Last time I checked, tires are a pretty important part on a BMX bike. Not only do they keep you rolling, but it’s one of the easiest things to change on your bike that can make the entire feel of the bike ride different. Over the years we’ve seen tires smoother than your smoking hot sisters butt to some really agressive tires with more knobs than you know what to do with. We’ve also seen tires go from skinny little 20 x 1.95″ all the way up to 20 x 2.35″ (and even more recently 2.40″) monster truck sizes. One thing we haven’t seen up until recently is something that also helps with safety. Fit recently released their Night Vision version of their popular F.A.F tires that not only will help keep you rolling smooth, but they also have reflective sidewalls that helps make you stand out to car lights and looks pretty rad too. I figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at these guys, so let’s get into it.

Accent X The Union – Hear To Win Contest Winner and Answer
Here is the answer video to the “Hear to Win Contest” we did with Accent Collaboration this week. The contest was pretty straight forward. All you had to do was check out the video we posted and listen to the grind that was being done and let us know what you thought it was. Tyler Spear was the first person to guess correctly with a smith feeble bar from Justin Dickinson. Tyler won a hand designed and locally printed Accent tee. Check out the video above to see the actual clip this time around! Thanks to everyone who gave it a shot and everyone who checks out the site and supports Accent.

This week we’re going to take a closer look at the Current tires from Sunday Bikes, the Butter nylon pegs from Cult, the Elite fork from Demolition, then we’ll get a look at the Ravager top load stem from The Shadow Conspiracy and finally wrap things up with the new District complete bike from Volume Bikes! Ready? Alright, let’s do this…
Insight: Shadow Conspiracy – Multi-Tool
One thing that I think most riders need to pick up on over time is how to work on their own bike. Growing up, my older brother and I used to hit up garage sales and pick up bikes just to fix them up. I learned a lot about how a bike works just by simply taking things apart and figuring out how to put it all back together. Back then, things were a little more complicated and 9 times out of 10 I found myself regretting pulling a set of cranks or a headset out when I was stuck chasing ball bearings around on the floor (I can only imagine how many of you older guys just started laughing). Now days, BMX bikes have become easier to work on with pretty standard sizes and sealed bearings. Along with that, tools have been developed to simplify the task even more. One of those tools would be the Multi-Tool from The Shadow Conspiracy. Whether you’re just a beginner learning how to avoid stripping out all your bolts or a mechanic that’s turned plenty of wrenches at a shop, this is one tool that will make your life a little easier. Let’s take a closer look!
