This Saturday in the maintenance class we will be discussing on ride repairs. How to do basic repairs while out and about that will get you home as well as tricks and tips in really bad situations when all you need to do is get home or back to the trail head. Class will begin at 9:00a.m. and run until around 10:00a.m. or whenever we finish if its earlier.

The 10:00a.m. spin class is full however there are still seven spots available in the 11:00a.m. class.

Just a note on our repair situation.  We are still on special but starting to see more and more bikes through the door because that special ends the 29th.  At this moment we have a three day wait but I expect that increases rapidly as the season gets started.  As always thanks, and we are looking forward to a great riding year here at Skyline.

The specials on tune-ups at $35.00 and overhauls at $75.00 will end February 29th, tunes will then cost $45.00 and overhauls will return to $115.00.  At this time we are no more than a couple of days out on labor. So if you or anyone you know needs repair work done now is the time because we will get backed up starting around the first of April or so give or take a week just depending on what mother nature decides to do.

This Saturdays maintenance class will focus on front and rear derailleur theory and adjustment. The class will begin at 9:00a.m. and will go until 10:00a.m..  We will talk about how derailleurs work and how to maintain them.

The 10:00a.m. spin class is full, but the 11:00a.m. class still has three spots open.  Classes are $5.00 a session, call for a reservation, 801-394-7700

Just a heads up, we will begin ordering new clothing for the floor in about a week but to make room for the new stuff we are clearing out the inventory we have on hand.  All summer clothing in the store, so shorts and jerseys will be 40% off of the marked retail.  We are also starting to clear out our winter stock and will have all arm warmers, tights, jackets on sale at 25% off marked retail. Also all Remaining Lake shoes will be 40% off of their marked retail.

The 10:00a.m. spin class has now filled but there are still six spots open for the 11:00a.m. spin class.  Call and 801-394-7700 if you would like to reserve a spot or send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

As always thanks for a great Saturday, the maintenance class was great, and spin class turned out was awesome.  Thanks for the support and we will continue next weekend with both.  Maintenance class will once again be at 9:00a.m. and this time we will be talking about rebuilding hubs, bottom brackets, headsets which in general will give a good idea of how to approach bearing systems in general.

Spin class rocked and at this point the 10:00a.m. class two openings left, the 11:00a.m. is wide open.  For reservations call 801-394-7700.

The 10:00a.m. spin class has filled but we still have five spots for the 11:15a.m. class and no that if this is your first time, no worries we will still be able to get you started on a training schedule. If its your first time plan on doing a fit test to get heart rate and wattage set. If you want to do a heart rate bring your own monitor. We will take reservations for the 11:15a.m. class until 6:00p.m. this evening.

The 10:00a.m. spin class still has three spots open. The 11:15a.m. class has five spots available.  We will take reservations through 6:00p.m. tonight.  If you would like a spot call 801-394-7700.

This Saturdays class is all about the wheel. How it works, theory on the basic mechanics of spokes, hubs, lacing patterns and with the last half hour of the class we will be truing a wheel and discussing the techniques used in different situations and why they are employed differently. Class will begin at 9:00a.m. and will end at 10:00a.m..  Also spin class is at 10:00a.m. and again at 11:15a.m. The 10:00a.m. class as of Wednesday has five spots open and the 11:15a.m. class has six spots open.  Call ahead for a spot, 801-394-7700.

For this session we will be returning to basic maintenance.  We will discuss the proper ways to clean, lubricate, and maintain a bicycle.  Also the tools and the procedures we use on a daily basis.  We will also discuss the proper way to remove a tire, check a tube for a hole, patch a tube and then the correct installation process to get the tube back in the tire and on the rim. As always questions can be directed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or give a call to 801-394-7700.

For spin classes we also have 3 spots open the the 10:00a.m. session, and five spots open for the 11:00a.m. session.  Call to reserve a spot..

For tomorrow the 10:00a.m. spin class has one opening, the 11:00a.m.class has for spots left.  If you are interested send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and I will check the e-mail for the last time around 10:00p.m and make adjustments.  This will be the cut off.  Bike class tomorrow will focus on disk brakes, adjustment, install, and bleeding of a hydraulic brake. We will start the bike maintenance class at 9:00a.m. sharp, come through the side doors on the north towards the back of the building.

So the new discount code for the Skyline Cycle's online store is (pineapple), one of our favorite fruits.  This code is for 20% off any item in our catalog.  So think warm weather, clean your bike and if you get really into it have a slice of pineapple.  It will be riding season before you now it.  As always thanks for picking us as your store.

Just dropping a quick note to let everyone know that we are going to run the tune up special through the 29th of February. After the 29th we will return to our regular tune price if not increasing the price a little.  So if you or anyone you know needs a tune come and get it done sooner rather than later because in addition to being $35.00 dollars right now there is virtually no waiting, at most we are no more than a two days turn around compared to three to four day wait in the spring.

For the spin class this Saturday, 01/14/12, we have had two spots open up for the 10:00a.m. class because of cancellations, and there are still four spots open for the 11:15a.m. class.  At this point you will have to call and and confirm your spot with one of the staff.  Call 801-394-7700.

So the first spin class has filled for the 14th, because we have never been good about turning people away I checked with Butch and he added a second class at 11:15a.m. on Saturday to make sure that everyone that wanted to come had a chance.  As always call ahead and make sure to reserve your spot early in the week.  The 10:00a.m. class filled over a week before it was offered.

We're back in the store and glad to be back.  Its been busy with the weather being so nice.  We will also be here for regular business hours on Martin Luther King Day, much respect of course but we have bikes to fix and sell.  Glad to see everyone coming through the store.

Guys we're technically out of the store until the 9th of January but the online store is still up and shipping.  If you really need a part while we are out got to online tab of the home page and place your order, we will then put it a box and ship it to you.  Note though that only stuff on the online web store is available.  I will also check e-mail once a day in the morning around 10:00a.m. this is when I will ship all orders for the day and also respond to e-mail questions.  I will  have a January calendar in place before the end of December.  Hope all is well, enjoy the holidays.
