We showed you guys a sneak peek of our Lincoln Stem last week and now you can get the full scoop on it over at ESPN. Eric Lichtenberger, Gary Young and Aaron Ross have all been running the Lincoln to keep their bars from moving, so you know it’s good!
Kurt over at The Union stopped by and snapped a handful of product pics over at Interbike. Make sure to click over there to check it out.
Here’s a quick video by Ride BMX from Interbike 2011 with Jim Bauer talking about all the new goods we have going on!
Here is some of the new stuff you will be psyched on. More detailed videos soon. Take that.
New shirts, available now.
Gary Young in the Retro Tee.
Sean Sexton in the Wrenches Tee.
George Boyd in the 85 Jersey.
Justin Simpson in the Round and Round tee.
Gary, Sean, George and Justin are all wearing our new shirts, which are available now through better bike shops, mailorders or our online store. USA dealers contact Full Factory Distribution. International dealers contact the Odyssey distro in your market.
Our JC PC Pedals are now available in Matte Kelly Green and Pomegranate. Contact your local bike shops and favorite mail-orders to get a pair.
Our Convertible seatpost and corresponding guts are now available as separate parts, should you only need one or the other. The post serves as a basic pivotal post (but with our unique offset design), and the separate guts will allow you to run railed seats on any frame with a built-in pivotal mount or any Pivotal post in general. We got you covered. Black only.
If you feel you may switch your setup often, we still offer the original Convertible kit.
Here is the first detailed look at Chase Hawk’s upcoming signature stem, the Tomahawk.
53mm reach
6061-T6 custom forged aluminum
Internal clamping system
9.5mm rise or 22.5mm flipped
8.9 ounces
Black, Raw, Limited
Our goal with the Tomahawk was to develop a new front load stem that used a modified version of the steerer tube clamping system found in the Elementary Stem. This approach would eliminate sharp bolts and edges at the back, keep the weight down, and still allow riders to tighten and loosen the bars and steerer tube independently from one another. The Tomahawk wedge system is captured in the body, allowing riders to remove it only when maintenance is necessary. The steerer tube is clamped by tightening one 6mm hex key bolt on the side of the stem.
We also set out specifically to design the stem around its own unique forging blanks for both the cap and body. Forging maximizes the strength of the material, and helps keep the manufacturing costs down. Machining the same shape from a block of aluminum would be weaker, it would be wasteful of material, and the retail price would be unreasonable. The unique nature of the stem’s tomahawk-inspired front load body shape allows it to look “normal” whether it is installed traditionally or upside-down to raise the bars.
The end result is a strong, lightweight, front load stem with a series of unique features and the aesthetics that Chase asked us for.
