The Rhode Island Sprocket
Socket Drive
Here’s the latest product to come out of Flatware line. This new flatland-specific Twombolt crank and Rhode Island sprocket are available now, so hit up your shops and mail-orders to get a set. Click around the flipbook above for pics and read below for details.
New “Socket Drive” Interface
This 9-sided sprocket interface has been designed as a new standard for sprocket fitting. It can be built into the spindle on 2-piece cranks like the Twombolt, or it can be incorporated into the arm on 3-piece cranks.
A new interface seemed to be a necessary development because sprockets have become smaller across the board. On anything less than a 25-T there starts to be a heavy concentration of stress around the drive bolt and the sprocket teeth. Switching to a closer spaced sprocket bolt is one solution, but that also increases the stress on the sprocket as the same torque applied at a closer radius results in a much larger contact force.
Jul 30, 2009 • Product Chase Gouin Bars
Chase Gouin bars are back in stock. They feature an 8″ rise and are available with or without back sweep. The whole bar is 41 Thermal processed and multi-butted throughout for highly refined strength and weight. Full specs for each are as follows:
The B.S:
» 6 degrees back sweep
» 6 degrees up sweep
» 26″ wide and 8″ rise
The No B.S:
» 0 degree back sweep
» 3 degrees up sweep
» 25″ wide and 8″ rise
In other Chase Gouin news, we recently received a package that’s filled with footage of 23 different combos he’s been working on at his local spot. There’s plenty of sick front and back wheel action so keep an eye out for an edit in the near future.

KOG Battle: Terry Adams VS. Shinichi Kiba

Aaron Ross: Defgrip Shuffle (Photo by Nuno Oliveira)
Some sweet stuff popped up on the internet and in my inbox today. First on the list is a battle between Terry Adams and Shinichi Kiba at the last KOG comp in Japan. Some of the links and hops Terry does is unreal. Though the red flag in the end indicates he lost, the 360 hop he does shortly afterwards is dialed!
Next is a video for our Beta Bag made by our Russian distributor, Toy Bike. If you’re from that part of the globe and in the market for a nice bag, give them a ring. If you’re from the US, you’re in luck ’cause it’s in the closeout section of our online store!
The Ride to Glory trip is done and you can check out pics from Day 7 and the Final Day at the Ride UK site.
And finally, hit up Defgrip to get a glimpse of what’s in Aaron Ross’ iPod.
