The 12 and 13 tooth one piece drivers are in, and are now available on our online store.

If you run a 36/13 gear ratio and cant go any lower due to the brakes being mounted on the chainstays, do yourself a favor and get a one piece driver. it’s the perfect upgrade, no lockrings to deal with and it is a bit lighter too. Check em out!!

These are the most advanced developments to a BMX rim in a long time.

The Hazard Lite Duralectra rim uses the proprietary Sanford Process Hard Anodizing to create a finish like no other rim today. Until now, Chrome plating was the hardest, most durable finish to be applied to a rim. Duralectra’s Sandford Process has higher wear rating than chrome or regular hard anodizing. In addtion, you can have similar braking power to chrome, but with a black finish. Finished in Massachusets, USA at Duralectra. www.duralectra.com.
sugg retail: $85-90 per rim

The Seven K rim is the first BMX rim to use 7005 series Aluminum. Like any other Aluminum applications, 7000 series is superior to 6000 series in strength, so the product can be scaled down and lightened up without sacraficing durability. The Seven K rim is wider and lighter than the already proven hazard lite, while being stronger than other double wall rims. Seven K is available in Chrome and Hard anodize. While not Duralectra, this process is a huge improvement to the standard anodized black rim.
sugg retail: $66-70 per rim

Jim C. called in and informed us that Gary Young won pro at the Backyard jam in England. Cielencki himself got 5th, and Scott Foster got 10th. Not bad!!

According to “Seventies”, Gary Young destroyed the course.

Speaking of Jim Cielencki, people dont beleive us when we say the limited edition pedals are limited edition. 300 of each color and thats it. People/shops keep calling to find out if we will be making more of either color, and the answer is no (sorry). When we say limited edition, we mean it.

There are still a few magnesium looseball pink JC’s left on our store.

This month I want to discuss something a little different. BMX has been around for about 30 years now and so have I. In that time riders have come and gone as you would expect but there are a surprising number who came and never went.

The new Evolver brakes are in. They are shipping to distributors right now. Now available in Dark Red and Blue(matching jcpedal and gtx-r).
In addition to the colors, the spring cap bolts have been changed from a 4mm to a 5mm, reducing the amount of tools you need to carry around and less likely to strip.
They are NOT available in mismatched arm colors, that is just so I could show both colors.

Be on the lookout for the upcoming RIDE UK magazine. Rich Hirsch has scored the cover and has an interview in there as well. Also, our very own Jim Bauer has interview in there too.

Path tires, linear cables and colored hubs of all sorts have started shipping out today. Start harrasing your local shop!!!!!!
