Dear participants in the CRAFT BIKE TRANSALP 2010 powered by NISSAN,

it may be one thing to get oneself into shape, but its’ clearly another to prepare one’s bike to get through what will probably amount to its longest and hardest challenge - without any failings.

To support you and your bike(s) in that extraordinarily tough feat, the CRAFT BIKE TRANSALP 2010 powered by NISSAN will be escorted by reputable service partners from the bike industry. They will try anything to help you and your trusted bike make it to Riva del Garda as finishers of the race.

Service Partner

The names of service partners for the CRAFT BIKE TRANSALP 2010 powered by NISSAN will be announced in the very near future. Currently, we’re still negotiating with some of the biggest international industry names whose bikes have always been a popular choice for many participants.

Rear derailleur hanger

Definition BIKE Magazin:
A threaded extension hanging from the right ‘drop-out’ to which the derailleur is attached. Every race participant should bring along a spare on the CRAFT BIKE TRANSALP 2010 powered by NISSAN since there is a confusing number of different sizes out there.

Rear shock / rear shock bushings

Definition BIKE-Magazin:
Term used for the rear suspension element on a full-suspension bike. Every participant in the CRAFT BIKE TRANSALP 2010 powered by NISSAN should carry additional bushings for their rear shock system.

Swing arm bearing / only full-suspension bikes

Definition BIKE-Magazin (bearing):
A mechanism to reduce friction on revolving or sliding parts. The main bearings on a bike are headset, bottom bracket, hubs.
As there are many different makes of swing arm (pivot) bearings, please ensure to bring a complete swing arm bearing kit.

Keep up your ongoing preparations… they’ll pay off one way or another.
