Bicycling

From France, VAR is internationally known for their vast range of fine bike tools and supplies for the very discerning to the novice bike mechanic. SlideWright has a good cross section of available VAR Bike Tools in stock with the ability (like many of our products) to custom order others not found in stock. Here is the VAR Product Catalogue for 2012 (10MB pdf) which we bookmarked so you can use it as an easy reference.

If there are items you need from the catalogue, not shown on our site, please drop us a line and we’ll order it for you.

ParkTool has an excellent bike repair resource library. It is a great reference for the DIYer to learn and apply the numerous techniques while maintaining your bike(s). Check it out and gain more confidence tackling an array of tasks which are easier than you may think.

You can also purchase the Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair and keep it on your bench as a quick reference. The book can also handle grease stains better than your keyboard when you run into a problem and need a quick answer.

We are happy to announce that we have made a major move and commitment to the sports, activities and life styles relative to the bicycle. As with Ski and Snowboards we are, and will be, offering an array of bike tools, parts and supplies, along with tips and techniques, to help you keep your bike or bikes rolling along and extend their useful life.

Please let us know if there are any items you need or help on dealing with bike maintenance issues. As with Ski, Snowboard, backpacking, Hiking, Paddling, Camping, etc, we have access to a virtually unlimited supply of tools, parts and supplies. If we don’t show it in the store, it doesn’t mean we can’t get it for you.
