Dave Byer's Favorite: Ergon Grips

Dave rides with Ergon Grips because "they save my hands during long training rides and races."

So what's so special about Ergon Grips?

• Numb fingers, aching hands and forearms - problems all too familiar to bikers. Caused by too much pressure on the highly sensitive areas of the inner palm and potential malpositioning of the hand. Ergon grips provide 100% contact of hand and grip by an anatomically optimised grip-shape. Thus the pressure is relieved, especially near the nervus ulnaris, preventing the hand from getting numb. Additionally overstraining of the median nerve (often resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome) as well as aching wrists are prevented.

Dave Bergart's Favorites

Bergie has several key items he can't ride without: 

• His Showers Pass rain jacket keeps him dry while commuting from Victor to Jackson and back for work during the summer.
• His Arione saddle is on each of his bikes.   
• His Clement tires keep him rolling.

Melissa Davidson's Favorites: Carborocket

Melissa can't get enough of: 

• Carborocket....and we can't get enough of it either.  But we have plenty of other nutrition options to help keep you fueled and hydrated on your epic rides.

Anna-Lisette Davis' Best Money Spent: A Bike Fit

Anna tells us the best money she's ever spent at Fitzgerald's was to have a bike fit for her road bike.  She told us that "all the adjustments were so subtle, but have made my bike way more comfortable, especially on long rides."

Check out our fit page here.  You can make an appointment with Jay, our bike fitter, by calling the shop at 208-787-2453.  When you schedule your fit, give yourself several hours for the appointment, bring your bike (if it is an existing bike fit), shoes and cycling shorts.  For new bike fits make sure you bring your pedals as well.   

Wes Hamilton: Scott Addict CX

Wes is hooked on cyclocross, so no wonder why his favorite bike is the Scott Addict CX.  He tells us after riding for 25 years he believes that Scott easily makes the best bikes on the planet.  Now we don't want to cause any marital discord (Wes says his wife gets a bit jealous of his bike), but you can shop all our Scott selection right here.

Jason Berning: Fresh Giro Gloves

Jason can't ride without a new pair of Giro Gloves.  Why Giro Gloves?

• Giro gloves have "Super Fit Engineering", a proprietary process that guides the fit, design and patterning of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance. By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit Engineering reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel and the effectiveness of the padding. And with as many as six sizes available per model, almost any rider can great pair of gloves to match their needs.

Shop here for your next pair of gloves.

Gabe Klamer's Favorites: Stan's No Tubes Wheels

Gabe claims that he can't or won't ride without his Fitzy Big Day socks.   But he also told us that his Stan's Wheels are pretty important too.  Why ride tubeless?

• lower rotational weight is faster
• no more pinch flats
• you can run lower pressure giving you a larger contact patch and better performance

Check out Stan's No Tubes wheels and accessories.

Dave Saurman: Scott Spark RC FS 29er

Dave says his Scott Spark RC 29er is by far the best bike he has ever ridden.  He even claims to sleep with his bike.  But seriously, a Spark RC 29er gives you a light weight racing machine built for endurance mountain biking.  You can check out all our Scott bikes here.
