Where's the Director Fork?

Posted by: Timbo Johnson at October 23, 2006 11:45 AM

why he didn't run anymore the director fork?

Posted by: ju at October 23, 2006 11:49 AM

The Prototype Director didnt take the Pleg with out modification, so he opted to run the reg forks until he had time to modify the Pleg.

Yes, the Director will work With the Plegs, it was just a simple deviation from our drawing that made it hard to use the pegs.

Are they any special?

Posted by: idnA at October 23, 2006 12:37 PM

Posted by: pres at October 23, 2006 01:39 PM

Posted by: Brad at October 23, 2006 02:06 PM

Yellow much? I can barely look at at. I'm sure its a nice lookin biek when you got a pair of shades on. Otther than the facty that it looks like the sun... good shit.

Posted by: dan at October 23, 2006 02:10 PM

im sick of this retro bullshit trend. and all trends really. cant you people think for yourselves? AHHH! Mr. kimbrough says; dont support trends support BMX. sheep says; baAaAaAa

Posted by: ben at October 23, 2006 02:39 PM

Scared of some colors? So is all black "original" and not a "trend" from some point. I doubt that. A "normal" set up is the sheepiest of all. Who is Aaron following? He must be following all those other guys doing double tire to whip down rails.

Posted by: Jim B at October 23, 2006 02:46 PM

nice bike,whats with the guy who has no grammar?

Posted by: brendan at October 23, 2006 05:07 PM

Posted by: Taylor at October 23, 2006 08:12 PM

Yeah man, Tom Blyth Has a colorless "Black" setup and he blow's Ross away! The bikes does'nt matter it's the rider and how far he's willing to go!

Posted by: stlnbkr at October 23, 2006 08:45 PM

Posted by: j at October 23, 2006 09:51 PM

Posted by: bear420 at October 23, 2006 11:00 PM

" Mr. kimbrough says; dont support trends support bmx"...you didnt happen to steal that quote from the sunday site did you?

Posted by: Seth M at October 24, 2006 06:57 AM

So black/normal stuff is sheepy? Id bet theres a few people who woul agree that black/normal is humble and modest. a year ago all black bikes were trendy, but of course it has taken its course and has fallen off to a neutral status. At any rate id say to let your riding do the talking not your ride. Afraid of colors? my last bike was mostly bright green with baby blue and some black on the etceteras. And when did i imply his riding wasnt original/great? Im not saying hes following anyone in particular but the retro thing has been going on on the left coast for at least a year now.

Posted by: ben at October 24, 2006 07:51 AM

Very right.

Just have fun everyone.

Posted by: Jim B at October 24, 2006 09:34 AM

Posted by: clint at October 24, 2006 12:03 PM

mmm, nice shot of the pegs

Posted by: hey now you're an allstar at October 24, 2006 02:28 PM

can we get some pics on the bar ends

Posted by: belnapp at October 24, 2006 05:13 PM

When will the classic race forks be availible in white?

Posted by: belnapp at October 24, 2006 06:24 PM

Blue in one pic yellow in the other. It's actually the same rim. It's the new limited edition hazard pearlescent series, duh. Haha...how many people are gonna believe me........

Posted by: coopa at October 24, 2006 08:25 PM

i got a 2.1 path and it seems really narrow... as narrow if not more narrow than my 1.95 animal tire. are they all that small or could it just be that paticular tire? i dont want to sound picky i was just wondering. thanks

oh and where can we buy those spokes at?

Posted by: justin at October 24, 2006 09:11 PM

Aaron has both the Neon Yellow set and the Metallic Blue set of powdercoated hazard lite rims. I guess he switched between photo shoots.

I will post a closer pic of the bar ends we have here.

Classic forks will be available in white with our next shipment (I think)

Your Animal tire was old and stretched out as all tires get. Your Path is new and not stretched yet. The Animal is single wall, so it stretches faster and probably further away from its original shape. The Path is Dual ply, so it will hold its original size a little longer. Run more pressure if you want to stretch it faster. In addition to this...All tires are different, the tread pattern, design, casing, and manufacturer. This and depending on where you are measuring to come up with your official size is all a factor.

Posted by: Jim B at October 25, 2006 09:58 AM

i sure hope they'll be here in the next shipment. i need some for christmas

Posted by: belnapp at October 25, 2006 05:33 PM

Posted by: ALLEN at October 25, 2006 06:51 PM

Posted by: RUBEN at October 25, 2006 09:40 PM

So FBM's Pivotal Seat is Just like the Primo One Which is Just Like The Macneil Capitol?
Posted by Jon at October 23, 2006 10:33 AM

Yea cause.. it says Macneil right on the side.

I'm down with the colors. I started riding in 1999 so All I've ever known is black bikes and parts. I don't know how you can go wrong with all this color, Now every ones bikes can really look differnt... or maybe they will just look like rainbows.. I wan't some Orange rims though.

Posted by: Carson at October 26, 2006 12:18 AM

when are the yellow and purple powdercoated hl rims coming out?

Posted by: zach at October 26, 2006 05:48 AM

Carson, if you look at almost every single team running pivotal seats most of them are using macneil posts, Animals pivotal seat on edwins bike blatantly says Animal but his post says macneil. See why i thought/think its an FBM capitol seat ? no different from the macneil capitol.

Posted by: Jon at October 26, 2006 09:10 AM

The Forks will NOT be available in White, sorry. They will be black and Limited color runs. First run will be Seafoam green to match the Powdercoated Hazard rims.

The Seafoam Rims, Seafoam Classic Forks, Seafoam Civilian Svelte hi/lo will be available the second week in November. Same kits, but in Purple, will be available in December. January should have whatever the next color is.

Posted by: Jim B at October 26, 2006 01:24 PM

will any race type forks be available in white from you guys?

Posted by: belnapp at October 26, 2006 05:45 PM

wait so race fork classics will not come in any other color other then black and ltd?

Posted by: RUBEN at October 26, 2006 09:04 PM
