We got radial spokes for you flatland riders. Oxidized black and tuff as nails. I'm pretty hard on wheels and was fed up with snapping the el'cheapo type hand cut ones. A year later on these spokes and not a broken or buckled wheel yet! A bonus is that these spokes DONT rust! These radial spokes are of the finest quality and come from a top secret manufacturer in the USA (they produce our custom length titanium spokes for us) These guys are American made, 177mm long, 14 gauge. Will fit most small to mid size hub flange/rim setup. R180 for a pack of 36 or R240 for pack of 50. They don't come supplied with nipples- but I'll throw some 16mm nipples in for nothing if you be needing them.

You ask what of the titanium spokes? We do them at around R22 each (that's cheap by the way), We special order these for you if you buying; any length and pretty much any color is available. Waiting period is about 2 to 3 weeks. If you not sure what size you need, give us a shout we can advise.

How much lighter are titanium spokes to regular spokes?? It boils down to a saving of around 200 grams per wheel. That's comparing the ti spokes to painted Primo forged spokes in the same wheel setup.

Tye dye titanium spokes.

The new colors of the Fit Series 3 Mike Aitken frames have been announced; flat black, flat raw and flat green. We should have some of these in the next shipment arriving later this month. Looking darn fine!!

Sean Mkinney sent over a photo of the Revenge Industries Reefer Slops. They should be hitting our South African shores in a few weeks, we be getting the sticky green and black tar colors in a few sizes. If you know what the Revenge grips look like then you will have a pretty good idea of what these look like...
If you not living near the East Coast you may wanna get a pair of these and stash them away till the summer returns.

Here's the 1st of many new video clips to come. This one is of Darren, see what he's been up to. Posted up in here.
