Sneak Peek: Mutiny – 22mm Cinch Cranks
Here’s a little sneak peek look at the updated Cinch cranks from Mutiny Bikes. They’ve bumped the spindle up to 22mm from the 19mm version and added an investment cast spindle boss. Between these two things, it sounds like these cranks are even stronger than before. Check out the full explanation below and expect these out late Summer!
“Check out a very early sneak peek of the new Cinch 22mm’s. As you can see we’ve added a investment cast spindle boss which helps for an improved junction between the arm and the spindle boss. The arms have been beefed up a little too.
We decided to go with a 22mm axle over a 24mm axle for the simple reason that while the axle may be slightly stronger, that the energy still has to go through somewhere and that point would likely be the crank arm. So the 22mm axle with our newly revised arm seems to make the most sense to us.
These along with a whole grip of new stuff will be out in August.”
Sneak Peek: Shadow Conspiracy – Serpent Sprocket

This sprocket will be available this spring with a colors of black, Crimson red, Perma blue, white, purple tie dye, raw polished and copper tie dye with a weight of 2.2 oz.

“ESPN will present the inaugural X Games Austin June 5-8, 2014, at Circuit of The Americas (COTA) in Austin, Texas. This year’s event will host more than 200 athletes at COTA and in downtown Austin. Action sports fans visiting COTA will enjoy many staple X Games disciplines at two different locations along the track’s 3.4 miles, including the newly added discipline of Stadium SUPER Trucks and the homecoming of BMX Dirt to U.S. soil after making its return last year at X Games Foz do Iguaçu in Brazil.
Building on last year’s debut of the X Games Music Presents series, X Games Austin will also showcase a world-class music lineup to complement the world’s premier action sports competition, including internationally acclaimed and Grammy Award-winning artist Kanye West, Flaming Lips and Pretty Lights.
Utilizing the large footprint of the COTA venue, the X Games on-site experience will grow significantly in 2014, bringing fans a full festival atmosphere surrounding the sports competition, complete with live music, athlete autograph sessions, pit access, Austin’s world-renowned food and drinks, interactive villages for fans of all ages and more – all included with the purchase of a ticket.
“X Games Austin 2014, will be a four day sports, music and lifestyle festival,” said Scott Guglielmino, sr. vice president, programming and X Games, ESPN. “The best athletes, competing at the highest levels remain the core of X Games. But we’re incredibly excited about being able to create a full-scale festival around that, which celebrates some of the other elements of the X Games lifestyle – music, friends, family, food and fun.”
“We look forward to hosting the X Games this June and introducing tens of thousands of brand new customers to the world-class venues we have at Circuit of The Americas,” said Paul Thornton, president of TAG Presents LLC, the events Management company for COTA and the Austin360 Amphitheater. “Austin is an ideal location for this international event as this city represents the bold and independent mindset embodied by the X Games. We’re ready to give action sports fans a Texas-sized festival experience with sports, music, rides and activities above and beyond what has ever been attempted before.””
