Chase Hawk’s wheels
Aaron Ross’s wheels
First color. Pistachio.
I was trying to keep this under wraps for a second, but I guess its too late.
We are doing some limited edition powdercoated rims. The colors will come out one at a time (like the pedals, cables, seats, anything we do that is limilted edition) and are for use on wheels that DON’T USE BRAKE PADS. They are powdercoated, so brakes would wear them prematurely. Chase wanted the purple ones, and Aaron had asked about flourescent yellow rims a while ago.
Now, Chase is brakeless, but Aaron is not. I wanted to see how long the powdercoat will last anyway. First color will be……Pistachio/Mint. They are roughly a month and a half away. Word.
Sorry for the lack of updates, but here is some new product info.
The next METALLIC LIME limited edition Jim Cielencki pedal will be available soon at your local shop, so look out for those.
For those who have, or will be writing me about the Odyssey rims mentioned in the EMPIREBMX news, we will have official news soon.
Jim B is up in Portland for the dew tour, and some of our guys will be leaving for a Lotek trip after the contest.
That’s all i got, have a good weekend.
After Gary made fun of this camera man for wearing a protective vest, he said that he wears it because he got hit last year, by Gary. Awesome.
Just getting a sun burn.
Walking up to the crazy roll in.
If it wasn’t for the camera, I wouldn’t know which one was Jeff Z.
Danny got his new Hckerson/Moody frame and everything got a paintjob. I haven’t seen a Matte Black bike that looked so good in a while. Black is the new Black.
