2022 Tailwind CCC Cyclocross Package

August 26, 2022

Let us take care of your muddy bike!

Cross is here! For 2022, we have the official return of the Chicago Cyclocross Cup, and we’re back with our cyclocross support package. We’re going to keep most everything the same as in past years. You will bring your bike into the shop before the official start of the series on October 2nd for a full tune up to get your bike in top racing shape for the start of the season. Then, you will get one bike wash and lube/ race tune in between every race in the series. You have the option of having your bike transported to or from each race in the series. You also have access to mechanical support at the Tailwind tent on race day for any last minute adjustments or mechanical needs before your race. If you are racing in the higher categories and have a pit bike, we can even pit for you during your race.

 

The Tailwind Cyclocross Package will be $270.00 for 2022. That price is based on the seven race schedule posted on the CCC website as of August. Same as last year, if one of the races happens to get cancelled, we will issue a shop credit for a bike wash and lube Also, as in the past we will give our customers the option to pay for the package in two installments, the first half to be paid when we tune up your bike, and then the balance due by the first race on October 2nd. Once again, anyone who signs up for the cross package will get 15% off parts for their race bike and 20% off tubular gluing services.

It will be great to see everyone out at the races this fall!

Here it is all built up! A custom repainted @santacruzbicycles Stigmate for @thebonebell. The  @mphpaint finish on this bike is stunning! We tried to catch as many of the cool details as possible in the photos, but if you are local and have the chance, try to get a good look at this bike in person. We put the original @sramroad and @zippspeed components back on the bike after the repaint. 

We're especially stoked on how the paint design on this bike is a love letter to the owner's Guatemalan heritage. The N14 logo on the seat tube references the district in the country the bike's owner is from. Coincidentally, the capital of that district is Santa Cruz del Quiche' , which works perfectly with the branding of the bike, named after Santa Cruz Bicycles' home of Santa Cruz, Ca.  The Quetzalcoatl artwork on the top tube pays homage to the Mayan god of the sun.

Happy Holidays everyone! Here are our updated hours for this week: 
Thur, 12-22 open till 7pm
Friday, 12-23 probably closed, pending the weather
Saturday 12-24 closed
Sunday 12-25 closed

The forecast looks pretty nasty for Friday, so there is a good chance the shop will be closed. If you have any last- minute needs before Christmas, be sure to make it to the shop before 7:00 on Thursday. Otherwise, we'll see you next week!
