2XU Women's Triathlon

2010-12-13T17:18:00.002+08:00

We're pleased to team up with the great crew at Tri-Events and announce that we're one of the major sponsors for the 2011 2XU Women's Triathlon. It's not until the 6th of March 2011 so that gives you heaps of time to train after the silly season has finished and get into shape for the race. We look forward to hearing from anybody that is interested in entering and hope to help with advice and excellent quality women's specific cycling equipment and apparel from Specialized (one of our co-sponsors).

2010 Model Road Bike Sale.

2010-11-26T16:03:00.004+08:00

As our 2011 model year stock starts rolling in, we need to make space by moving on the last of our 2010 stock. We currently have 3 road bikes from Focus and one from Specialized that have been heavily discounted. They're all brand new and represent great savings over the current model year bikes.

Focus Cayo Athena: Carbon fibre frame, Campagnolo Athena 11speed groupset, 3T cockpit. Was $4499 NOW $3599 size: Medium

Focus Cayo 105: Carbon fibre frame, Shimano 105 groupset. Was$3499 NOW $2499 size: Extra Large

Focus Variado: Aluminium frame, Shimano 105 groupset. Was $2099 NOW $1549 size: Large

Specialized Tarmac: Carbon Fibre frame, Shimano 105 groupset. Was $3499 NOW $2499 size: Large (56cm)

Yeti's Galore

2010-09-08T13:26:00.004+08:00

It's been a big week for our Yeti account this week with the first 2011 ASR 5 Alloy and ASR 5C coming through the store this week. However, the biggest commotion was caused by John's Big Top 29r. Having said that we still have a Large 2010 575 in Pewter that we need to find a home for. RRP is $5150 but we've knocked 10% off that.
Drop by the shop to see what all the fuss is about.

2011 Specialized starts now.

2010-08-23T17:51:00.003+08:00

Today marks the beginning of a new page in the Wembley Cycles Story. We took our first delivery of Performance bikes from Specialized Australia. Whilst JC and Dan are living it up at Specialized Oz HQ in Melbourne this week Langy and Dave are working hard in the shop building some awesome new machines. First cabs off the rank are the Allez Elite and Stumpy FSR Comp.

The Allez Elite is fantastic value at $1699 and the 58cm bike we have weighs in under 10kg. Not many bikes in this price range can boast that kind of weight!

The Stumpy Comp is one of our favourite bikes in this year's range. The silver and black paint job is pretty classy and the spec sheet reads pretty nicely also. This is the first look we've had at SRAM's X-9 10 speed drivetrain and I can tell you its the bomb!

More 2011 Specialized bike to come over the next few weeks.

2010 Focus Road Sale

2010-08-18T13:24:00.005+08:00

Time to find our 2010 Focus road bikes a home. So we are going to knock 10% off bikes we have in stock. We only have 2 Cayo's left a 54cm Campagnolo Athena and 58cm 105. Our last bike is a 56cm Variado Expert (105 spec). Give the store a call or drop in for a look and a fitting.

2010 Raven Expert in store

2010-08-10T20:41:00.004+08:00

No bones about it, hardtails are back and as far as carbon hardtails go it doesn't get much sexier than the Focus Raven. This Shimano XT spec'd Raven Expert is only $4999.00 and is possibly the stiffest carbon frame you will ever ride.

The attention to detail is amazing, the oversized head tube and BB30 bottom bracket ar cool but the internal gear AND brake housing is truly trick!!

If you're lucky you might see our powerhouse staff member (Langy) smashing out the kilometers as he trains up for the Dwellingup 100 in September. Otherwise you can see it in store now.

Yeti 575 Sale

2010-07-14T11:56:00.005+08:00

Great news from Yeti. The 2010 Yeti 575 is now on sale. Save some money and join the Tribe. Lots of choices when it comes to the 575. Frame colour? Black, Team, White or Pewter. Shock? Choose from the Fox RP23 or DHX Air. You can also choose an alloy OR carbon fibre rear end. Call or drop by the shop for more details.

Finally, 29r Tubeless Tyres

2010-05-26T14:10:00.003+08:00

I was starting to wonder if I'd ever find Tubeless Specific Tyres for my new Niner MCR9. Then as I was doing some research on the specialized range of bikes I realized they had a lot of high end 29rs. So I got in touch with the distributor and they hooked me up with these Fast Trak 29x2.0 2Bliss tyres.

I'm going to try them out at the Wembley Cycles 6 hour this Sunday to see how they go. If you'd like a set they are a poultry $50.00 each. Much cheaper than most 26" tubeless ready tyres.

Bike of the Week: GT Zaskar Carbon Team XX

2010-05-18T14:38:00.002+08:00

This week we took delivery of the awesome GT Zaskar Carbon Team XX. Weighs in at just 9.1kg for a large frame!! Race ready, don't need to change a thing.

And the best part, its on sale. Normal price is $6999. We've got it for $4999!
This is a full carbon frame, full SRAM XX build kit including Rock Shox SID XX and Mavic Crossmax SLR Wheelset. We have a Large frame in stock but other frame sizes are available.

Yeti 5 Alloy has landed!

2010-04-23T17:41:00.002+08:00

Wembley Cycles is proud to announce that the new Yeti ASR5 Alloy is finally in stock and looks absolutely fantastic. We have the bike built up in the black with a ride build kit including SRAM X9 and Fox RLC120 tapered fork. At only $5,340 the bike is one of the best value for money trail bikes out there and has the added appeal of being part of the Yeti stable!. Yeti have developed this bike to take the place of the 4 inch version and it is a beautiful ride!

The ASR 5C has arrived. The full carbon frame tipped the scales at 2.28kg for a Medium. Completed Pro build kit (with 15mm thru axle front and the new 12mm thru axle rear) came in at 11.2kg!! Bike is super stiff and fast. Drop by the shop for a look.

Em's Power Cookies

2010-01-18T17:28:00.004+08:00

We are now stockists of Em's Power Cookies. These cookies and bars are an awesome snack for when you're out on the bike on a big ride. Check their website for all the nutrition details, all I know is that they taste really, really good. Hell, you'll find yourself digging into your stash when you're hungry at home and the bike is sitting in the shed. Also, they aren't heavy or chewy like traditional energy bars and the like. We've currently got the 'Oat Explosion' bar in the shop. We've tried the Peanut bar and the Cookie and they're all good. If you ask nicely, we'll get some into stock ASAP.

Team Rider Reece Tucknott Under 15 National XC Champ

2010-01-15T11:00:00.003+08:00

This morning at Eagle Park in Adelaide SA, Wembley Cycles team rider Reece Tucknott took out the Under 15's National XC Championship.

In what proved to be a close race, Reece was able to out fox his rivals to win by around 25 seconds.

Here's a pic of WA's latest and Wembley Cycle's first National Champion on the podium!

New Wembley Cycles cycling kit

2010-01-12T15:54:00.003+08:00

From Blogger Pictures

We are super excited about our brand new cycling kit that turned up before Christmas. We have jerseys and a few pairs of bib-knicks in store. The clothing is all made in Australia by Triple Play clothing and it looks and feels great. Our friends at Mooba, The Wembley Hotel and Survey Results have been a great help to us over the last few years and we feel proud to represent them when we're riding and racing.

January Going Strong

2010-01-11T17:23:00.003+08:00

Christmas is over and after a few well earned days off we are back at it full steam ahead. We are expecting our first 2010 Yeti's any day now with Dave's ASR 5C due first up! Needless to say he's been jonesin' for this one for a few months and can't wait to get on board. We have plenty of stock of Giant and Specialized bikes for adults and kids in store and ready to go.

We are also continuing our regular Wednesday night MTB rides from The Dell after a brief break for the holidays. We will be there from 7pm for a 1.5 - 2 hour ride on some of WA's best single track. All skill levels are welcome, all you need is your bike, helmet (of course) and a set of lights.

The staff of Wembley Cycles hopes everyone had a great Christmas and New Year and we look forward to seeing you out on the trails or on the road in 2010!

Christmas Update

2009-12-17T13:55:00.003+08:00

Well, the countdown to Christmas is well and truly moving quickly. We're trading all the way up to 7pm Christmas Eve and hopefully Santa will remember to swing by and pick up all his lay-bys.

We have a lot of bikes to build (and store) between now and Christmas, so the workshop is fully booked until the New Year. If you need any small jobs done please ring to check if we have time to do any repairs.

Single Speed Sale

2009-12-10T14:18:00.004+08:00

For the rest of 2009 we are having a sale on all of our single speed bikes. We are taking 15% off all of our single speed adult bikes in stock. That includes all of the Charge Plugs, Grinders and Cruisers.

Garmin Edge 705

2009-12-04T16:01:00.004+08:00

Wembley Cycles is now an authorised dealer for Garmin GPS hardware. Specifically, the Garmin Edge 705. Packed with features, it is a brilliant little GPS unit that lets you know just about everything you need to know about what and how you are riding. Not only does it let you map your rides, but it can also measure your heart rate, cadence and even power! The Edge 705 is a fantastic training tool for all kinds of cyclists and best of all, we have them in stock right now. They make an excellent Christmas present for the cyclist who thinks they have everything. We'll have reviews soon enough as 3 staff members have purchased them and are putting them through their paces on the road and in the dirt.

Dusk Till Dawn 12 Hour Race.

2009-12-04T15:36:00.002+08:00

The 2009 Alcoa Dusk till Dawn 12hour MTB Challenge was run and done this past weekend. Wembley Cycles had two teams running and several more of our regular customers also organised teams. It was a brilliantly run event and throughout the night and into the morning there was many happy mountain bikers out on course. The Wembley Cycles Average Joes (John Carney, Steve Courtice and Dan O'Kane) came second in the three man category, right behind the overall winners, the Trailblazers. In the overall standings the Average Joes came third after a four man team managed to sneak in an extra half lap over us, oh to have fresh legs like those guys did! Still, as the best placed corporate team, the Average Joes took home the inaugural Avanti Corporate Challenge Trophy.

As summer heats up it is an awesome time to do some night riding after work. We're in the process of creating a regular Wednesday night ride out at Mt Gungin. Give the shop a call if you're interested in coming along.

Specialized Test Fleet in store now.

2009-12-04T15:27:00.004+08:00

We recently received our demo bikes from Specialized. We have a medium size Stumpjumper FSR and a large size Enduro FSR. All the mountain bikers on staff have test ridden the bikes and experimented with the particulars of the FSR suspension set-up, so, when you arrange a demo ride we'll be able to set you up pretty quickly and get you onto the trails.

Don't forget that we also have a medium size Yeti 575 available for test rides.

Call the shop on 9387 3708 to book your test ride. You must present to staff a valid West Australian drivers license and credit card in order to borrow a test bike.

Retro Yeti

2009-11-16T12:24:00.001+08:00

This is one expensive Yeti. Maybe the 2010 model you buy today will be worth this much someday.

2009-10-30T11:23:00.003+08:00

We've got a few sets of the top of the range bib knicks from both Louis Garneau and Pearl Izumi in store right now. They're expensive, but oh so worth it. They breath better, they transfer moisture better, they feel better and they fit better than what you're currently riding around in. Come down and try some on today.

Specialized.

2009-10-28T12:44:00.002+08:00

Wembley Cycles Trail Taste!

2009-03-20T09:43:00.005+09:00

Sample the joys of mountainbiking with the Wembley Cycles Trail Taste!
The Trail Taste is our demo program and we kick things off with the 2009 Giant Anthem X1.

The Anthem X1 combines the best features of light weight race bikes and sturdy trail bikes. The 100m travel Fox forks are stiffer than most of its rivals. Match that with the square shaped down tube added to the 2009 Anthem's frame and you have one of the stiffest and most precise steering bikes on the market. The Shimano XT Drivetrain doesn't miss a beat and the X1's tubeless ready Mavic XM819 wheels are a rare inclusion on a bike valued at less than $4K. The Anthem X1 weighs in at 11.88kg for a medium frame.

If you'd like to try before you buy then drop in with your Drivers License and Credit card and you can take the Anthem (Medium frame size) out for a real taste of the trail.
