		<title>Truvativ Hammerschmidt compatibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


 We can now offer Hammerschmidt compatibility on new orders for certain Nicolai frames.  This requires an ISCG mount on a 73mm bottom bracket shell (get your dealer to order &#8220;ISCG-Hammerschmidt&#8221;) and the upcharge, where applicable, is the same as for normal ISCG.
If you want to run a front mech you&#8217;re better off with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deep Insertion Headsets</title>

		<title>Looking after your bearings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Its summer.  You have owned your bike for a while in all likelihood.  It saw use over winter.  There is slight play in the bearings?
Please remember that our bearings and bushings are adjustable.  Grub screw on one side, and a bolt on the other.  By undoing the grub screw you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helius AM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

(Updated)
Another addition to the Helius range.  Riders had been demanding Rock Shox Totem compatibility for the Helius FR which we was previously only warranted for 170mm forks.  This required beefing up the frame and a bit of weight gain (now ±4.4Kg with coil shock) and left us without a hardcore &#8220;All Mountain&#8221; frame. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gates Carbon Drive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

(Updated)
Whilst there have been belt drives for bicycles before the performance has always been poor with the feel at the pedal being rather like stepping on a soft mat.  The Gates belts are different with an rock solid feel and three times the life of a conventional chain.  They’re also clean and quiet [...]]]></description>
