Teva Links All Mountain Shoe-Nice to look at and fun to ride in

Looking for the right Mountain Bike Shoe's can be as frustating as looking for meaning in the show Jersey Shore. There are so many choice's out there even Carrie Bradshaw would be overwhelmed.
Most people after purchasing a bike for the first time in a long time, are already overwhelmed by the bike itself, and then when they get confronted with question of wanting Shoes they sometimes get a little glazed over. In the 8 years that I have worn mountain bike shoes I have gone through every different kind, from the super soft beginner shoe to the super stiff Cross Country Race Shoe, and each pair worked like they were supposed too...:)

A few months ago the Teva Shoe Rep came into my previous employers shop and asked me what shoes sell best at that store, I told him that the store catered more the Road Cyclist. But named some other local shops where there shoes would sell well. The rep was very informative and asked me if I wanted to demo a pair of there new All Mountain Cycling Shoe, I without hesitation said yes. The shoes arrived a couple of weeks later and I began testing them out, trying them on my mountain bike, my street bike and my dirt jumper. The colors on the shoes are so loud I thought I needed bubble pants to go with them. But the shoes overall were awesome, the Spider365 Rubber Sole Compound is super sticky no matter what bike you are on these shoes stick to the pedals like glue, and although they feel a little bulky on me they are comfortable and can be worn anywhere...:)

Pricepoint wise there not to bad either, they retail for $110.00, which is a pretty good price for a All Mountain shoe.

Con's they are not compatiable with Clips, but if you are someone who is a Downhill Rider, Freerider, Urban Rider, or just want a pair of shoes that are not clip in shoes but really stick to the pedal, these shoes are perfect.

Optrix HD i-Phone Camera Mount. Good idea, poor design...


A few months ago a sales rep from this company called Optrix came into the store wanting to talk to our buyer about selling his product, which looked like some sort of mount for your i-Pod or i-Phone. When he pulled the item out of the box I got pretty excited about it, I have been wanting to buy a GoPro Helmet Camera for a while now but it's a little out of my price point. I do own an i-Phone and have wanted to shot video footage with it. I thought this mount might be the solution. I asked the rep if he had a sample mount that I could try. He said not with him but he could bring me one another time. Three weeks later he came back in the store and brought me a sample to try. I was super stoked, until I started trying to use it. the mounting hardware on the case falls out very easily, when you finally are able to mount it on your helmet it is extreme heavy and weighs you down, and the putting the phone into the case is know easy task. The idea is really cool and the unit only cost $89.99 and is pretty much unbreakable. But the hardware to assemble it is a pain in the ass, and you can only attach it to certain parts of the bike. Definitely a good idea they just need to work out the kinks...:)

Teva Links All Mountain Shoes...

Some of the guys from Teva came into the shop the other day, and said that they are doing a Line of Mountain Bike Shoes. They asked me if I thought they would sell well at the store? I said they probably wouldn't do to well at this store, but might do well at one of our other stores...:)

The head Sales Rep for Teva Said he would hook me up with a pair of shoes to try. The Teva Link's All Mountain Riding Shoe, so stoked...:)
