Alas, we’ve finally come to the end of our Philly Bike Expo journey – for this year, at least, because I sure plan on going back again next time!

With the bikes out of the way, this third and final tech gallery covers the supporting cast: the parts, accessories, and fun additions that help make our bikes ours. Color is part of that story, of course, but there’s also some artful detail, neat ways to carry your stuff, and tools and equipment to help keep your bike running the way it should.

If you missed the first two rounds of my coverage from Philly Bike Expo, you can find them all here. And another reminder for the cheap seats: these images will look better if you open up this article in a browser window, and you’ll also be able to download individual images in full-resolution if you want to use one for your background, too.

See you next year, Philadelphia! Maybe I’ll carve out a bit more time to hang out more in 2026.


Wolf Tooth EnCase 30 cc pump
Wolf Tooth Components’ new EnCase 30 cc pump is so impossibly tiny. I tried it on a gravel bike in the booth and it actually seemed to work pretty well.

Here it is mounted next to a bottle cage for some more perspective. Despite the diminutive size, there’s still enough room inside for a tubeless plug kit.
Bridge Surveyor
Wolf Tooth Components used this Bridge Surveyor as a backdrop for a whole bunch of its orange-anodized components. Expect to see a whole lot more of this bike here sooner than later.

Any car racing fans out there?
Wolf Tooth Components orange UDH
Wolf Tooth Components is one of several companies that are now offering color-anodized UDH hangers. It’s a nice way to add a bit of pop without breaking the bank.
Wolf Tooth Components T47 bottom bracket
Oh hey, what do we have here? Looks like Wolf Tooth Components is about to drop a new T47 bottom bracket.
Wolf Tooth Components orange rotor lockring
If you’re going to do it, you may as well go all-in.
Wolf Tooth Components Axle Handle Multi-Tool
This thru-axle handle isn’t just for the sake of convenience. It pulls off to reveal a bit-based multi-tool with 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm hex bits, flat and Phillips head screwdrivers, and both T10 and T25 Torx drivers.
Wolf Tooth Components Waveform pedal gold
Wolf Tooth Components makes flat pedals in both flat (the Ripsaw) and concave (Waveform) shapes, the latter of which was just released in this eye-catching gold color.

All of Wolf Tooth Components’ pedals feature an inboard Igus bushing and three outboard cartridge bearings.

Princeton Carbonworks offers its wheels in ten different colors and patterns, four of which change annually.
