We were going to announce this a bit earlier but the build up to April Fools would make the genuinity of this announcement questionable.
.
.
2026 is THE year where we have realised we have outgrown our own shoes ages ago and we simply might soon struggle to deliver the promises we make daily.
.
.
We have a workshop, shop, clothing company, events, travelling, overseas ventures, events company (more on this soon) and our own riding to juggle.
.
.
We have become so busy that without an extra day off we will start failing by mid 2027 considering the trajectory of all things at the moment.
.
.
We are expanding further and we are doing more but it means that occasionally we need to be in 2 places 32 hours travel apart; we simply cannot brace to say no to new opportunities.
.
.
Starting from April 2026 we will close Mondays to make sure the operations can continue unaffected and we can focus on extras we pick up every year.
.
.
If you have ever had a message from us it'll be mentioned in the future messages but please remember we are closed Mondays. This is simply to allow us to do all the things you throw at us in a timely manner.
.
.
.
See you at the races. See you in the workshop. See you in the shop. See you wearing SMILINGCHAINLINK. See you on the trails. See you at the events. See you wearing T'North. See you around.
.
.
Thanks for everything.

#smilingchainlink #smlngchnlnk #SMLNGCHNLNKEVENTS #tbcleeds #thebikecult
was first introduced as a brand identity shift that was set up as an umbrella company that will be taking care of all the operations we are involved with:
.
.
.
Used bikes collections/sales/repairs, professional workshop services, active lifestyle holidays, race support and organisation, parts and accessories production and sales, self sufficient and off the grid race support van, sponsorships and ambassadorships, brand new bikes sales (coming soon), warranty repairs, testing and RD, data collection and surveying, consultancy and advisory services, courses and educational services, and others...
.
.
.
.
The SmilingChainLink logo will be a part of every element's identity where as an umbrella company SMLNGCHNLNK will be responsible for the management of all of those elements.
.
.
.
.
You can now see why the shift happened and the operations behind it.
.
.
.
.
Same people. Same vibe. Same logo. Same collabs. Same stickers.
.
Let's go!!!
