Race Tech Tool Specials

Race Tech are having an End of Summer Tool Special!
15% OFF Selected Race Tech Tools

From the website:

Hi folks,
I was talking with my staff and they thought with the 2004's starting to come out you might really like a discount on some of our tools. If you click on the tools you will get more info about them.

  • I think you will really like the Preload Adjusting Tool. It fits into the tightest places with the bent tip design and is made of hardened tool steel to take a beating.
  • Check out the price on our T-Handles! As for quality, I will put them up against the best you can find (and we also have a set with a 13mm).
  • Once you use the Fork Oil Level Tool you'll never go back to the old fashioned ones.
  • Our Shock Spring Compressor really saves time and it has a new Safety Shaft Locking Device.
  • The Vise Jaws are made of Aluminum and are awesome for holding fork tubes and cartridges.

X-treme Lumezzane International Enduro

[image:1184,top] X-treme Lumezzane is touted the most beautiful, toughest, hardest, longest and richest enduro race in the World. This year the race lived up to it's name and attracted over 10,000 spectators to the mountainous village of Lumezzane in the region of Brescia, Northern Italy.

Current World Enduro Champion, Stefan Merriman emerged the winner of the famous international enduro race after 10 hours on Saturday, 2.5 hours in the night and 6.5 hours on Sunday. The stifling heat, tight time checks on the trail and 22 special tests in total made this year's race particularly difficult, with only 21 out of the 70 riders entered finishing.

Merriman won both day stages of the race and was only beaten in the night stage by Fausto Scovolo (who did not complete the first day stage due to mechanical problems and was thus excluded from final standings). Victory in both the 2 stroke class and overall classification earned Merriman 6,000 Euro ($12,000 AUD) for his efforts. [image:1185,bottom]

individual classes of the Italian Enduro Championships, thus Merriman
can only contend the overall title. After six overall victories in the
six days of racing for the season, Merriman runs away with the title
three races before the end of the championships. The hot conditions made
this race very difficult. The riders completed three loops of a 60km
trail, with two cross tests and one Enduro test. The race was situated
