The time has come! If you’re looking to build yourself a fixed gear trick bike, you’ve come to the right place.
The long awaited tri-annual buyer’s guide has emerged. In this article, we’re going to break down your buying options as of now for FGFS and Trick Track products. Availability will vary depending on when you’re looking at this article, but we’ll do our best to foreshadow the market. Let’s dive in!
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!
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!

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!
Here’s what WOLF DRAWN had to say about them:
“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.”
