Located in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Chain Reaction Cycles is a bicycle accessory shop. With a $1500 bank loan, George and Janice Watson founded Ballynure Cycles in Ballynure, Northern Ireland, in 1985. It was renamed Ballyclare Cycles in 1989 when it relocated to Ballyclare, Northern Ireland. It was during this time period that Watsons organised and ran some of Ireland’s earliest downhill events and the Northern Ireland Downhill Series.
An online store and adverts in bike magazines followed the company’s success. This led to a move to a storage facility in 1998. November 15, 1999 was the date they purchased www.ChainReactionCycles.com. Profits for the business increased year after year. 2011 brought in a total of £136.4 million (€170 million). In 2013, sales reached a high of £155.6 million.
There were numerous languages and currencies to choose from at this point. Sales were reduced to $136 million in 2015 after a UK competitor purchased a full stake in the company. It is necessary for the business to provide funds as well. Wiggle and Chain Reaction Cycles announced in February 2016 that they were merging to form a new firm. Chain Reaction Cycles has a location in Belfast’s Boucher Road neighbourhood. A bicycle repair shop also operates on the property. For its “Name X” bicycle, CRC not only makes and sells the components under that brand, but it also designs and develops them on its own.
Prime BlackEdition 50 Carbon Disc Wheelset
The T700 UD carbon fibre rim of the BlackEdition 50 Carbon Disc Wheelset is a fantastic choice for straight-line performance.Fast and sleek, the BlackEdition 50 Carbon Disc Wheelset reduces air turbulence and enhances cornering stability.
A stronger and more responsive bike is the result of using CNC-machined 7075 hubs and DT Swiss straight-pull spokes.The BlackEdition 38 Carbon Disc Wheelset has a number of extras to help you achieve your cycling goals.We’ve worked closely with Vitus Pro Cycling since the launch of the BlackEdition line in 2018 to uncover small tweaks that could help them win races in the United Kingdom.
In the conclusion, we have the vehicle’s 2020 BlackEdition variants. It took us a while to find the right resin and layup for our new and enhanced BlackEdition rims. The BlackEdition’s weight has been decreased by employing a higher-quality carbon fibre, making it the strongest rim we’ve ever made.

Nukeproof Horizon V2 Wheel ARD and Sealant Bundle
In terms of alloy rim design, the wheelset will be appreciated by enduro and downhill (DH) riders. With the ductility, yield strength, and weight advantages of a 6-series alloy, it combines the advantages of a 7-series alloy and a 6-series alloy.
Because the sidewalls on the front rims are thinner than those on the back, they provide less stability on the terrain. Because of the J-bend spokes, adjusting and replacing the spokes is a breeze. Adding sealant to the pre-taped wheels and putting on your tyre is all that is required. The new Nukeproof Horizon valve is compatible with the tubeless valve’s built-in core extractor.
All you have to do is add your choice tyres and the kit includes a 500ml container of lifeline sealant and two ARD inserts.The ARD tyre insert is incredibly thin and light thanks to closed-cell foam, but it provides excellent protection. With reduced tyre pressures, you’ll be able to wreak havoc on the trails without fear of flat tyres. When Kelan Grant’s tyre burst during a race day warm-up, the CRC-Mavic rider was able to finish the stage on just his A.R.D.
