// Tamaki Drive, Auckland
Nothing to buy. This summer is a listening one.
I’m Adam. No shop, no pop-up, nothing for sale yet. This summer I’m at the swim series and the races with a notebook, asking what people use and what they can never find on the Drive.

// The shelf
Twenty-six things, and a shop you can walk through.
Ranges, products, and a shop that keeps what you pick.
// What's going on
It starts with a notebook.
Written down as it happens, not when it is finished.
The notebook
- NowOut at the swim series and the weekend races with a notebook. What people use, what they run out of, and what they cannot find on the Drive at all.
- ComealongKohimarama on Thursday nights, Mission Bay and Bean Rock on the weekend dates below. Adam will be the one with the notebook.
- TellusSomething you can never find locally — a flavour, a size, a part. That is the whole point of the notebook.
What you can do now
// The mechanic's corner
The jobs you would rather not do on the kitchen floor.
A bench, a stand and someone who knows what a worn jockey wheel sounds like. It sits inside the shop, not beside it: you drop the bike, do the errand, pick it up.
We are still signing who runs it, so there is no name or price list here yet. When there is, it goes on this page first.

- Brake bleeds, pads and rotorsPlanned
- Wheel truingPlanned
- Bottom brackets and headsetsPlanned
- Pre-race check-overPlanned
No bookings taken yet. Nothing is charged and no bike is held until the workshop opens.
// The range
What is on the shelf.
Seven pilot prices, confirmed at launch. The rest of the range is on the shop page.
// Ask
The usual questions.
When do you open?
Not yet. When there is a date worth telling you, it goes here first, and nowhere else.
So what happens this summer?
Adam is out at the swim series and the races with a notebook, working out what people use and what is missing.
What will you actually sell?
Fuel first, then gear for swim, run and bike. If there is something you can never find on the Drive, that is worth telling me about now.
Can I buy online?
Not for a long time yet. There is nothing to sell until the stock lands. Email goes out first when there is.
Where exactly is the shop?
On Tamaki Drive. The address goes on here when a lease is signed, not before.
Who is behind it?
Adam. A newer triathlete, a local, and the person who will be on the Drive most mornings anyway.
