NEW ARRIVALS...

Some more new 2007 product has arrived.

DESERT CAMO B.E.T.A. BAG
New colorway of the popular B.E.T.A. bag.

MILLION DOLLAR SPROCKET & SEPERATE GUARD (25T, 28T 30T)
This sprocket is for those of you who have custom made double-guarded sprockets (out of 2 sprockets). The guard sprocket protects your chain, and the seperate attachable guard fully encloses it.

P-LYTE DIRT PATH AND PATH TIRES
These are a lighter version of our Path and Dirt Path tires. P-Lyte is a proprietary process for sidewall construction, which produces a lightweight tire with the durability of the dual ply models.

These products just arrived, so they will be available within 2-3 weeks depending on where you live. Contact your local shop or mailorder for more info.

WEIGHT SAVINGS

Dirt Path 1.85 P-Lyte: 3.5 oz. (99.2g) lighter than the original
Dirt Path 2.20 P-Lyte: 2.8 oz. (79.4g) lighter than the original

Path P-Lyte 1.85: 3.2 oz. (90.7g) lighter than the original
Path P-Lyte 2.10: 2.6 oz. (73.7g) lighter than the original

With a Path P-Lyte 1.85 in back and a Path P-Lyte 2.10 in front, you'll have a total weight savings of 5.8 oz. (164.4g) over the original tires before "rotational weight" is considered. Please note that there will only be a slight price increase to compensate for this new casing process.

what's the suggested retailing price on the MDS? will the other guard be sold seperately? how much? thanks!

Posted by: andy at December 13, 2006 03:43 PM

the guard sprocket will be around $46, and the seperate guard (sold seperately) will be around $30.

Posted by: Vesa at December 13, 2006 04:50 PM

yea whats going on whith the sunday peddels

Posted by: strysyrsyuh at December 13, 2006 05:29 PM

so did you guys fix the problem with the beta bag needing something in the lower compartment or it saggin REALLY REALLY BAD?

Posted by: fabianV at December 13, 2006 08:13 PM

yeah man, that shit with the bag is anoying.
are the new ones any different?
and how did you not realise that with the prototypes?

Posted by: tucker at December 14, 2006 05:37 AM

I have always thought they should just move the straps so the anchor above the bottom compartment.

30 dollars for a guard seems outrageous. I was real hyped about the MDS but I don't want to be paying 75+ dollars for it.

I can't post my actual comment. That's no good. I just want to know if you are going to be making a 2.2 or lrger tire.

Posted by: Carlsbadmike at December 14, 2006 01:57 PM

proprietary process huh? ahaha,
sounds like you guys were a little late jumpin on the kevlar train to me.
id like to see a 2.3-2.35... i heart ridiculously huge front tires an sometimes rears if the dirts really soft.

Posted by: ben at December 14, 2006 02:18 PM

30 bucks for the guard?! Sweet jebus! So are you guys going to post any recent bike checks cause jimmy le van's got me wanting some more. Maybe Matt B???

Posted by: belnapp at December 14, 2006 07:39 PM

How much do the plyte tyres weigh compared to the normal ones?

Posted by: tom at December 14, 2006 08:39 PM

Yeah yeah yeah!! my beta does the EXACT same thing. ive had a pair of old shoes in that part for the past year wich solves it but the kind of defeats the purpose of that pocket...the new colour for the bag was in my local shops ody catalogue and apparently it wasnt buyable when i read it a month ago. doe this mean its availible now?

Posted by: Ben at December 15, 2006 03:01 AM

are u serious? the sprocket and the second gaurd are being sold seperate? thats ridiculous. I agree with ERIK, i was gonna order that as soon as u guys had it ready but now im not so sure...

Posted by: dan at December 15, 2006 03:49 AM

Make 8.25" rise civilian bars!!!

Posted by: cm08 at December 15, 2006 06:19 AM

oh yeah, are those tires going to be the same sizes as the originals?

"proprietary process huh? ahaha,

-If it was kevlar we would call it kevlar. its not.
-2.3+ would not fit in a fork. Or frame for that matter.
-We do have a larger size tire in the works.

Not everybody wants the full coverage on BOTH sides of the chain, so you can get the sprocket with one side permanantly attached. The extra coverage is optional. Think it costs too much? It is more machining and work than two sprockets. Some people aren't happy unless its free. It is called the Million Dollar sprocket...

Current Plyte tires come in the same sizes.(exept that new one we are working on)

We do make 8.25 Lumberjacks bars

i think i´m the third to ask but as there hasnt been a responce yet: whats the weight of the tires?

Posted by: alex at December 15, 2006 09:54 AM

yo jim is this proprietary process going to remain secret, like the thermal process, or eventually be copied by every company that makes tires? also, you guys should think about ceramic bearings as an upgrade option. i also read that both hard and regular anodising creates stress on the material and causes cracking. if that's true how bad is that on rims?

for everyone bitching about the MDS and it's price, if you remember during the prototype stages, they said it cost a lot of money just to get samples, let alone how much time it took to get everything perfect. the price shouldn't come at a shock.

for a matt beringer bike check go to ridebmx.com and find it. It's there and it's only like a week old or so.
