]]>Introducing the PARLEE PF30 Ultra Torque Bottom Bracket!http://www.parleecycles.com/parleenewsevents/2013/2/18/introducing-the-parlee-pf30-ultra-torque-bottom-bracket.htmlPARLEE Cycles2013-02-19T01:55:37Z2013-02-19T01:55:37ZWe have begun shipping our in-house designed and built Press-Fit 30 bottom brackets for use with all Campagnolo Ultra Torque crank sets. Our cups have been specifically engineered for use on carbon fiber frames, however they work wonderfully on metal frames as well.

The cups feature a deeper engagement and enhanced rigidity versus the factory cups for years of silent, reliable performance.

The cups are sold as a set and include the wave washer and retention clip for the right side cup. The cups are compatible with the nylon sleeve (as pictured) that is included with all EPS drive systems so the cups work perfectly with both mechanical and electronic drive systems. Installation is done in the same manner as the factory cups, so no special tools are needed.

Like the other bottom brackets in our range for use with Shimano cranks, these are available for sale in our webstore, via our dealer network as well as through bicycle retailers worldwide. All complete PARLEE bicycles with Campagnolo drive systems will include these cups.

PARLEE Cycles is supporting the extraordinary fundraising efforts of Boston area teenager, Connor McNeill, for the 2012 Pan Mass Challenge (PMC) with an exciting raffle opportunity to win a brand new PARLEE Z5 road bike valued at over 5,000.00



Connor is working with PARLEE Cycles and his local PARLEE dealer, Belmont Wheelworks, to reach his personal fundraising goal of $10,000 by organizing a charity raffle supporting PMC. All proceeds from this raffle go to supporting the PMC.

Connor is a 7 year veteran of the Pan Mass Challenge. Each summer, since he was 11 years old he has raised thousands of dollars for the Jimmy Fund. This year, he will ride on August 5th as a 16 year in his eighth straight PMC.

PARLEE Cycles, Wheelworks and Connor have teamed to donate a legendary PARLEE Z5 bicycle. This beautiful bicycle features winners choice of SRAM Rival or Shimano 105 components and is valued at $5,000.00 and the raffle tickets are one ticket for $50, five for $200, and ten for $399.

We are excited to be involved with this project! Support an awesome cause, an amazing event and have a chance to win a dream bike! What could be better!

About the PMC:

The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is an annual bike-a-thon and a pioneer of the athletic fundraising industry that today raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country. The organization was founded in 1980 and has since raised $338 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The PMC is a model of fundraising efficiency. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to the cause. In 2011, the PMC generated 60 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue and it was Dana-Farber’s single largest contributor. Over 230,000 individual contributions were made to last year’s fundraising campaign. In 2012, PMC cyclists will ride with the goal of raising $36 million for Dana-Farber.
