Pedal Week

It's pedal week at IMG. That means you get to buy some cool pedals and we get to sell some. How about that? Here is the long awaited PC's in tangerine and blueberry and Trail Mix pedals in blue splatter.

Oh, if you saw Ben wondering around at Empire of Dirt with a smashed up face and a chicken suit on his head, feel free to abuse him this week....especially if you're Matt from Cycle Connection and don't have a clue what I'm on about.

Brakes in 2008?

This is the new brake from Proper. It comes with a CNCed hanger and all the hardwear including the clear pads (Baradine/Plasmatic style) that we recommend for use with Proper wheels and rims (or any other coloured rim brand). Available now in the UK in black, white, gold, purple, blue, red, and magnatitanium grey. Just in time for Empire of Dirt competitors!




Magnatitanium grey? Yep, with so many people still repping the Magnatitanium hubs from a few years back, we brought back the old favourite for the colour obsessed amongst you....along with gold and green. Brown is now gone!

Check the new Odyssey website....

Quelle heure est-il?

David Lombard sent us this photo of his Simple frame, seat, hub, and stem. Also on board are Odyssey Aiken tyres and fresh 'difficult' brown Proper rims. Next time you see David buy him a drink from us.

They look like Wombolts yeah?

Yeah they do. This is the elusive T-wombolt, basically a perfected Wombolt. We get these in the UK next week in 175mm RHD black only (for the timebeing). We have LHD and coloured Wombolts if you need those. The new arm will fit your existing Wombolts.

Head over to the Odyssey site more details.

Joe Cox's Sunday! Second Wave

Joe Cox and his bro are in SF filming for the Lotek video. We sent Joe a few bits before he left that you can see on this Sunday! website bike check. In other news, Tom Blyth is finally getting close to riding again and we sent him some GSport and Odyssey stuff, so he could dial in a new bike.

There is some cross wires in the new Ride UK, Dan Figg has been added to the Proper team and not Odyssey........sorry for any confusion John!

Russ, please don't eat the truckster.

This is Odyssey's new Griswold grip featuring a Wagon Queen family truckster in Metallic Pea on the flange (that doesn't have "honky lips" sprayed on the side). Here is one of my favourite quotes from the masterpiece that is National Lampoon's Vacation;

Cousin Vicki: I'm going steady, and I French kiss.

Audrey: So, everybody does that.

Cousin Vicki: Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it.

These arrive in the same shipment as the PC pedals and the T-wombolts. They'll be available in the same colours as the iPC pedals later this year.

Proper got ya back!!

Here is the latest range of Proper t-shirts as modelled by GSA Ben. Click the above to see them in a bit more detail. (l-r TTL by Aversion's Louis Mikolay, Unwind by Jon Edwards, Rain by Dave Sowerby, Splatter by Jon Edwards, and Crest from Chris Connelly). We also have a regular Proper logo shirt but I'm sure you can figure that one one. In stores now.

Choose ya weapon

Odyssey's best selling PC pedals will shortly be in the country in these hot colourways. We've got tangerine, grape, lime, strawberry, blueberry pictured here.....we'll also have graphite (clear black) as well as clear and the original black. We're expecting these on 18 July......all of the pedals pictured above are limited to this delivery....matching grips to follow.

Ilegal

Nuno at Ilegal was rocking a side parting and a small paunch the last time we saw him. Tell tale signs of someone spending too much time behind a desk thinking about BMX parts.....we're expecting some giant spectacles the next time. Anyhow, here are the revised cranks in raw. We've never had a warranty issue with a set of these and now they're slimmed down with a machined plate around the spindle boss and blow holes in the pedal boss. Luke Towey and Alex Platt are on these boys so you know they're strong.

This is the Ilegal frameset. It comes in raw or flat black and 20.7 or 21.0. Check out the seat tube juction (now with integrated clamp). Tidy and fuctional.

Morning vs Night

Sunday! forks are 41Thermal and come with the same lifetime warranty as Odyssey forks. We have the Morning 2 (or 2.1) forks in UK green, mint green, white, orange, light brown, battleship grey and blue......rustproof black to come in a few weeks. So do you want Morning forks or Night forks? Here are the specs;

This is the Morning 2.1.........below is the Night 2.1.

Fly Tierra bars

Dear Colin,

The Thierry bars are now in stock, only they are actually called Tierra bars. I'm really sorry but there is no such thing as Didier Drog-bars, I guess we just like to keep ourselves amused by acting like we are still at school sometimes.

2009 Proper forks.....yeah!

These are the new forks from Proper. Although these are in the final stages of testing still, I don't expect to see any changes between these and the final version (except the graphics).

Features;

- Tiny CNCed 5mm thick drop outs with just enough room to fit and support a peg.
- Threaded steerer tube with CNCed Proper top cap.
- Big blow holes in the fork legs (nearly as wide as the tube).
- Tapered legs with cutaway for peg clearance.
- Heat treated 4130 chromoly tubing.
- Integrated headset washer.

These beauties weigh just 855g without the top cap. Click the photo to see how much with.

These are the dropouts - big enough to support and accomodate pegs on the outside and big enough to support your cone nuts on the inside. Perfect.

Please note the Proper website will down for the next 24 hours while we change provider.

Def grips?

We think you're gonna like the new grips from Proper. This is the finished version and a few have leaked to shops today.

"Most of the team are on Longnecks so we didn't want to stray too far from that classic design, just made a few changes that we consider to be improvements.

- We opted for a simple nylon bar end.
- We made the flanges smaller and with an option to remove them cleanly altogether (saves your thumbs on barspins).
- We removed the bulbus end section, opting for a more or less dead straight shape.
- We made the grips a little longer to cater for people that prefer to use bigger bars.
- We included some new colour options including clear purple, clear blue, clear green, clear black, regular clear and clear red. We also have regular black and white. "

Triumph bars

Welcome to the Sunday! Triumph bar. Sunday's all singing all dancing 28" wide, 8" rise bar, in 41thermal (lifetime waranty) and these four hot colours.

Funkier than a mosquito's tweeter

We have a big shipment of Fly Bikes stuff arriving this week. Feast your beady eyes on some of this Spanish company's hottest property.

These new female hubs are pretty low, pretty wide, and pretty damn pretty.
Campillo's flew out (faster than Torres) the last time we saw them. Here's why. Flat white or flat raw on these.
These CNCed Fly brakes are now available in grey (along with all the other hardgoods.
Luna bars are the Dylan Smith signature signature. Tall (8") and not too wide (26.5") like Iniesta but less costly if you want to buy some.
Fly grips (135 and 155mm lengths) are sold individually. We also have these in the o.g. gum colour.

Fly bar ends are cheap like San Miguel. Although try to avoid ramming these down your throat on a Friday night!
What to you call a painter with brown finger's? Nevermind, here is the new grey parts range. Picasso by the way.

These are the new front rims.......they don't need to be cross laced. These are easy to do up.

These tyres are folding and thus can fit in your backpack when you go riding.......a bit like golf legend Severiano Ballesteros only Seve's head would poke out the top if you had a small bag. Fly's Fino seat.....that's seat not Seat. Try a car shop for them.
The matching post......this is taking too long. Headset cups. Spanish are good at winning cups. This low rise version is definately a winner.
High rise. Like Torremelinos.

Tierra bars and frame. In raw. Like sushi......not as good as tapas.

These are the new colourways for Fly's product range. Orange, pink, and turqoise are gone.....like evil fascist dictator General Franco.

We have 22mm mid bb's in all the new colourways including this blood red.

Fly cranks are coming in 175mm only this time. Flat raw (seen here), flat black and flat (not dirty) white.

Up above is the Luna frame and down below is the bashguard.
