they are pressure washers to remove all the mud from your bike only!

We would love to see any pictures of your Clarks brakes on your bikes, send them in to us at info@clarkscyclesystems.com and we’ll publish them on the site!
