Chicago Cyclocross Cup Service Package

August 24, 2017

It’s almost Cyclocross Season, our favorite time of the year! The Chicago Cyclocross Cup has been getting bigger and bigger in the 10 years we have been racing and participating in it. For our first ‘Cross Cup season as a new shop, we are excited to announce the Tailwind Cycles ‘Cross Cup service package.

Here’s how it works:
Anytime between now and the first race of the season, Caldwell Woods on September 10th, sign up for the service package. For $250 per person, you get a full tune-up before the season starts. Then at each race in the Cross Cup series (11 races in total), you will have access to our support van. We can give your bike any last-minute adjustments and dial in your tire pressure before your race. At the end of the race day, you can leave your bike with us. We will transport it in our service van back to the shop in Albany Park where it will be washed and checked over by the end of the day Monday, so it will be ready for Tuesday practice. You will also receive a 15% discount on parts for your race bike and 20% off tubular gluing services through the end of our local cross season on December 3rd.  We will also be available for support at other cyclocross races in the region and possibly CX Nationals. We will be charging for those on a per-race basis.

We are limiting the number of spots for this package, so sign up today.

See you out there!
