The industry gold standard of driver hubs, the Master 64, are now back in stock! One new aspect of this drop is the option to order these in a 3/8th axle rather than 14mm. Great news for Thrasher, Cutter, and most Trick Track riders! The bolt on cog adapter is a must do for track riders too.
Alongside the hubs dropping, Master now has some shiny new Top Caps and Seatpost Clamps for sale.
Fixated’s new FURIOUS Trick Track rims are now available for purchase! €80.00 per rim, comes in both 32H and 36H, laser etched logo. Lightweight with some good strength, perfect for that trick commuter build. More specs:

The very mysterious US made Ruff Bike Co CSK guard sprocket that I teased a couple months ago is now available for purchase! You can buy the sprocket alone as well as guard options on the website. $82 USD for the sprocket alone, extra $12 for the insert (19mm and 22mm options available), and an extra $10 if you want the guard with it. Here’s what Ruff has to say about it:
“We designed some 25 and 28 tooth sprockets that are compatible with Profile steel spline drive inserts and machined to accept select 4 bolt pattern nylon guards.
These sprocket were manufactured in the US from 7075 t6 aluminum alloy.”
Today we have an SMC EXCLUSIVE sneak peak look at the new Ruff CSK sprocket I’ve been riding for the last month. I’ve been enjoying the benefits of not breaking my chain on things while simultaneously loving the way this thing looks on my bike. While this is only a prototype and things are subject to change, the front of the sprocket is actually design-less and the CSK engraving sits subtly on the back of the drivechain. I dig it.
Figured I’d shoot some complete pics of my current build too while I was showing off the sprocket. You’ll notice this time around a higher seat than normal and a bunch of new scratches on my paint. Stay tuned for Ruff sprocket updates!
Something I didn’t expect to see in 2023… a Resist resurgence?! If you don’t know, Resist was the leading FGFS parts company from 2010-2013 owned by Volume Bike Co. 10 years later, it looks like they’re making a resurgence. Maybe my email from September telling them to bring Resist back actually made them think about it 😳. Either way… this is crazy. I wonder if this is a one off tribute to their dead parts company or there are plans to bring back more, we’ll reach out for further comment. For now though, snag a pair of brand new Resist Cranks here. Here’s what Volume says about em:
“The new Limited Edition Resist Cranks: We added a new heat treatment process, thicker tubing and made them with a stiffer shape.
All for those that need the security of a stress-free crank.
Heat-treated tubular chromoly arms with a forged spindle boss that is flush with the arm to reduce ankle scarring, 48 spline, 19 mm hollow chromoly spindle and flush mount spindle bolts. RHD/LHD compatible. And, they come with a manufacturer’s Lifetime Warranty against cracks & breaks.
**19mm Mid BB Sold Separately
165mm & 170mm Crankset includes Spindle & Spindle Bolts
The famous Fixated Stout sprocket is now available in silver! With splined options becoming more and more scarce, this is slowly becoming our scene’s go-to option. Luckily for us, it’s a great option. Cop here!
Destroy just restocked their beautiful Unicorn Killer and Unicorn Killer comp frames in two of probably the sickest colorways I’ve ever seen. You’ve got the Shark’s Blood and the Ox Blood to choose from and they’ve both got real sick texture on the paint. Aesthetics aside, the geometry of these frames are on point. If you’re on the shorter side of the height spectrum, they’ve developed the Unicorn Killer Comp just for you. The standard Unicorn Killer is a bit taller. Pick them up here before they’re gone! (Teal is already sold out on the Comp version)
