New York, NY (FPRC) January 24^th, 2012

Champion System and Stan’s NoTubes have expanded their support of cycling by creating a new U.S. based elite team for the 2012 season. The new Champion System p/b Stan’s NoTubes/CRCA team will be based in New York City, registered with USA Cycling as a Domestic Elite Team and is an official development program for the Champion System Pro Cycling Team based in Asia.

“We’re very excited to be working with Champion System and Stan’s NoTubes on this new program,” says managing director Igor Volshteyn. “Having the support of a company like Champion System is amazing and partnering with Stan’s NoTubes is key as their tubeless technology is revolutionizing the road bike industry.”

NYVC: Hi, Igor. I have to ask this first becuase I’m a bit confused; isn’t there already a Stan’s NoTubes team? How did we get two No Tubes teams in the CRCA? Did you take the sponsor from the existing team?

Igor Volshteyn: I think it’s a little inaccurate to just call us both “NoTubes” teams. Yes, we are both sponsored by Stan’s NoTubes (SNT), and both of our teams will compete exclusively on tubeless technology in 2012, but SNT is our presented by sponsor while it is the title sponsor of SNT/AXA. The distinction between the two levels of sponsorship is significant and it’s actually not unique in cycling for two teams to share sponsors at different sponsorship levels. There are a couple of teams and relationships that come to mind. There’s Kenda/5-Hour Energy Pro Cycling p/b GEARGRINDER and Jelly Belly Cycling Team p/b Kenda. In addition there’s the GEARGRINDER Pro Development Team. One other that comes to mind is UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team and Chemstar p/b UnitedHealthcare Cycling Team.

When Champion System was started, they were determined to create a company that would take an entirely new approach to custom teamwear. No longer would customers have to pay absurd prices, endure confusing price structures, be limited to using only a few colors and have high minimums forced upon them.

The key to the plan was simple:

1. Use only the finest materials and construction methods to make pro-quality garments.

2. Create a full line of custom teamwear so any team, regardless of size, could look like a pro squad.

3. Offer teams unlimited colors on all garments and not charge them extra.

4. Create a simple, all-inclusive pricing structure.

5. Allow teams to order as few or as many items as they want by offering the most flexible minimums in the industry.

Champion System has combined our strong 20+ year knowledge of the apparel business with our love of sports to offer your team the best possible products and service.  Nothing is more important to them than knowing they are doing a good job, so feel free to contact them if you have any questions regarding  products or services.

Stan’s NoTubes was established in 2001 by Stan himself. Working in his garage he thought there must be a better way to prevent bicycle flats. Using his exceptional ingenuity, he devised the No Tubes tubeless tire system, which has become the preferred method of converting a standard mountain bike wheel into tubeless worldwide. Before anyone in the industry even thought to consider the concept, Stan extended his brand to encompass tubeless rims with short side walls and his patented bead socket technology. Utilizing the same ingenuity that helped him develop the tubeless system, he has devised a line of tubeless ready rims that maximizes strengths and minimizes weaknesses. Bead socket technology allows for lower sidewall heights, increasing tire traction and decreasing the chance of pinch flats. All Stan’s rims have something in common that sets them apart from all the others–exceptional and innovative design.

NoTubes was originally known as the secret weapon of elite mountain bike racers. Today our products are being used worldwide by racers, Olympians, and recreational riders for their cost, performance, and weight advantages. Stan is an inventor who is always tinkering and looking for better solutions. When you buy a NoTubes product, you know the idea came directly from Stan Koziatek himself. Check back often to see what is new.

Imagine lawyers who are as interested in what you do as you are. Who understand the value of your new technology or new product or new transaction. Who are prepared to work with you to create it, protect it and maximize your opportunity to derive value from it. Who’ll help you to bring it to fruition, or finance it, or bring it to market, or sell it. And, who are prepared to zealously defend it – in or out of court. Imagine lawyers with imagination. This is MoFo.

Everyone dreams of founding a humble company and setting out to create a best-in-category product. Expand that desire a bit to think about what would happen if that same company grew at a dramatic rate because everyone wanted that superior product. Take a look to the future and foresee that company 85 years later, still producing that same great product, growing at a very rapid clip. You have just read the short history of IRC. For us, that product is bicycle tires.

MoJo Graduated Compression isnt just a tight fit and feeling. MoJo uses medical grade materials and technology providing the best performace garments ever created. Our garments are sized by ankle and Calf circumference ensuring a custom like fit.

The materials we have chosen combine current sport technologys like Coolmax – a wicking fiber that pulls sweat away from the skin, Silver – an antimicrobial/bactirial and wound healing agent and medical grade nylon and spandex.  the highest standards of quality enable us to be FDA and CE certified.

Medical professionals have long recommended compression for patients looking to improve blood circulation and overall leg health.
Backed by  MoJO’s parent company Discount Surgical Stockings – 15+ years of experience, MoJo uses the science behind medical compression to help athletes maximize performance and recovery.

Our graduated compression medical technology forces blood flow up — towards  your heart. Tighter in the ankle, looser in the calf
this “pumping” effect brings blood back to the heart. This reduces lactic acid build-up (so you don’t get that sluggish feeling) while stabilizing your muscles, and speeding recovery.  Compression socks have been scientifically proven to improve blood flow, allowing athletes to reach higher speeds using less energy.  With MoJo Recovery socks you increase blood circulation by up to 30% while at rest – this shortens recovery time significintly.
