Shipping

How much is shipping?

Shipping is automatically calculated prior to submitting your payment information.  Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the Checkout page where you will be offered Shipping Method choices and their prices.

When will my item ship?

Most orders will go out the same day they are received (if received during normal business hours). On rare occasion we are unable to process orders the same day they are received. In these circumstances your order will be shipped no later than 5 business days after your order is received.  

How do I buy/redeem gift certificates?

To purchase gift cards simply click on the gift cards tab at the top of the page. There you can select from a $10, $25, $50, or $100 gift card.

*Note that the gift cards are in Canadian dollars so if you pick a $10 gift card and are in a different currency the price won't match.

Once you have purchased and paid for your gift card it will be e-mailed to you with instructions on how to redeem it. If it's a gift for someone else just forward them the e-mail.

To redeem a gift card simply click on the link that was e-mailed to you and a code will pop up. Just copy the gift card code and paste it into the "gift card or discount code" section of the checkout and hit "apply". Your gift card amount will then be taken off your total. If you have money remaining on the gift card just enter the code again next time you make a purchase. 

Technical & Miscellaneous Questions
How do I know if my spindles are titanium?
One quick way is if you have Defacto pedals they are definitely Chromoly as they were only made with chromo spindles.

If you have AMP pedals you can take a magnet and hold it to the spindle. If the spindle is magnetic it is a chromoly spindle. If the spindle is not magnetic it is a titanium spindle.

My pedals squeak, what can I do to fix it?

Squeaks and creaks can be tricky to diagnose. Sometimes it may sound like it’s coming from your pedals when it’s really coming from your cranks or bottom bracket. It’s really just a process of elimination! Start off by taking apart your pedals, thoroughly cleaning them, re-grease them and re-assemble. If you notice anything is wore out, get a pedal bushing re-build kit and re-build the pedals. If you are unsure of how to re-assemble your pedals, watch the following link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=EggUSXkxaVI

 Do I have to do pedal maintenance?

Yes, regular pedal maintenance is essential in ensuring proper performance over the life of your pedals. You can purchase pedal bushing re-build kits directly through our webstore, through your local bike shop or one of the distributors on our website.

 Do you still sell brake levers?

Unfortunately due to constant changes by brake manufacturers we have decided to discontinue our brake lever line.
