Fluorescent Yellow Rim Strips*. Not the most exciting part, but an important one. Ours are durable, cheap, and the extra-wide size covers all holes and any nicks or burrs that could come in contact with the tube. I am always looking for rim strips around here, but we are always sold out. Doesn’t really matter what color they are, but we try to pay attention to the details. These will be available in 2 weeks also.

*wheel not included

We’ve been busy round here, hence the lack of updates. This one should be worth it though.

We got a shipment in with a bunch of sweet stuff.

One set of new items is the Seafoam Green Limited line:
Civilian Svelte hi/lo bars
Classic Race/Dirt forks
and the first of the powdercoated “brakeless” rims.

We have to check it all out and ship it, so expect to see it in stores in about 2 weeks.

The new issue of SHOOK has arrived and will be shipping out over the next few days. This issue is titled “BRAINSTORMED”, and features (among a lot of other stuff) an East, South and West coast montages with the following riders (to name a few):

West coast

Skyler Ellingson
Kostia Snitman
E-Man
Anthony Flores
Chris Brown
Johnathon Guidino

East coast

Tony Neyer
Eli Platt
Phil Jones
Zack Rodgers
Lino Gonzales

South

Matt Gannon
Duke Dustman
Alex Gonzales

I know it’s a tired statement when it comes to Shook video’s, but each issue is better than the last.

Who else can make a P.O.S. dept. store complete bike do this?

Bar ends should be simple and light. They need to protect your bars from crashes, but they also need to protect you from your bars. With this in mind we have designed our new Par Ends. A super tough, virtually solid, park friendly, plastic bar end. They’re less than an ounce per pair (0.8oz/23g) and will be offered at a very affordable price.

Formed as a single part, Par Ends fit both inside and outside your bars for a solid location. They simply expand outwards to lock into the inside of your bars without leaving any sharp edges exposed.

Par Ends are scheduled to be in shops by early 2007.

DBZ sent us this in the mail the other day.

The contents consisted of T-shirts, a VHS tape from 1995 and a few other items that were all highly appreciated by everyone here.

THANKS!
