Got a care package recently from Resist, much needed after busting up my bike in Europe! Big thanks to Resist for the constant support and keeping me rolling. Some of the lovely items in my package include:
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!
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:
Lightweight tricktrack rim. – 700x23mm – 32h & 36h – 565grams – Designed to reduce spoke stress. – 100% made in The Netherlands!
The dudes over at Fixated are making moves! They just released these new 26″ “Tenacious” freestyle rims for the people, which was desperately needed because options were getting scarce.
Specs on these boys boast 39mm width, 750g, and made in the Netherlands! Cop a pair here.
Jacob Ruff self filmed clips from a few different trips he’s been on. Could watch him ride for days, too smooth. Theres some really good stuff in here, check it out.
As promised, Matt’s edit came out today to promote the new Ruff Bike Co. Can Rims. Its been a little while since Matt has put out his own solo edit and it’s definitely been worth the wait! You can count on him to deliver fucking quality riding and creativity that nobody else fucks with. Brakes have been trending lately but Matt is at the forefront of it and taking full advantage of it with so many insane abubacas in this edit and different tire tap combos. Personal favorite trick in this was the footplant keo variation at 4:04. Executed so perfectly. Matt can do anything from tech to huge gaps as proven in this edit. One of his best pieces to date. Don’t sleep on this one bit. SKRT
Digging the RAW series Matt has been dropping of different riders. 2nd one to drop is himself for an upcoming RUFF edit he has in the works. There’s some really good clips in this one so I’m real eager to see the real deal.
Ruff just dropped a new product simultaneously with Elliott’s newest edit called the “Can Rims“. With the declining rate of FGFS specific parts, this is just what the doctor ordered, especially with the mega-affordable price of $50 a rim. Ruff is keeping shit alive. If you need some new rims, the Ruff Can rims are just what you need. Support FGFS, SNAG EM HERE!
“Ruff Bike Co is extremely excited to bring you the RUFF CAN RIM. In the last few years there has been a decrease in fixed specific parts and we felt we had an opportunity to contribute to the riders by offering these hoops. The rims come with heat treated alloy double-walled design that creates a stiff and durable wheel to be able to huck those big drops and ride away. Coming in polished silver and anodized black at a competitive price of $50.”
