MASTER HUBS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
We’ve all been feeling the struggle of the hubless FGFS industry. It’s no secret that we’ve been needing a hub in FGFS for a while. No company has made a hub in about two years (since Bombtrack) and the market has been relying on old hubs so people can keep riding. Master promised to make a hub some time this year, and the time has finally come. They’re now taking pre-orders for their new “64” hubs and will be sending them out come August. They come with a free hub guard, come in 9t and 10t, AND they will be selling spare axles! Master truly coming in clutch. Support these guys, cause they’re saving the scene. PRE ORDER HERE
Ruff Sleeper Prototype Build
I recently built up a 26″ Ruff Sleeper prototype and took some pics a while ago but accidentally deleted them, so I took bae out for a date at Newport Pier and retook some pictures (which actually turned out better than the previous ones). This is the most hyped I’ve ever been on a bike, just look at this thing of beauty (them welds though). Look out for production frames coming sooner than later, more photos after the jump!

WHATS UP FGFS WORLD we got a big announcement today that we’re now distributing LDG FGFS products not previously available to the public! While the 700c Hammer has been available for a while now, what most people aren’t aware of is that they made new forks, bars, and sprockets that they never announced or put on their website, so now we’re making that available to you guys! I’m currently running the Hammer frame and fork and I can genuinely say I’ve been really dialed on my bike lately cause of it (bike check coming soon). Frames come in black and army green while the rest of the products come in black. Only distributing in the US (besides sprockets). HIT THAT WEBSTORE TO COP

Remembering Aaron Keokham
We heard tragic news this week that our friend Aaron Keokham has passed away this week via instagram. Aaron was a driving force in the FGFS scene, having passion for these bikes that most people will never know. Although I never met him personally, I’ve talked to him enough online to know he was a really great dude. He even hit me up sending me stickers once for his brand Ride or Dye without me even asking. The FGFS community is small, so something like this touched us all in a very personal way, even effecting those that never had the pleasure to meet him. The family asks for privacy and asks for nobody to ask about how it happened. Aaron was a UC Davis graduate and a passionate photographer and fixed gear rider. Ride in peace Aaron, the world won’t be the same without you.
Introducing | FGFS SWAPMEET
We did a thing. This is FGFS Swapmeet. It’s an online shop to get used FGFS parts from a reliable source, just as you were buying from a retailer. We’ll be constantly swapping out parts as they’re sold and maybe having some rare hard-to-find stuff on there. You can link to it HERE, we’ve already put some stuff onto it.
