Louis Garneau has sent his season’s greetings in form of a video. The cyclist and jolly founder of Louis Garneau Sports Inc. dresses up as Santa and tears around on a fat bike.

Prevent saddle sores with Louis Garneau’s chamois cream. But if chafing does happen, address it with a skin repair gel by Assos. Likewise, keep your chain from degrading. Use a lube like the Bike Medicine’s hard-core Purple Extreme.

Schwalbe’s Procore features two narrow inner tires for mountain bike wheels (26″, 27.5″ or 29″). Each inner tire sits on a rim and holds pressures between 55 and 85 psi. On top of the Procore inner tire is a regular tubeless-compatible tire, which can be run at 10 to 20 psi. The two-chamber system means you can get great traction from the low outer pressure, and reduce the likelihood of getting a pinch flat with the high inner pressure. Just one valve manages the air in both chambers.
