New Resist Parts Available Now

Resist has been dropping some serious goodies on us the last couple weeks! I’ve already posted about the 2 forks they just released, but now there are also new cranks and a new Latte colored Icon saddle available now! Here’s what Resist had to say about the cranks:

Specs:

  • 19mm 48 Spline Heat treated Spindle
  • 165mm Crank arm size
  • 4140 Heat Treated Chromoly
  • Weight: 21.2oz (Arms Only)

“Our Resist cranks have heat-treated tubular chromoly arms that include a forged spindle boss. Made with a 48 spline, 19 mm hollow chromoly spindle and flush mount spindle bolts that is flush with the arm to reduce ankle scarring.”

Includes a manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty against cracks & breaks. 

Both of these good looking items available here!

RESIST JBALL SIGNATURE “JAB” FORK OUT NOW!

Cats out of the bag! My Resist JAB 700c fork is out now. These utensils have been in the works for months now and I’m really happy with the way they turned out. I love colliding worlds, so my man Gus Molina helped out with the sweet boxing Cleto Reyes inspired decals. Chrome polish of course because chrome is king. Resist brake hole is the cherry on top. At 420 A2C and a long steer tube, these are perfect for either 700c FGFS bikes or to throw on your existing track bike to do some sweet barspins.

These are now available at the Resist webstore and bike shops that distribute Volume and Resist goods for $189. Here are the dirty details on the specs:

  • 420mm A2C
  • Steer Tube Length – 300mm
  • One-piece 1-1/8″ Steer-tube
  • Fits 45c + Tires
  • Full 100% 4130 Heat-Treated
  • Full CNC CRMO 5mm thick dropout
  • Dropout Offset/rake: 20mm
  • Weight: 2 lbs 8 oz

Another piece of news Resist announced to my surprise was a 26″ fork! This one featured a threaded top cap, short A2C at 391mm, and a butted steerer tube. BEEFY. Here are the specs:

  • One-piece 1-1/8″ Steer-tube
  • Full 100% 4130 Heat-Treated
  • Full CNC CRMO 5mm thick dropout
  • Dropout Offset/rake: 20mm
  • Weight: 2 lbs 6 oz
  • 391mm A2C
  • Steer Tube Length – 165mm

Both forks are available now on the Resist webstore!

Volume Prototype Stem Review

While I haven’t shared any pictures yet of my new Ruff build yet, i thought I’d show off the stem I’ve been running first. Volume was kind enough to send over one of their prototype stems for me to try out and review. Click into the post for full thoughts and gallery, lets go!

Volume + Resist 2023 Line Available Now!

This might be old news to some of you, but I wanted to wait till I got some c r i s p y pictures of all the new products. The 2023 Volume + Resist line is HERE. A lot of us have been dreaming for this day to come and I actually still can’t believe it’s here.

Available on this first (and certainly not the last) drop are Thrasher frames, Cutter frames, Resist pivotal saddles, seatposts, seatclamps, and tires. The purple Thrasher and white Cutter are available at any of your local bike shops who carry Volume products while the gold Cutter and pink Thrasher are exclusively available on the Volume / Resist website. Only 15 of each size were made in the website exclusive colors.

These dudes were nice enough to shoot me a Thrasher frame so look out for my build with that soon. In the meantime you can grab some items from this drop on the Resist website HERE

VOLUME 2023 FRAMES

This is WILD. Volume Bikes making Fixed Gears… in 2023! While Epic already broke the news, here’s an exclusive high res look at the frames that Volume will be dropping in a couple weeks. They’ll be re-releasing the Cutter and the Thrasher. Essentially a V7 Cutter and a V3 Thrasher. I think they’re just testing the waters a bit with the market, so it looks like they’re just dropping these colorways for now in limited quantities. I’m digging that purple a lot.

From what I’ve heard, the Cutter is looking to fit 45c tires just like the V6, but with unchanged track style geometry. So that’s pretty cool news. This isn’t all that Volume and Resist are cooking up, so keep your head on a swivel for more info.

Also look out for a chance to win one of these frames as a raffle prize for our upcoming Suck My Comp 6 competition!
