Tracko Loid BTCHN’ Bar Pre Order

I’ve been hearing whispers of Tracko reviving the Congoloid bar but wasn’t sure when it would actually come to fruition!! Sure enough he made it happen through BTCHN’ bikes, a California made bike company.

The bars are up to spec to match the world famous Congoloid handlebars, the only difference being where the bend actually starts on the bar and them likely being way stronger. The bars are pricey at $170, but remember that you get what you pay for. Here’s what Tracko had to say about the bars:

“Many months ago, someone asked me if I was holding any Resist Congoloid Bars. I thought to myself, I don’t, but I bet I can get them made. I first hit JBall up to see if he had the specs on the originals, and of course he did. Then I hit Tyler at BTCHN’ Bikes up to see if he’d bend them up for us, and he was totally down!

Introducing the Loid BTCHN’ Handlebar!!!

Made in CALIFORNIA by BTCHN’ Bikes!!!

*Clamp: 22.2
*Rise: 3.5″
*Width: 28″
*Backsweep: 9º
*Up Sweep: 2º
* Width 800(Can be cut to any length you desire)

**This is a PRESALE for these bars. They will be up for 1 week starting today. Then I will deliver the number sold to BTCHN’ Bikes, and we’ll be looking at 3 weeks till we can ship! A lot shorter period of time than checking eBay for Congoloid Bars until one pair pops up and everyone is fighting over them.”

MASTER SHOP REOPEN + NEW 64 HUB COLOR + FRONT HUBS

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!

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.
