  PLEGS SHIPPING NOWUnless you’ve been living under a rock for the last two years, chances are likely that you already know a lot about the PLEGS. To sum it up, they are simple, cheap, light and STRUCTURAL plastic pegs. They aren’t magic. They won’t pull the chicks in or make you invincible…
  Spokes and NipplesAnother product we showed at Interbike was our new spokes and taper hex nipples for 2008…
  Ratchet Hub BasicsThis is the new Ratchet Hub, launching early in 2008… hopefully…
  Back From InterbikeFinally got back from Interbike in Las Vegas on Thursday night after driving and flying for the best part of 24 hours… It is great to see everyone and catch up, but those long haul flights aren’t a lot of fun…
  G.L.A.N.D. MkIIIIt’s finally here. The answer to ALL your hopes and dreams. The new smaller, lighter GLAND with bigger cable-tie-holes and BOBBLES! Because GLANDs fix to, (and rotate with) the wheel they can use the very spokes they protect to help support them. This also means that they dont effect the dropout spacing or put any […]
  AurignyFirst news of 2007, but what news! On Saturday the 10th February, my girlfriend gave birth to our gorgeous baby girl Aurigny. (Yes we had to ask her her name a few times before we were sure how to pronounce it too… it’s Oar-e-knee).
  Volcano Bolts!!Another three post frenzy… you lucky lucky people… Don’t worry these bolts aren’t really volcanos… or are they?!?!? No. they arent… What they are are smooth low profile bolts for the Marmoset and Monkey hubs if you aren’t planning on using pegs. 6mm allen key sockets, slightly shorter than regular bolts to save that all […]
  New T-Shirt designWith winter rapidly closing in here in Sheffield you have two choices… make a run for the sun like Mike and Joe, or put on some warmer clothes and put up with it…. So obviously this is the ideal time of year to bring out a new T-Shirt…. 100% cotton.
  Marmoset and Monkey BoltsThis is something I have been asked for for many years. Custom Monkey and Marmoset bolts. Same length and thread as the old stock Monkey and Marmoset 3/8″ bolts but with a head to take a 17mm socket (rather than the old 9/16″). This allows you to use the same socket you use for your […]
  Pleg PreviewWell this website has been up for a while with pegs listed under the product section, and this is what we have been working on all that time. As some people may already know, I have been running “plastic” pegs on my own bike for about the last 6 years now, ever since I put […]
  GLAND 3 PreviewWham! Just two days since the last entry and here we are back with more! We showed these babies off at Interbike so it seemed a good time to let everyone get a quick preview of the new GLAND3. Smaller than the old GLAND but with much bigger cable tie slots and “bobbles” on the […]
