Tiogo Comp 3 tires are back on the shelves after a long time of absence. Plenty stock available, get em while you still young. R160 a pop.
I have both 20x2.125" and 20x1.75" instock.

The original Comp 3 tire back in South Africa.

The crew and I headed out to Petermaritzburg on a small filming excursion on Sunday. Dstar, Stuart, Jacques, Ashley, Raymond hit up the titty bowls, mini ramp, a kickass school (with a killer bank) and dirt jumps in the blazing hot sun.

Jacques.

Stu the who gapped over this rail to land in an enormous grass bank. Excuse the shady photo, I grabbed this one off one of the video cameras.

Stuart hopping high.

We weren't at the trails even 20 minutes when Stuart took a bad one over the second jump just coming out of a turndown...he went down hard- slammed head,shoulder and then wrist into the bombhole. The Doc reckons he'll be mended in 4 weeks, Stu crushed bones in his left hand and has a couple of grazes to the mug and arm. Gah! He'll be ALRIGHT!

High 5's on the right please.

Jacques switched his Mix cassette out and decieded to run the KHE Geisha freecoaster hub for a while. Summin different I guess. Expect a few video clips coming your way. Uber-tech lines going down at beach park and Gateway of late.

Freecoaster love.

The Tree lite sprockets are going into production in February and should be shipping to us in March. Sam informed me that custom teeth sizes and drillings will be available (19mm and 22mm). I will be stocking the 22mm drilling in black and sizes 25t, 28t, 30t and 33t. Special sizes such as 23t and 26t will be available but you will need to pre-book your drilling and color now if you would like it to be ready in time for our shipment. Colors will be black, silver, red, gold, blue and green.
If you prebook and pay before mid February I will confirm your price at R450. If you purchase at a later date your price will be the norm R550.
With Tree's legendary design and quality you can be sure this is going to be one awesome piece of machinery. I posted more of this on the forum with photo's, see page 3 of that topic for the latest. Check it out.

All the hooligan riders have buggered off now and things are quitening down just a little. I'm trying desperatly to get back into the swing of things (not very easy when you are asked to go ride every couple of hours!!)
More of the Ghetto photo`s will be put up over the weekend, (I've been slacking on those) and I have a couple of video clips handy too.(Thanks Baloo Jeff) In the meantime here`s a few rad photo's from the last week or 2s sessions, I threw a flatland one in for good measure.

The Ghetto Jam was a huge success. A massive thank you to everyone who helped out and showed up to ride and spectate on Sunday. We had a great turnout of riders from all over the country.The weather was a little shitty over the 2 days but we managed to have an kick ass time. I had a easy schedule for the day and fired off Am and Pro runs as they happened. The judging was loose but fair I think, Amateur riders judged the Pro's and Pro's decided on the winners for the Am's.
The Props High Hop attempt was rained and prize giving was a washout too but everyone who was there said they had a great time.

I am busy with the spans of photo`s and footage of the Sundays riding and should have some more online soon. In the meantime if you havent seen the photo's from the Saturday, check them out. Here are the results from the '06 BMX Direct Ghetto Jam.

Pro:
1. Chris Barnes
2. Roscoe Siebers
3. Stuart Loudon

Amateurs:
1. Zack Mthembu
2. Darren van Wyk
3. Eddie- from Cape Town.

Saturday was a cracker of a morning, the sun was blazin as we began building at the park for the Jam. We got lost looking for BPO (Bidfreight Port Operations) down at the docks but managed to find them just in time before they closed for the weekend. BPO supplied us with enough pallets to erect a solid spine and a couple of curved wallrides. It rained heavily in the afternoon but we missioned on through it to get as much done as possible.We were pretty much ready for Sunday except for a few minor preparations that needed to be done.

Roscoe took the boys out to see the Finkelsteins at a very wet Wavehouse that evening and things got loose. A good few tequilas were passed around and not much sleep was had as the crew crawled home in the wee hours of the morning.

Many hands = light work.

Darryn always muckin about.

KHE Geisha hubs are in! Get em while there here, supplies are VERY limited.
The Geisha hubs are standard 36hole right side drive only. I have 9t or 11t options available and a choice of 3/8"ths for flatlanders and 14mm option for you street cats.
Like i said stocks are limited and these hubs are darn fine. The mechanism inside is very unique and very light. There are 3 'slack' options available, so you may set the amount of play you would like to run in the hub, its as simple as adding or removing a washer from inside the hub. R1300 with any of the above options.

The full photo in here.

The KHE Tanaka fork was my first choice of fork after my last fork retired after 4 years of hard service. Its fine oh so fine...zero rake, 3/8th axle slots, 800 grams, full japanese tubing, alloy stem cap and available with a choice of mounts or no mounts. Whats interesting is that the brake mounts are removable from the fork. We have both the brakeless and 990 mount forks availble. R1000 per fork, finest quality flatland fork out there in my opinion.

Removable brake mounts, zero rake.

The 1st box of KHE goods arrived late last week. Tanaka forks and How To DVD's. Flatlanders can now enjoy quality zero offset forks with or without mounts. More details and specs to be added as all the stock arrives. See KHE for more. http://khebikes.com
If your waiting on those Geisha hubs, I expect those sometime this week. I will keep you posted.

Super lite, super stiff. With or without brake mounts.
