These days it’s really hard to find certain bike components\/goods. I am sure that you guys have been experiencing that in first hand.\u00a0 We are also having tons of difficulties for not being able to get enough stocks for bike parts to meet the great demand for our customer builds and such.<\/p>\n

With that being said, we are still getting new stuff in from all kinds of manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Today I wanted show you guys some interesting cages we got recently. Spoilers, they’re old…but new.
\n\"\"
\nThe Velocage<\/a> from Velocity.
\nOur mechanic, “Digital” has been talking about these cages since we got the plastic bottle cages from them<\/a>.
\n\"\"
\nVelocity is known for their amazing American made rims. But here’s a fun fact, their first products were bottle cages. And this Velocage is one of their old stocks, made in Australia.
\nI gotta tell ya, these bottle cages are interesting.
\n\"\"
\nSo, these weird attachments come with the cage.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nApply the attachments like a sandwich.
\n\"\"
\nThen, install the bottle cage like you normally would…
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nHmm…Notice the difference?
\n\"\"
\nThis thing slides! …In a very questionable range.<\/p>\n

I guess you can adjust the height of the cage for smaller frames and for making room for frame bags…?
\nTo be very honest,I don’t exactly know. But I love it.
\nAnd the color variations are pretty damn neat.
\n\"\"
\nI would also like to point out how cool the packages are.
\n\"\"
\n\"\"
\nThese packages are all different and very random. So I think it would be fun to see which one you get.<\/p>\n

Oh, one more thing!
\nCheck this new bar tape we just made!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

*BLUELUG* guruguru bar tape <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of old, this package has that 90’s vibes all around!<\/div>\n
It was designed by Digital the mechanic and apparently he was inspired by an old Stussy shirt he had years ago.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
We made these bar tapes in 330cm, which is enough to wrap dirt dropbars.<\/div>\n
If you have a gravel ride coming up, these bar tapes would be awesome to have!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Anyway, how’s the weather in your country?
\nIt’s getting very warm out here in Japan. No more heavy jackets, no more cold, gloomy day! Get a button up shirt and we’re good to go. It’s the perfect season for riding.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping that you guys are enjoying your bike life and we would love to help out your needs! Hit us up for questions or just to have a chat about bikes! I love seeing pictures of your bikes and they always make my day so keep em coming ya’ll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":125851,"template":"","tags":[],"better_featured_image":{"id":125851,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":900,"height":600,"file":"2021\/03\/2velocage.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"2velocage-640x427.jpg","width":640,"height":427,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":42757,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2velocage-640x427.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"2velocage-900x600.jpg","width":900,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":72352,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2velocage-900x600.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"2velocage-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":68580,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2velocage-800x600.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":72516},"post":125835,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2velocage.jpg"},"acf":{"online-store-search-keywords":"velocage","search-result-sort-order":"created_at","search-result-sort-by":"asc"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global\/125921"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
