Alongside the FGFS and Trick Track events that Balance is throwing this coming June is a Fixed specific photography competition! As a collab with Slow Spin, Balance is giving out prizes for the most special photo entries relating to Fixed Gear bikes. Entries are unlimited and submitted on Instagram.
Here are the full details for the competition:
In Collaboration with @slowspinsociety we are looking for the best creatives in the fixed gear world! Starting now until the 7th June, you have 8 weeks to capture a special moment with a fixed gear bike!
It can be yourself via a selfie, of your friend, a stranger, riding, jibbing, sitting at a cafe..
The only rule is a fixed gear bike must be featured in the photo.
The winners will receive clothing vouchers, a goodie bag with accessories and will be featured in a magazine.
This is open to Digital & Film (they will be prizes for both categories)
You can enter as many times as you like! To enter upload your picture(s) to Instagram and use the hashtag #StokedSSSPhotoComp25 or via our DM’s, include the message StokedSSSPhotoComp25 with your picture(s).
The panel of judges will showcase the short list pre-STOKED event and the winners will be announced on day one of the event (14th June). (Don’t worry if you won’t be in attendance on the 14th/15th, your entry is still valid – open to WorldWide entries)
One of the most influential riders of all time, Tom La Marche, after being away from track bikes for 10+ years, has re-emerged riding a track bike for the latest Sim Works photoshoot advertising their new stem. For those who know, this is massive news! He’s riding his own frameset via Lamarche Bike Co. of course! I wonder if we’ll be seeing more riding from him 🧐
UK + EURO SCENE STAND UP!! Balance Cycling store just announced a new competition called Stoked, a 2-day FGFS and Trick Track comp taking place in London on June 14th and 15th.
The flyer boasts a group ride, mini games, cash and clothing prizes, and lots more. Seems like a fun time. Maybe I’ll have to make it out for this 👀

The time has come! If you’re looking to build yourself a fixed gear trick bike, you’ve come to the right place.
The long awaited tri-annual buyer’s guide has emerged. In this article, we’re going to break down your buying options as of now for FGFS and Trick Track products. Availability will vary depending on when you’re looking at this article, but we’ll do our best to foreshadow the market. Let’s dive in!
The Master shop has reopened! Since the reopen is temporary, now is the time to stock up on any parts you’ve been trying to get your hands on plus some new goodies.
For new products we’ve got a new hubset color in gun metal! This color is only available in a 3/8th axle. Loving the way it looks.
Next, you heard that right, I said HUBSET. That means Master 64 front hubs are now being offered, so you can finally perfectly match your rear Master 64 hub in black or silver! These hubs work with nearly all forks, so you don’t have to worry about axle size or anything.
Lastly everything else is restocked including frames, forks, black and silver hubs, axles, and everything in between. Store won’t be open permanently, so grab everything while you can on the Master store here!
