13Industries is excited to announce the addition of Cane Creek Cycling components to their brand portfolio, effective immediately.
Cane Creek Cycling Components is widely known as the pioneers of threadless headsets with the launch of the Aheadset in 1992, this invention single-handedly moved bicycle design from threaded steerer tubes with quill stems to threadless steer tubes combined with clamp-on stems for easier and more reliable adjustment.
Fast forward to 2023 and Cane Creek is still bringing innovation to the headset market, as well as having broadened their product portfolio to offer market leading suspension products, bottom brackets, cranks, seat posts, stems and smaller parts and accessories. As an employee owned company based out of North Carolina, Cane Creek sets the highest standards when bringing a product to market, with the belief that they will only pursue an idea for a product if they believe that the product will enhance a riders experience.
About 13industries
13Industries was founded in 2014 through the workshop and retail environment, where we found it was increasingly difficult to find a balance between the price, quality of bicycle spares and consistent supply. With a lifetime passion and involvement in cycling, we have managed to create a balance between providing quality spares and parts to our dealer network across South Africa. We have subsequently added in our own in-house brands, namely Cure Components, Millennium and Salve, as well as gaining the distribution rights for Marsh Guard, Burgtec Components, OneUp Components, All Mountain Style, H2Sport Drink, and now Cane Creek Cycling Components
“We are very happy to be partnering with Cane Creek as the sole distributor in South Africa. Having been in the cycling world for many years, Cane Creek has been synonymous with providing the highest quality products straight out of their North Carolina factory, so to be partnering with them and distributing their range of products in South Africa to our network of bicycle shops around the country is very exciting“
Craig Paul, Founder 13Industries
“Cane Creek is thrilled to announce its new partnership with 13 Industries, a leading distributor of premium cycling brands in South Africa. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Cane Creek, as it opens exciting opportunities to expand our brand and engage with South Africa’s vibrant cycling community. Cane Creek is proud to join forces with 13 Industries and their family of cycling brands, which share our commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. Together, we look forward to delivering exceptional products and services to South African riders and dealers, and to strengthening our presence in this dynamic and growing market.”
