Some months ago, I introduced David Pili to you guys. Now i’m really stoked to present his welcome edit!
Filmed this fall by Pepy Todesky and his brother Laurent Pili, David rode some new spots in their town Geneva, especially the new skatepark.
It seems that his first pair AURORA V2 Straps still lasts.

Time is running, it’s christmas again.
And finally the AURORA Fall/Winter 2013 drop is ready. It’s a fine selection of essentials, with the focus on quality and the small details.
I’m very proud on the new AURORA knitted hats, they are Made in Germany. The highest quality possible with great virgin wool and fine merino wool, manufactured by a old Family Business with all their experience and craftsmanship. The AURORA knitted hats are available in black, charcoal, burgundy and marine.

Besides this I’m also happy to introduce the AURORA Technical Keychain. It features a patented magnetic FidLock slider to easy release the keys, but also securely hold them in place. But it get’s more technical with the also patented Freekey keyring, it allows to easily add or remove keys without any stress.
The AURORA Technical Keyring features a YKK velcro closure to attach it to your belt, backpack, MOLLE system or everywhere else you can think of.
This Keychain is Made in Germany aswell.

Alongside these products this drop also includes a selection of AURORA Snapback Caps (in burgundy, black, dark green), Baseball Longsleeves (in grey and white) and a Crewneck. All with subtle “Above” detailing.

Hej Friends,
too much silence over here. I’m really sorry for that:
AURORA is still there and there is new stuff in the making, but I can’t really tell, when it is going to be released.
But as always, it’s worth waiting. Promised!
I’m busy with my sewing machine and my friends from the SHRED Crew are killing it on their bikes. They entered the Nucult video contest some weeks ago and made the first place with their edit. The SHRED Crew from switzerland consists of three members, David Pili and Pepy Todesky, who both ride with the AURORA V2 Velcro Straps and Davids brother Laurent Pili who rides with Zontrac Straps.
I’m really proud to support these guys and it’s awesome to see how they beat the AURORA Straps.
But now I better stop the talk, check out the edit!

Good work guys!

What a nice suprise. Pepy Todesky from the SHRED Crew in Switzerland just released a short clip featuring the AURORA Velcro Straps V2 he got from me during the Fahrradschau 2013 / Fixed Days in Berlin.
I really appreciate the great feedback he gave me and of course this laid-back clip.

Check it out!

When it comes to building up a bike, finding the right pedal is one of the most difficult tasks. Depending on the frame and bike design, there is need for something that fits, looks good and also works well. A bike for the daily commute needs to be durable and light. While commuting most people don’t want to wear cleats and cycling shoes, with sneakers or leather shoes it’s difficult to find a solution that doesn’t damage the shoes but still performs well.
Our friends from schindelhauer developed a pedal that is exactly what a lot people where searching for.
It’s bridging the gap between classic road pedals and large platform pedals. A sleek and modern design with a flat surface and super low profile.
Made from premium high-strength aluminium, with reduced dimensions to save weight. Instead of the usual pins and small contact area on normal pedals, the schindelhauer “Urban Pedale” uses a flat top with 3M grip tape to secure the shoe on the pedal. This prevents the shoes from damage, but also secures them well while riding.
The schindelhauer “Urban Pedal” works perfect with our AURORA Velcro Straps V2, it seems that these pedals were designed just for them.
Together this combination offers a safe and comfortable stand and all around perfectly distributed force.

Specs:
- CNC machined high-strength aluminium
- sealed industrial bearing combined with a plain bearing
- CrMo steel axles
- durable 3M premium grip tape
- weight: 300 g/pair
- available in black and silver

You can order your pair of schindelhauer “Urban Pedals” without or with our recommended AURORA Velcro Straps V2.

Order your set up now!

This is David Pili. He lives and rides in Geneva / Switzerland.
He is 26 years old and rides fixed freestyle for more than two years.
With his brother Laurent Pili and Pepy Todesky they created the Shred Crew back in 2011. They gained a lot attention since then and were featured in several publications.
David got a old school style, he loves analogue photography and this is visible with his recent edit. With his bike he went to New York City for some month and brought back this video.

I’m really happy to support him with AURORA, i’m sure there is much more to come. So if you see him or the other Shred Crew guys around your spot get in touch with them and have great session!

Ride safe!

Sebastian
