Our cups have been specifically engineered for use on carbon fiber frames, however they work wonderfully on metal frames as well.</p>
<p>The cups feature a deeper engagement and enhanced rigidity versus the factory cups for years of silent, reliable performance.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Like the other bottom brackets in our range for use with Shimano cranks, these are available for sale in our <a href="http://www.parleecycles.com/store/" target="_blank">webstore</a>, via our dealer network as well as through bicycle retailers worldwide. All complete PARLEE bicycles with Campagnolo drive systems will include these cups.</p>

All proceeds from this  raffle go to supporting the PMC.<br /> <br /> Connor is a 7 year veteran of  the Pan Mass Challenge.

This year, he will ride  on August 5th as a 16 year in his eighth straight PMC. <br /> <br /> PARLEE  Cycles, Wheelworks and Connor have teamed to donate a  legendary PARLEE  Z5 bicycle.

Support an awesome  cause, an amazing event and have a chance to win a dream bike! What  could be better!<br /> <br /> About the PMC:<br /> <br /> 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&rsquo;s annual revenue and it was Dana-Farber&rsquo;s  single largest contributor. Over 230,000 individual contributions were  made to last year&rsquo;s fundraising campaign. In 2012, PMC cyclists will  ride with the goal of raising $36 million for Dana-Farber.<br /> <br /> <br /> Contact:<br /> <br /> PARLEE Cycles<br /> 69 Federal St.<br /> Beverly, MA 01915<br /> (978) 998-4880<br /> info@parleecycles.com</span></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.parleecycles.com/parleenewsevents/rss-comments-entry-20083052.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Internal Campagnolo EPS now shipping!</title><category>Press Releases</category><dc:creator>PARLEE Cycles</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2012 19:04:58 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.parleecycles.com/parleenewsevents/2012/4/11/internal-campagnolo-eps-now-shipping.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">457522:5142121:15805136</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 512px;" src="http://www.parleecycles.com/storage/Z5SLi.EPS.3.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1334171633579" alt="" /></span></span>We are pleased to announce that the latest innovation from our friends in Vicenza is now compatible with the PARLEE range.
