ISMAEL LEBRECH FOR RUFF BIKE CO

Late to posting this update cause I’ve had bad internet for the last two weeks, but Ruff Bike Co. has officially introduced its first international rider, Ismael Lebrech! I’ve known that Ismael is a great rider for a while now, but after getting the pleasure to see him ride in person, I can say that his dedication, passion, and intricate mind that he applies to our sport is nothing short of inspiring. I can’t imagine someone more deserving of support than this guy. Welcome to the team Ismael!

Demolition Zero 26″ Rim Now Available

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!

  • 36-Hole
  • Double-walled
  • Welded seam to stay secure and durable
  • Rim Depth: 12mm
  • Width: 31mm
  • ERD: 539
  • Weight: 24.7 oz / 700 grams (Black) 
  • Weight: 25.4 oz / 720 grams (Chrome)”

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!

Master Store Closing Indefinitely

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.
