Cafe Roubaix Bicycle Studio in Cochrane, Alberta, has picked up the Canadian distribution rights for Pacenti Cycle Design products. "As a wheel builder, the addition of distributing Pacenti products was a natural progression for us," states Cafe Roubaix owner, Dan Richter. "I had contacted Pacenti to order in rims for the shop and they indicated they were looking for a distributor.  We had provided some names of distribution companies that we were happy to work with, but added that if they needed help, we could look at Cafe Roubaix as an option."

In 2007, Kirk Pacenti introduced the 650B/27.5 wheel standard as a viable option to 26 and 29 inch wheels in modern mountain biking. Along with a pioneering the trend in wider and lighter mountain bike rims, Pacenti has also designed a new, wider road rim, the SL23, which has proven to be an outstanding option for road wheels.

Cafe Roubaix will be offering the full Pacenti Cycle Design line-up of wheel components to Canadian dealers, shops, wheel builders, and retail customers. "Needless to say, we are looking forward to providing these high quality, Pacenti designed components to the Canadian market. We already have orders coming in from dealers for the rims and rim tape, and from customers for complete wheels," Richter commented.
