Toronto Cycles Titanium Pedal Accessories

Toronto Cycles now has a new selection of titanium spindles and pedal accessories in stock. These are all available in anodized titanium colors. We have spindles for Wellgo, Shimano, Crank Brothers, Speedplay, Time and Exustar. Those hard to find bolts with the torx sockets are here and the left hand threaded nuts too!

Our Mayor Rob Ford is also out of rehab and back in action. We have our mayoral elections coming up in October. I thought I would mention this because some customers have been asking about Robbie. Funny he still makes the news.

Anodized Titanium Spokes

Toronto Cycles has Titanium Spokes!

    All our titanium spokes are single butted (Totally straight shaft) and are 2.0mm. These are cut and threaded to accept a 14g nipple (Standard). We can also sell the rod section with threads on both ends for the same price as the spoke. Once the cut is made that size is non-refundable unless you want shorter. The titanium spokes are a maximum of 320mm and 40mm is the shortest. 

    We also have Phil Wood Spokes.

Titanium spokes are here and just waiting on our Phil Wood spoke machine. Anodizing looks nice and we will update on that shortly. Will have an update on that and will be doing wheel builds soon.

We will have a few new updates coming up in the next couple weeks. These will be good!

Aluminum Anodizing Dyes

Toronto Cycles is now offering Aluminum Anodizing Gear.

    We have a full selection of high quality U.S. Specialty dyes. These dyes have been great and are all we use now. In the past we had issues with some runs of anodizing but have seen a drastic improvement in quality and color depth using these dyes, also experience pays off. The nickel sealant is great and also saves quite a bit of energy by reducing heat and time for a full seal. The derailleur to the right is pink dye and Black BK Super.

  Titanium Wire and Anodes are now for sale. Titanium is a great anode, it will last a very long time (Mine has been 6 years now). In a month or so we will be offering anodizing clips and racks. Attaching the parts can be a problem and racking clips is a great solution. Don't forget to check our website for anodizing tips and future products!

Toronto Cycles Update!

Toronto Cycles has been serving the Cycling community of Toronto for a bit over 10 years now. There will be a few changes coming up and will be posting over the coming months. Shipping prices might need to change, we will be going into production with an affiliate company (To be announced), The Toronto store will be changed and renovated, Anodizing services are being refined and increased, Some items will be posted with Amazon, Most importantly we will be not carrying some product lines moving forward so we can produce in-house more.
    I'll keep posting updates and wanted to thanks all of you that have been with us over the years!

USA Distributor Wanted!

    We are looking for a USA trading partner / distributor. International too!
There are a few base requirements and would be more into a mutual business deal with an existing business that offers product lines. Please feel free to contact me on this if in the USA but please let me know some information first (Please via email and not as anonymous comment):

1. Any online sales you currently preform and/or active eBay accounts or websites.
2. Product lines you currently carry.
3. Existing business operations and experience, particularly website and shipping.
4. Financial situation for investing and purchase.
5. Location

    I'm looking mostly for a business that sells alternate products than what I currently carry and has stock on hand for sale and trade. Good communication, customer service, common sense and work ethic are requirements. Able to assist in cross border trade and help me with some packages from the USA on occasion. 
    I cannot do drop shipping and items must be purchased directly or trade.

Aest Superlight Magnesium Pedals / Titanium Axles

Toronto Cycles has a full selection of AEST platform pedals in a wide variety of colors. These have been well reviewed on many forums and seems to be quite favorable.

    The body on the unit to the right and are magnesium these have 3 sealed ball bearings and spin effortlessly. There's an O-ring on the inside to help prevent road dirt from entering the bearing. Aluminum lock nut and black anodized end cap. Dis-assembly is very easy and only takes a few minutes. As you can see on the scale these weight 78 grams each. 

Here's another popular pedal. This is the BiG pedal and has the largest platform that AEST makes. The version on the left has Gold Titanium axle available only at Toronto Cycles

We also offer axles in titanium anodizing and have all replacement parts on hand. At this time we do not have the steel axle units but should get some axles in the future. AEST has really been making some nice stuff lately. The pricings are great and it's hard to beat this quality for the cost. We will post a review on the 2014 hubs and also do a few wheel builds when the titanium spokes are finished.

Anodized Titanium Spokes

We were considering titanium spokes.

    For me to do these it would be a few months away and I would have to do some testing first and a few wheel builds. They would also be in anodized colors, black titanium and rainbow colors. The weight should be about 3 grams each (Depending on length) and would save half the weight over steel. I've never used ti spokes and have heard they work fine but give a bit more spongy feel to the ride.

 I was looking for some comments on this and any ideas for new items you might have.

Do any of you feel there is a need or desire for these? 

Have you ever owned ti spokes?

Thanks for any suggestions on this venture. There really isn't much information on there and want to feel the market first.
