Monolevers

-These are NOT available yet. These are PROTOTYPES. We will tell you when they are coming out, when we know.

- Three lever handle shapes options will be available. The handle shapes are small (as shown in Transworld(TOP)), medium (MIDDLE) and trigger (identical to the original trigger lever shape(LOWER)). They all use the same 7/8, front clamping, slim bracket.

- The pivot and clamp hardware is identical and replaceable to address the possible long-term thread stripping issues that can happen with most levers.

- single cable only(hence the name MONOlever)

- A dual cable (modulever) version that uses the same lever shapes will be available at a later date.

Four is the magic number

This weekend, at the Vans triple crown, Mike Aitken and Gary Young got fourth place in Dirt and Street, respectively. I heard their runs were awesome, and everyone in Salt Lake had a good time.

Congrats to them, even though I bet they were more fun to watch then 1st-3rd. But I wasn't even there, so who am I to talk, or to bet...I was in Atlantic City avoiding "tonys" and loosing money. Craps doesn't have as good odds as they say. I just continued to say "crap". Maybe I should have bet on 4 on the the roulette table.

totally random post

We got a bunch of samples today. They are looking good. So far everything we got is correct. Which only means that the odds that they go into full production soon, are very good.

We will show some of them at the SubDivision BMX trade show in Binghamton, NY, May 27th-29th.
After the show Nuno and I will be going on a trails mission, so if anyone has any good spots in Long Island, don't hesitate to tell us.

There is a contest in Arizona this weekend. You should go.

Matt Beringer was riding with the T-1 guys last week in Utah.

Ever heard of Critical Mass? Its the last friday of every month, and its a ride to promote bicycle riding and awareness. While its mostly road riders, I went to the local CM meeting spot last week and ended up meeting 3 BMXers that live in my neighborhood. Its a fun time riding in the streets usually dominated by cars. I found a ton of street spots I probably never would have seen otherwise. promote the idea of "one less car" or as FBM would put it "Blow up your car, ride a bike".
