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!

MATT SPENCER – TAKE IT

When I first started doing tricks on fixed gears around 2010, Matt was one of the first riders I got really into. His fluent style, trick choices, and editing were what drew me to his riding back then. 13 years later, Matt continues to deliver on all those things and more. This was one of the edits we had the pleasure of premiering during the Suck My Comp weekend and you already know I will be watching again and again and again. Nearing 15 minutes of wild spots and a wide variety of riding, this is one for the ages.

Matt prefaced me on this edit basically saying it was just a bunch of decent tricks gathered through the years, almost like a throwaway edit, but this is far far far from just leftover “decent footage”. So many scary setups, sends, flow, all of the above (besides barspins of course). Sit back for this one, get Lost and Take It in.

RUFF BIKE CO – COREY SAN AGUSTIN

It’s HERE. The highly anticipated Corey San Agustin for Ruff edit is finally available for public consumption. Putting in hard work over the last 3 years, this nearly 8 minute edit is nothing short of a masterpiece. Combining Corey’s creative approach to spots, pegless 29er bike, fearless riding, and spots courtesy of spotmandude, this makes for one of the most enjoyable pieces of Fixed Gear content to come out in the last 5 years EASILY. To top all this off, all of it was filmed in standard definition, making it a serious vibe. Corey also put his editing skills to the test as he doesn’t edit very many videos typically. If you watch one video all year, this is the one to watch. Well done Corey and team!

CSK GUARD SPROCKET NOW AVAILABLE

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.”
