Amy Dombroski on K-Edge

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

AceCo Sport Group recently provided Amy Dombroski with our new K-Edge Ring Guard and a K-Edge Cross prototype chain catcher. Here’s what Amy had to say about them:

“I have been on a quest to make my bikes as light as possible, while also riding some of the best and most innovative equipment.  When I found AceCo’s K-Series Cycling Solutions, I grew one step closer this.  AceCo is light-years ahead of any competition in their product design and ingenuity.  It also helps that they have the brilliant mind and bike racer, Kristin Armstrong as the impetus behind their K-Edge chain catchers.  I am happy to have AceCo’s support in my cycling endeavors because it is a product I truly believe in and can trust that there is as much thought behind the product as there is in my training.” — Amy Dombroski

Marin County Triathlon

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Hello there,
I just wanted to write and say that I saw the K-Edge tent at the Marin County Tri and thought it was an interesting idea, but didn’t think that I would need something like that since my chain had never dropped off during a race.  Then, during a climb in the bike portion of the race the very next day, believe it or not, my chain popped off during a shift…UGGH!  After unclipping and while fixing my chain as riders passed by I thought…  ”the K-Edge maybe would’ve been a smart buy”.  So, I just purchased this item online for my Cervelo S1 and am excited that I will never have to worry about a dropped chain again!…  Also, I just wanted to say that following Kristin for about 5 minutes before her and TJ pulled away from me (since they were averaging over 26 mph throughout the very crowded and technical course!!!…) was an absolute thrill! :) What a great cyclist she is…

Why no K-Edge on Wiggins’ TT Bike?

We’re also curious as to why Bradley wasn’t running his custom Garmin K-Edge Road chain catcher during the World Championship TT. According to sources close to the team, he has been running it all year.

PROMAN Hit Squad on K-Edge Road Chain Catchers

Monday, August 24th, 2009

In June, Eric Jensen and Joe Savola from AceCo Sport Group were in Minneapolis to support Kristin Armstrong on her fourth consecutive Nature Valley Grand Prix title.  While at the NVGP, Eric and Joe met with several teams on the benefits of having the K-Edge Road on their bikes.  We are proud that the PROMAN Women’s Cycling Team chose to run the K-Edges on their team bikes.  In fact K-Edge equipped bikes took first and second overall at the NVGP!
