He also said that they will be able to have a larger line of products. I think S&M was already really busy with Fit or something like that.

Ok, this is off topic but! My manufacturing teacher used to race BMX and he was talking to me about it one day because I ride it, and he was telling me about these two guys he knows and used to race with, and they are the ones who own S&M. I was like "WHAT!?!" I'm gunna see if he can get me a dealio on some partsBig Grin

Cool. I'm not sure if you already know this but one of the guys who founded S&M, Gregory Scott Swingrover (the "S" in S&M and one of the two your teacher raced) eventually sold out of the company and started the BMX racing company Crupi. Just some random knowledge. Better get on topic now though.

pretty sick but it would be annoying to take wheel on and off, why dont they make thru axles for bmx front hubs and forks just like on mtb's?

That's a good question I can't answer, because I'm not as knowledgeable in that aspect of biking.

"There are going to be a small batch of 7075 aluminum press fit hub guards made for the Gsport Ratchet.

Essentially it will replace the non drive side collar on the Ratchet with a nice guard made from a durable aluminum. They will retail for $30 + shipping. "

The new fit FAF 2.3 tire Smile coming soon

God how I wish frames and forks would just go back to having slightly bigger drop out, thus eliminating the need for a hub guard....

nice, they really should make a through axle for bmx, its easy to install and take off, and i guess it would weigh the same???

idk, maybe it aint such a good idea
