Elmy Cycles has gone tubeless!

We have just received our first shipment of the world renowned Stan's Tubeless Kits, a revolutionary system which allows you to actually run your mountain and hybrid tyres with no inner tubes. This means no more pinch punctures, self sealing tyres, more traction and lower offroad rolling resistance! We can also fit these tubeless systems to your bike and answer most queries too - just ask Mike, he's been running tubeless for the last year...

Cycling Legend Hugh Porter MBE to officially open the new shop

Cycling legend Hugh Porter MBE has confirmed today that he will be officially opening our new shop. The 'Voice of Cycling' is known to many today for his fantastic commentary of all of the top cycling events on television today, from the World Championships to his fantastic soundtrack for the GB successes at Bejing. As soon as you hear his voice you will suddenly realise just how many times you have enjoyed listening to his words. Not just a voice, Hugh is a cycling legend in his own right, winning both Olympic and World Championship accolades. Hugh Porter has raced all over the world and has some wonderful stories to tell. Hugh will be joining us with his wife, former Olympic Swimming champion Anita Lonsborough, at 11am on Easter Saturday for the official Opening Ceremony. Please feel free to come and join us and say hello.

Elmy Cycles is Moving...
New shop opens 11am Easter Saturday - 11th April 2009

You may have heard the rumours, and yes, they are true!
After 87 years of trading at 62-64 St Helens St and 5 years after establishing the Performance Centre at 55 St Helens St, Elmy Cycles is moving house!

Don't worry though, we're not going far. We're only moving just 5 doors down the road to 86 St Helens St.
It's a hectic time for us right now with all of the normal moving house things going on such as sorting out all of the utilities, getting phone lines swapped over and working out where things need to go and when.
Oh and not to mention a complete refurb and shop fit of our new premises! Please bear with us over the next couple of weeks whilst we get things sorted, but rest assured we are doing everything we can to offer you as close to normal service as possible during the move.

So ... what's coming? Well we think you're going to be impressed! The new shop is a bit special, 2 floors as well as being twice the size of our existing 2 shops. On the ground floor you can look forward to seeing an even bigger range of bikes all beautifully displayed in our refurbished Cycle Showrooms with loads of Spares & Accessories on display. We also have a massive workshop area where we can handle all of your repairs and servicing requirements. The first floor is where it gets a bit exciting, here you can look forward to seeing our new Performance Showroom with it's fantastic range of top end bikes and a full range of cycling clothing on display and even a proper changing room!
Also, come and join us for a coffee and relax in our Coffee Shop with a great selection of hot drinks and comfy chairs to chill out in, or watch the latest cycling DVDs on the big screen TV.... Oh, we don't stop there! Also on the first floor we have the all new Fitting Room, for a professional range of bike fitting and fitness services. Come and see us for a Full Fitness Assessment on our set of Real Axiom Fitness machines, a full body fat analysis, training session or Conconi test. We will be offering a full compliment of Bike Fitting Services from Video Position Analysis, cleat positioning, Tri Bar Optimisation, Comfort and Performance set ups.
We can also offer a full custom Heat Mouldable Footwear service. In the Fit room we have teamed up with professional Sports Massage Therapists so you can come down for a full Massage and Injury Treatment in a pleasant and airy environment. We have full changing and showering facilities available too.
More? OK, how about full facilities to host Club Meetings, AGMs, Specialist Training evenings, and at last a great Teaching Room for our great free Cycle Mechanics Courses which will be starting again once we are in the new shop.
I haven't mentioned outside yet have I? How about Secure Cycle Parking where you can leave your bike whilst you head into town or pop by after a ride. Still not finished yet, how about this...... at long last a Car Park! It's not huge but we now have parking available for six cars in our own private car park just off Dove Street.
So there we go! How does that all sound? I hope you will look forward to it as much as we are and that you will come and join us in the new shop soon.

Regards, Steve Grimwood - Proprietor
