It’s been a while since we last did a bike check with Chase Hawk. His bike is orange these days and loaded with our latest stuff, including his new signature sprocket! One other cool thing to note about Chase’s bike is his drive-train is manly! 180mm Twombolts, 30t C-512 sprocket and a 9t cog on his V3 Cassette. His bike is setup for speed and blasting high.

The first bike up on the list is Aaron Ross’ Orange! Safety Orange is the new colorway we have lined up. The only part we have available right now for sale is the Aaron Ross Grip but you can expect everything else to come trickling in later this year.

One other thing that’s new in this bike check is Aaron Ross’ signature tire! It keeps the keyboard theme of all his other signature parts and the thread pattern are inverted keys which spell out some fun messages from Aaron Ross and a handful from the contest we held last year (we’ll be announcing the winners soon (credit karen here)). Click around the flipbook above for more photos and a complete parts list!

SHIPMENT:
Convertible Posts

The Convertible will work with both Pivotal and railed seats, depending on which setup you choose to run. The Convertible’s design provides a traditional offset that is not found on the average Pivotal post. A lot of riders lean toward a seat position that is not achievable with a zero-offset post, so if you ever wanted to run your Pivotal seat pushed back, or forward, the Convertible will now allow you to do it.

An uncut Convertible Post, without guts, weighs approximately 4.3 ounces. Its unique forged design allows the post to be slammed without leaving the seat excessively high. If you’re not interested in the offset, the guts will obviously work with all other Pivotal posts and Pivotal compatible frames as well. Rather than simply rebrand a zero-offset Pivotal post, we wanted to provide another option for riders to pick from when looking for more flexibility with their bike set ups.

We just received a shipment of our new Convertible seat posts! They are available now in White, Black, Red, Gold and Blue. Click around the flipbook above for more pics and info, then contact your local shops and mail-orders to get one!
