Dan Foley – Can’t Beat That New Frame Feeling

March 16, 2017

One of the big perks to being a sponsored rider is the occasional surprise package with a new batch of parts and a frame. The other day Dan Foley got a package from Cult with a new frame to dial his bike in with. Here’s a little video he put together from the build and his session at the Jaycee Park in Greenville. As always, great riding and some clean film work! Check it!

“Built a fresh Cult Hawk frame and got in a quick park session. Broke my chain and battled the wind, but neither put a damper on that new frame feeling.”

Dan’s Comp – How To Assemble A Complete BMX Bike

March 16, 2017

Did you buy a new complete bike and need some help putting it together? Check out how to assemble a complete BMX bike here!

Dan’s Comp coming through with another How To product video for your viewing pleasure. This time around, they’ve put together a video giving you a look at how to assemble a complete BMX bike! This talks about everything from initially opening the box and inspecting the bike for any manufacturer defects or damage from shipping, to properly installing things like the handlebars and pedals and then final inspection for things like tire pressure and more. If you have never built up a complete BMX bike out of a box, this is some great advice. Otherwise, you probably already know everything that you’re about to see since it’s a fairly basic and easy process!

“Congratulations on your new BMX complete bike from Dan’s Comp! Buried within the Dan’s Comp video vault, we found detailed instructions on how-to complete the assembly of your new bike, right out of the box. Enjoy.”

This time around Matt talks about joining the Fit team, turning Pro for Fit and Odyssey, filming for videos, his signature frame colorway and more. Matt mentions his Matt Nordstrom Pro Part that dropped the other day as well.

“After four years with Fit and a colorway in the works we thought it was the perfect time to “Fit Caught Up” with Texas technician Matt Nordstrom. Matt has had a lot going the last few months and a bunch of coverage to follow. More to come from his California visit but until then, we’ll let Matt fill you in.

Sneak Peek: Credence – Black Magic Frame

March 16, 2017

Here’s one we caught wind of over on Can You Dig It that’ll get the trails riders out there stoked. It looks like Matty Aquizap will be getting his own signature “Black Magic” frame from Credence Bikes! This frame will be made right here in the United States by S&M Bikes out of full chromoly with a 74-degree head tube angle, 9.3″ standover height, 11.6″ bottom bracket height and 14.1″ chainstay length. There wasn’t anything on seat tube angle, but we would guess 71-degrees.

Based on the photo it appears to have top and downtube gussets, an integrated seat post clamp, Mid bottom bracket, 14mm dropouts, a wider rear end to fit the 2.40″ tires and welded on chain stay brake mounts.

No word top tube lengths or colors, but Chris Moeller mentioned in his Instagram post gloss white. We would assume black will also be an option since, well, the name is Black Magic.

Expect full details once the frame is available.
