Parts is Parts

We stock all sorts of stuff. What we are listing here is a variety of options you will find at Salvagetti.

We can get everything that the big players can, we are just more picky about what we carry. That doesn't mean you should expect to pay more, you just have worry a little less about your decision.

For each item, we will list what we keep in stock and what we recommend, but will normally need to order for you.

Tires/Tubes

Tires make a huge difference in the way a bike rides. It is amazing to feel the difference of the right tire for the right conditions.

Trail - Knobby and sticky
Road - Low rolling resistance and tight cornering
Commute - A to B without a problem
Tubes - Presta and Schraeder

Without accessories, your bike would be useless. They make the bike work like you want, keep you safe and make sure that you get to keep what you paid for.

Lights
Pumps
Locks
Tools/Books

Components

The bike is made of frame and components. Components can make a bike lighter, more nimble, easier to handle, more ergonomic, more more...This list is long, but the alphabet can help.

Forks
Handlebars
Headset
Grips/Tape
Saddles (Seats)

$$$ vs. Weight vs. Longevity

To some cyclists, saving weight is worth all the money in the world. Others want as many miles per dollar. At Salvagetti, we typically try to keep in stock the parts that aren't necessarily that much more money, but save you weight and frustrating frequent repairs. A prime example of this is Mavic Wheels. At every price point, they are hard to beat for price, weight and strength.
