SHIPMENT: Matte Kelly Green Kit

Francis — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 18:11:47 +0000

Our latest color kit is Matte Kelly Green and it’s AVAILABLE NOW! Contact your local shops and mail-orders to load up on ‘em.

SHIPMENT: New Hazard Lite Wheel Colors

Francis — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:43:58 +0000

We have a few new colors to add to our fleet of Hazard Lite wheels (Hazard Lite rims laced onto V3 Cassette & Vandero 2 hubs). These guys are available now in Hard Anodized Blue, Hard Anodized Red and Ocean Blue. Hit up your local shops and favorite mail-orders to upgrade!

The V3 Cassette (rear wheel) comes stock with a 14mm axle and the Vandero 2 (front wheel) comes with 3/8″ inbound female axles. If you want to run 3/8″ in the back, you can get our 3/8″ Conversion kit.

New 3/8 Axle Conversion Kit

Nuno — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 20:58:20 +0000

We now have a dialed 3/8′s conversion kit available for our cassette hubs, which comes with everything you see above.

This axle conversion kit will allow you to modify our standard V3 Cassette hub into an inbound 3/8′s axle with G-Sport Bolts. Rather than just sawing the ends off of our normal 14mm axle and drilling and tapping the ends, we re-designed the whole thing to use threadless slide on collars so that we could maximize the thickness and strength of the axle. The end result is an axle that is just as strong as the normal 14mm axle but has the clean flush mounting of a female design. The bolts are 3/8″-24 TPI with a 17mm hex head and a 6mm allen key broach just like you get on a Marmoset or Vandero 2 hub. If you don’t have 3/8″ dropouts, we’ve included spacer ring adapters for 14mm frames. This design will handle pegs just as well as the normal 14mm cassette axle.

You can find these at better bike shops, mail orders or on our online store.

KC Badger’s Bike!

Francis — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:01:07 +0000

The laziest pro in BMX sent us a bike check recently and it’s looking pretty dope. Hit up the flipbook above to check out his ride and read more for a little Q&A about his bike, what he’s been up to lately and how it feels to be on the cover of the latest Dig!

Oh and follow him on Twitter if you haven’t done so already!

Is there anything you’re very particular about as far as setup goes?
Naw, not really. I like my frame, The Lost Dutchman, to be a pretty stock frame as far as geometry and lengths are concerned. Normal standover height, it’s not a razor scooter bike. 13.75″ rear end, not loop out short, not limo long, right in the middle. Head-tube angle is 74.5 so you can still haul ass and not get loose.

Do you do any special mods to your bike or is it fairly stock?
I was lucky enough enough to get to design my frame and bars exactly how I like them. When I put a new one together, I dont have to do any sort of suping up. It comes perfect to me, but doesn’t mean that you can’t supe it up if you need to.

How do you feel about being the cover boy in the new Dig photo issue?
I think it’s pretty awesome. I mean the photo is ironic in so many ways. One being the running joke of laziest pro in bmx and I get a cover sitting down on my bike. Two being “the dicks” sign because Pat, Kyle and hopefully myself are probably 3 of the least jerks in bmx. But I feel honored to grace the cover of that magazine, especially a non riding photo. (That’s an elite cast! Enns, Bestwick, etc. It’s a priveledge being on that list!) And lastly, it’s always a treat to get to hang out w/Sandy Carson, who shot the photo. Just riding and laughing w/him that whole day was amazing. The cover coming from that is just icing on the cake! Thanks guys!

Where are you at these days and what have you been up to?
I’m back in Tempe, AZ. I lasted about 6 months in Seattle and although I loved it there, AZ is and will always be my home. It has everything I need; good concrete, some trails, good street if i get a wild hair up my ass, endless ditches, pools, but most importantly, good friends and family. Lately I’ve just been riding, drawing a bit, hanging out w/the crew here and working a few jobs. I’m saving money to kidnap my girlfriend from Seattle and move her back to AZ with me.

Jimmy Levan Bike Check

Francis — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 17:51:10 +0000

In case you were wondering what Jimmy’s riding these days, here a flipbook for you to look through! It’s an all metal bike for the guy who runs Metal Bikes. Read more for a brief Q&A about his setup and a few extra photos.

Also, keep checking back ’cause there’ll be a new video of Jimmy popping up soon!

While a lot of kids these days are going out and trying on the tallest, largest bars, you actually trim yours down. What’s the width on your bars and have they gotten wider at all throughout the years or are they still partying like it’s 1999?
My bars are cut down about an inch on each side. So yeah, they are narrow for the N.W. However, I must admit, they are wider than they were when I moved here 5 years ago.

Aside from trimming the bars, are there any other things about your setup that you’re particular about?
Just that it’s running solid. I’ve been riding too long to have a slapping chain or loose… anything running shitty.

You’re known to have done some of the biggest gaps in BMX. When it comes to jumping long distances and dropping from great heights, is there a specific geometry you’ve grown to prefer?
I’ve always been a 74% or 74.5% head tube guy. My rear end is 13.75″ and works great. I think landing those gaps you mentioned is just knowing the balance of your rig. You have to know when to drop your back wheel to land, as well as a steady trust on your frame and parts knowing that nothing is going to explode.
