One of the hardest working dudes in the scene Chris Alzona is now on the flow team for Resist and Volume! Chris, your hard work has not gone unnoticed and I’m personally super stoked to see him come up on this partnership. Trick Track split edit soon?
Demolition just unveiled their brand new 26″ rim, the Zero rim! Demolition makes some of the best 20″ BMX rims so I can only expect the same quality coming from their bigger counterpart. This is great news for us as our 26″ quality rim options start to dwindle down. Here’s what Demoltion has to say about these:
“Our Zero rim has been around over a decade due to it’s strength and lightweight construction. It is now available in 26″ with a double-wall design, 2 vertical ribs and welded seam for more rigidity!
At $80-$110 per rim, this is an expensive but quality option for serious tricks. Remember though, you get what you pay for. Check them out here!
Sad news for the scene, but the Master store is shutting it’s hypothetical doors on Setember 4th for an indefinite amount of time. This isn’t forever as Master says they still plan on launching a Courttek V2 and other parts, but for the time being you will not be able to buy any more Master parts, so I highly suggest you stock up now and buy some stuff.
In today’s episode I linked up in person with Zach “ZLOG” Hoffner, a very important figurehead in the early + mid Seattle Fixed Gear scene and a player in the popularization of Fixed Gear as a whole. We dig into Fast Friday, The Revival, ZLOG Blog, and much more. Thanks for coming on the show Zach!
Since the new Ruff frames came out, Pizza has said goodbye to his iconic blue Ruff sample build. Here’s one last gallery and sendoff to commemorate it 🫡
New Pizza build pics soon!
BREAKING NEWS. The extremely highly anticipated Ruff Glimmer framesets are officially LIVE! I can confidently say that these are some of the highest quality frames I’ve had the pleasure of riding and both looks wise and geometry wise, you will not be disappointed.
With each frameset you get an option of either a black or chrome fork and the frames are available in 3 colorways: Dark Black (decals by Matt Spencer), Really Raw (decals by Corey San Agustin), and Gang Green (decals by Jackson Bradshaw). The decals on each colorway came out so great and if I wanted to buy one, I would personally have a very hard time choosing one.
Here’s what Ruff has to say about the Glimmer frames along with specs:
“You know when you have that ride: an epic adventure exploring a new city, a heavy session with a big crew, or maybe just a solo cruise in the neighborhood hitting curb cuts and your go-to spots? It’s the ride that completely consumes you and is both energizing and freeing. Maybe it disrupts something that you’re doing or thinking that isn’t settling, offers you an opportunity to catch up with someone you haven’t seen in a bit, prompts you take a different route and come across something new, or maybe just gives you some space to be in your head with your own thoughts and recharge.
All of these moments are essential parts of what draw us to pick up our bikes and keep pedaling. To us, a Glimmer is that moment when you recognize that you are present, focused, when the volume of everything else around you is silenced, and all that you are doing is riding your bike.
When you’re fully in it, that’s a Glimmer.
The frame and fork geometry was test ridden for three years and refined by Matt Spencer, Jackson Bradshaw, Chase Davis, Johnathan Ball, Chase Henley, and Jacob Ruff. We are really stoked to be able to share this bike! Both frame and fork are proudly made in Taiwan.”

Along with the frame drop, Ruff also unveiled a beautiful new website and new T shirts!
Lots to check out on there, so i suggest poking around the new site and checking out some rider and product pages. Keep that Glimmer going and check out all of the above at Ruffbike.co!
Resist just dropped their two recent forks in a black colorway! Buying the 26″ version gets you a free pair of pegs too. At $169, that’s not a bad deal at all. Cop the 700c version here and the 26″ version here!
3 years ago I posted up a bike check of my lovely red LD Labs track bike. Just took some new pics of it with some minor changes including some better looking bars and an Aerospoke. Can’t tell which front wheel I like better, but the Aerospoke is certainly less stressful to ride with.
VERY RARE. If you haven’t noticed, Master product never goes on sale. So what is this? Is the financial ruin of the country upon us? Luckily not (for now), but Master is moving headquarters from Seattle to LA and Kareem doesn’t wanna lug all the frames here. So frames, forks, and bars are all 20% off. Take advantage while you can!
