TrickBitz
Lots of Bitz for your bike
The good guys at Trick Bitz bring in a bunch of really nice
stuff for your bike and do carry some very desirable bits for
older generation bikes as well, check out their website on
www.trickbitz.co.za to get your juices flowing. We asked for
a walk through their warehouse and had a bit of a scratch
around and found some very interesting magafters. Here
are a few of our favourites:
Chiaravalli Chain and sprocket kits
Not a new concept, but a handy one, sprocket and chain
kits by Chiarvalli, They come with the correct front and rear
sprocket, master link and chain in one blister pack kit, so
you can be sure that everything fits together nicely on your
bike and are the correct ratio’s and pitch. You can be certain
that the product is high quality made by power mad Italians
and wont let you down in a pinch, and they are reasonably
priced as well.
Rubber tech sprockets by Ognibene and JT
Yes, another ‘not so new concept’, but one we have
forgotten about as the sands of time leave us behind. Also
manufactured by some crazy Italians with a lust for speed
but with an ear for symphony and harmony. So, besides
being manufactured of the highest quality materials,
induction hardened process and attention to detail, they are
also designed with the new Silent Technology. One of our
biggest gripes, especially on road bikes is the rattle of the
chain on the sprockets. This rubber technology significantly
reduces that rackets as well as helps extend the life of
your chain and sprockets, but does not negate the need for
proper cleaning and maintenance.
Spare wheels for your paddock stands
Huh? We never knew that … and they come with new stub
axles and everything, even fancy pants colours. Now that
old paddock stand lying in the back of your garage can be
brought back to life, they even stock the bobbins to fit onto
your swing arm as well as the adjustable swivel adaptors
and pins to fir into the yolk of your bike.
Branded Key Rings
Clean, soft, elegant, sturdy and simple and branded with
your favourite bike brand. They wont damage your triple
clamp or paint work and they look good.

F61 Performance
A Proudly south African
product range by Autocycle
Compression Stabiliser
A little can of head ache and aggravation relief,
sorely needed in every workshop. It removes
gum and varnish from carburettor throat and
combustion intake systems. We have all tried to
clean a gummed up carb before and understand
that you have to do it properly or you are just
going to have to do it again and again and again
… Well F61’s Compression Stabiliser is a bit of
a short cut and will spare your Missus your foul
temper. It also cleans dirty sparks plugs while
reducing emissions while improving acceleration,
performance and fuel economy. You know you
need it …
Brake and Parts Cleaner
How many times has your missus growled at you
for nicking your handy andy or nail polish remover
to clean your bike and brake parts? Yeah, so
Brake and Parts cleaner not only brings about
marital bliss but it also effectively removes grease,
brake fluid and other contaminants from brake disc
and pads while stopping that horrible squeaking
noise from the brakes and enhancing brake
performance. Also great for getting grit, grime
and dirt off engines and etc in those hard to reach
place that your wife’s tooth brush wont get into.

Pocket Bikes
Pocketbike SA was founded in 2006 by Donovan Pearce›s
passion for motorcycles and MotoGP.
While on a trip to China he came across a great product in “Pocket Sized”
motorcycles and recognised the opportunity to introduce the youth of
South Africa to motorcycling and to get them passionate and driven into
the world of motorcycling from ages as young as 3 and 4 years old and
upwards in a safe, controlled and fun environment.
Donovan initially brought in a small quantity of 50cc 2 stroke air cooled
petrol driven 3HP Pocketbikes to test the market and was surprised by the
amount of interest it received and realized that this could go somewhere
so he started to Import 50cc Pocket-bikes, Quads, Dirt Bikes, Go-Karts,
Spares, Performance Parts and Kids Protection Kits, Helmets, Gloves
and Safety Gear which he started retailing and servicing from a small 6m
container in Circle Metals Scrap yard in Kenilworth which then over time
and after growing a large client base lead to Opening a Full Retail store
with Service and Repair Facilities at 163 Voortrekker Road Goodwood,
Cape Town 021 202 7583 as well as to the creation of a website which
then grew to a Online Store which has grown their client base nationally
via www.pocketbikesa.co.za
Their vision and drive from the very beginning was to become the largest
Importer and Retailer of 50cc Pocket-bike spares and kids 50cc entry
level bikes in the SA market and after 14 years of hard work, dedication
and with the support from all their valued customers, (who have become
friends as well), and all the motorcycle stores, service centres, mechanics
and race tracks, (who still continue to support them), they have become a
household name and they are still striving to grow, learn and become even
better over time…
‘We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their
continuous support over the years and the heart that is put into the
business by all the staff on a day to day basis as well as to Ride Fast and
Dirt & Trail for this opportunity. Stay Safe everyone” - from the Pocketbike
SA Team
