Basecamp Suspension

Truly sad hearing that @trust_performance has ceased production 🙁 we had the pleasure of testing some of their “Moment” forks out for a month! Great piece of kit if very different from the norm 🤔 Incredible grip and they really did help hold the geometry of the bike 🤓 Genuine innovation does divide opinion which Trust forks definitely did...... We, for one, will miss them and we hope they make a comeback one day soon 😎 stay strong guys 🤘🏻 @basecampbikes #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride #trustperformance #seeyouontheflipside

Hope everyone is staying safe and holding it together and making the most of getting some daily exercise. Our available hours for this week are the same as last week Tues - Fri 10.30 until 16.00. Just a reminder access to shop is restricted, we would prefer wherever possible that you call ahead and make an appointment for service and repairs. Please note Key workers and NHS staff have priority. #staysafe #stayactive #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride

As mentioned this morning bike shops are permitted to remain open as bikes are seen as a form of transport for essential workers and also a healthy activity for mind and body to undertake once a day. Our current position is to make ourselves available 10.30 until 16.00 Tues to Fri. We will need Suspension service to be pre arranged appointments only. Access to the shop is restricted - just turning up at or travelling distance to the shop is heavily discouraged. Collection and delivery can be arranged as part of the service. Please contact us via email - service@basecampmtb.com - by message via facebook or instagram. We will keep you updated with any further developments @basecampbikes #staysafe #socialdistancing #abikerideadaykeepsthedemonsatbay #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride

So currently bike shops are being allowed to open. We are working on a plan to try and stay open to service our local community albeit in a limited capacity. We will confirm our position later today. @basecampbikes

So currently all we know is we will be in the shop tomorrow! We know how valuable cycling is for the mind and soul, especially at times like these..... We will endeavour to be in the shop to help you out 😎 It means limiting visitors to the shop - maybe even working by appointment or by courier only - keeping a safe distance and lots of cleaning. Nobody knows what will happen by the morning any more so we’ll play it by ear - be responsible and safe @basecampbikes #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride

We are in the lucky position to still be here - business as usual - we are being responsible and urge you to be so too. But where you can please support your local businesses - they need you at times like these - they are struggling. And support people any way you can in your community - please help where you can! Then ride bikes 😎 @basecampbikes #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride #supportyourlocalbusinesses #thenridebikes

Business as Usual for us! In these uncertain times we just want you to know we are here until we are told otherwise 😎 we operate a collection and delivery service so you don’t have to come to the shop 😬 We have numerous spare parts to keep you up and running as well as plenty of service space! We will do everything we can to stop the spread of this virus whilst keeping your bike running and you out on your bike 🤟🏻 Hit us up for any service or shop enquiries and we will get it sorted for you 🤠 @basecampbikes #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride #businessasusual #supportyourlocalshop

That’s the first winter Season of Suspension School all done and dusted 😎 We had 3 groups of awesome people through the door to learn what MTB Suspension is and how it all works and then get an individual set-up. And then get an afternoon of riding with @rideoutcoaching to check their set-up! It was a blast for all of us and it’s always great to help people out 😬 until next Winter .......... @basecampbikes #mtbsuspensionschool #onestopmtbshop #keepitlubedforabetterride @ BaseCamp Suspension

Get over to @pinkbike for a review of the new @bansheebikes Titan 😬 then give us a shout and come have a ride ok our demo bike 😎 not many of these beasties in the UK 🤟🏻 here’s what they said ........ Banshee's newest addition, the Titan, has a voracious appetite for rough trails and steep terrain.⁠ "The Titan is a friendly beast of a bike with an appetite for the steep and deep. It takes a little extra effort to get it up to speed, but once you're there the stability and capacity for smoothing out rough trails is very impressive."⁠ @basecampbikes #onestopmtbshop #bansheebikes #bansheetitan #bansheebikesuk #keepitlubedforabetterride

Thanks @yoannbarelli this hits home for us! Let’s do more......... In 2019 - In the world, 60% of bikes are imported from China and 27% are imported from Taiwan. - The production of bicycles is 2.5 higher than cars. - 364 000 bikes are produced daily that’s 132 860 000 bikes produced per year. - 577 941 containers full of bikes crosses the oceans every years.... - 47 670 bikes are being sold daily in the US, that’s 17 399 750 bikes per year, one bike every 2 seconds. - 1 /19 person in the world buys a new bike each year. - 15 million bikes gets discarded by owners every year and more than half of them end up in landfills. . And that’s not talking about separated bike parts, accessories, apparels, nutritions... . ............................ The bike industry is a big one, and WE make the bike industry. We love biking, from just commuting to go to work to pushing beyond our own limits, biking is good for the planet and it’s good for us. But despite all of that I truly think that’s its time for me, for us, to ask the bike industry to change their ways, to do everything they can to reduce their wastes, fancy packagings, and to try to find new ways to use recycled materials. I am not, we are not blaming you for anything, we are not blaming you to be located in China and all over Asia, we are not blaming you for something that gives us the opportunity to be outside, connect with nature, others and ourselves, none of that. We want to lead by exemple, we want to be proud of an industry that’s doing its best to protect the nature and environment as much as we love nature and the environment. . We will still buy your products if they are made with recycled materials, simply put and displayed in recycled and recyclable cardboard boxes, we don’t want plastics or other shit fuck. You’ve shown us how ingenious you are and how far we can go into technology and we are pumped on that. Now, how can we have the most badass and eco friendly bikes, equipments, parts, accessories, apparels, nutritions? That’s our new challenge!! Today we have a task, and it’s only all together that we can make a change, and our change can have a HUGE impact on this beautiful planet.
