February 1, 2016

Here’s a sneak peek look at a BMX Seat we caught a look at back in September during Interbike. This is the Kink “Smut” Stealth seat that will be hitting BMX shops and mail-orders this spring. The seat features a screen printed cover with a bunch of girls from the older style magazines way back before they showed all the goods. It utilizes Kink’s Steal seat system which works like a Pivotal, but the bolt goes from the bottom for a clean look!

Animal Bikes – Chris Silva Nub Nuts Promo

February 1, 2016

Here’s a promo BMX video featuring Chris Silva putting his signature Nub Nuts from Animal Bikes to proper use! Chris has been running these for a little while now, but it looks like they’re finally available through BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide. These little nub nuts replace your axle nut or bolt for female hubs with a longer, round nut or bolt that gives you a little something to grind on. This is a great option for those of you who want a little extra challenge when it comes to grinding or just don’t want to run pegs, but still want to grind. Check it out!

“I don’t believe I’m over-stretching when I say that no one else in BMX that has pegless grinds on lock like Chris Silva. Most the credit surely goes to Chris and his borderline obsessive attention to detail, but his signature “Nub Nuts” from Animal surely get some credit, as well. No need for a 17mm, either. Just use a ratchet and you’re good to fire out pegless backwards rails, hangers, and pegs to hard 180’s.

“Chris Silva’s signature “Nub Nuts” are made from Heat Treated Chromoly. They are available in 14mm female and 10mm male (10x1mm TPI)”” – Ride BMX
