WOW. This course looks amazing. Gary Young dipped down to Australia earlier this year to partake in this awesomeness. As an added bonus, he even took home the win for best wallride! Congrats, Mate!
Jim Cielencki bike check & update
Jim C has a pretty sweet bike check and photo gallery up over at ESPN. In it, he talks about his 24″ Model C and what it’s like riding it and switch back and forth between the 20″.
I know you ride your Sunday cruiser more than a regular 20″ bike nowadays. Is there a specific reason for this? To be honest, I go back and forth between the 20″ and 24″ throughout the year. I run a BMX bike company, so I should have experience in both bikes. Before I started riding this bike in October, I rode my 20″ for a whole year straight. For me, it’s difficult to switch between the two just because the 24″ makes the 20″ feel small. The main reason why I ride the 24″ is that I like the idea of taking something you already know how to do and making it different. It’s like riding bigger stair sets or steeper rails, you want the challenge of taking something you already know and making it different or more difficult.

New 3/8 Axle Conversion Kit
We now have a dialed 3/8’s conversion kit available for our cassette hubs, which comes with everything you see above.
This axle conversion kit will allow you to modify our standard V3 Cassette hub into an inbound 3/8’s axle with G-Sport Bolts. Rather than just sawing the ends off of our normal 14mm axle and drilling and tapping the ends, we re-designed the whole thing to use threadless slide on collars so that we could maximize the thickness and strength of the axle. The end result is an axle that is just as strong as the normal 14mm axle but has the clean flush mounting of a female design. The bolts are 3/8″-24 TPI with a 17mm hex head and a 6mm allen key broach just like you get on a Marmoset or Vandero 2 hub. If you don’t have 3/8″ dropouts, we’ve included spacer ring adapters for 14mm frames. This design will handle pegs just as well as the normal 14mm cassette axle.
You can find these at better bike shops, mail orders or on our online store.
