What is the best tire for your ride?

Trying to decide on new tires for your mtb?

the narrow tire (1.8 – 2.1) would offer:
- lowest rolling resistance (good)
- easier acceleration and pedaling because of low spinning mass and small tread contact
- less floatation over rough and sandy terrain

the medium width tire (around 2.2 – 2.5) would offer:
- increased grip
- increased rolling resistance- average acceleration and pedaling because of increased spinning mass and increased tread contact

the wider tire (2.5 or wider) would offer:
- highest grip levels for their intended use
- highest rolling resistance, poor acceleration and high pedaling resistance for flat or uphill terrain because of high spinning mass and large tread contact area
- better downhill momentum because high tire mass works with gravity to create a flywheel effect

Not sure which one is best for you?  Stop in and ask the experts:  Dano, Donnie and TJ!

OMBA Work Day This Saturday 9/1!

Please join us for our next Trail Work Party!

It’s been talked about, planned, rumored, cussed and discussed ….. NOW it will happen!   Big Sandy’s days are numbered!!  Yes we will attack the infamous Big Sandy hill on the southern, Epic in-bound trail in Nayls. We will be building a killer wooden deck / bridge from the top of that bad boy to the bottom. It will still offer all of the challenge (in fact it will be a LOT faster!) and none of the sandy frustration of the past. Plus it will be a LOT more sustainable!! We will also do
a bit of needed trimming while we are out in that area.

We will meet in the parking lot of the 49th Ave Trailhead at 8 am.  Work until 12 noon, followed by lunch and swag provided by OMBA!

Fall race series starts with the 8 Hours of Labor!

Kick off the fall race series with the 8 Hours of San Felasco...
one week from today! 

Solo or team race! Register today www.goneriding.com

40 Things To Do This Summer... #28 Roll With It
"The scorching summer sun is no reason to stay off your bicycle. Avoid the hot pavement, and instead, go for a mountain bike ride. With trails that range from flat and manicured to those meant only for the toughest of the tough, there is a trail for everyone. For a list of different trails and their locations, visit the Ocala Mountain Bike Association at omba.org."

Thank you, OMBA!

When Willy Met Jenny... a love story

Willy, a Schwinn Classic downtown steel frame, went out looking for his female companion.  He preferred to find a bike with female touches... low step-through, elegant colors, and a sparkling personality.  He hoped that she would have a comfortable saddle for those long rides around town, and a nice rack to hold all of the goodies their owners would purchase.  Lastly, he wanted a full fender set for those rainy Florida afternoons.

As luck would have it... he found Jenny!  

The two are a match made in heaven.

Are you looking for your Willy or Jenny this Valentine's Day?  Look no further... we've got your love right here at 

Greenway Bicycles!
