  3. Get your recommendations from Jakroo
  4. Order your items

If you have any issues at all during this process just give us a call at the shop and we will be glad to help. You can also come into the shop and submit orders on our computer as well.

** Guaranteed Fit – Jakroo offers a nice replacement program. If you complete and submit your measurements through their guaranteed fit program, they will replace your kit for free if the size they recommend ends up not being correct. Not a bad deal at all but you must submit your measurements. We recommend you do this! It takes about 48 hours to get your recommendations so factor in that time.

Submit your measurements to Jakroo by using the following form:

Submit Your Measurements

On this form you will also need to check the items for which you are requesting the guaranteed fit service (note that this form will have all items Jakroo offers but you only need to check for the ones you will order and for which you want a guaranteed fit). That can be any of the items in the bullet list above. Just click those links to see the product details. Note, pricing is much better than what you see advertised on their website.

** Fit Kit – Update – Fit Kit has been returned and no longer in the shop. For those wanting to physically put your hands on the kits, we have a fit kit with some select sizes here in the shop for only a few more days or so. Just stop by to check them out.

** Ordering – Submit your measurements to Jakroo, get your recommended fits and the order here.

Go with a 1X System and Ditch Your Front Derailleur

If you have been in the shop lately and happened to hear or been a part of a discussion with me on SRAM’s revolutionary idea of a single chain ring drive train, you likely got more than an earful.  It’s exciting, simple, and very cost effective and I tend to get really worked up about the benefits and features that a lack of front derailleur has.  I am admittedly a SRAM guy, and preface my passionate discussion of all things SRAM by making that clear before going off the rails about how much I love the 1X (pronounced “One-By”) system.  That being said, the idea of ditching your front derailleur is brilliant for just about everyone.  No really, unless you’re a hardcore bike racer, it’s a darn near perfect system and it has an amazing amount of upside to it.  The 1X arrangement has been a mainstay in the mountain bike world for several years now and has revolutionized mountain bike drive systems.  It’s a very hot topic right now in the cycling world, and more cyclists, triathletes, and occasional riders are making the switch.  Should you make the switch?  Read on and lets discuss the idea from a practical, mathematical, and cost standpoint.
