BRIT BITS: Invisiframe Frame Protection

Invisiframe are a Shropshire based company, offering frame protection with a difference. It started in the usual way, owner Lee Regan was sick of frame scuffs and cable routing rubs on his bike, so decided to get some decent clear vinyl and sort the problem out with his own version of a bike wrap, he sussed out an efficient way of wrapping the frame, bubble, wrinkle and crease free, it worked, looked mint and his mates were the next customers, more and more people wanted it done till he was in the position to set up a proper business called Invisiframe.

BRIT BITS: Burgtec Offset Shock Bushes

In DH offset bushes have now been used for years by lots of the top riders, they slacken the head angle and also lower the BB height and visa-versa. This worked for Marc Beaumont on his race winning Val Di Sol World Cup of 2010. They are now getting more and more popular even in the Enduro bike market, as riders can do an “on the fly” BB height and head angle adjustment to suite certain tracks. The head angle can be slackened or sharpened up to 1.5 degrees, depending on shock bolt thicknesses. This worked out a treat for my GT, as I had removed the head slackening adjustable headset plus the BB height on my bike is known to be too high. I put it to it’s first test at the UK Gravity Innerleithen, where it wasn’t short of pedalling between stages and the downhills were steep and gnarly. They really did work a treat, transforming the bike, it felt easier up the hills and just seemed to soak up all the big hits with confident ease. All I can say is it does what it says on the tin and that’s what we want!
