Product: The Shadow Conspiracy – Tie Dye Raptor Hubs

March 6, 2015

Here’s one we have seen pop up a few different times since September when we checked out The Shadow Conspiracy’s Interbike 2014 Booth. For 2015, Shadow have two new tie dye colorways; raw tie dye and red tie dye, that will be found on a handful of their parts. Today they announced that these color options will be available at the end of March through all shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide. Above is the raw and you can check out the red after the jump! While we’re on the subject of the Raptor hubs, for 2015 they now come with the SDS (Switch Drive System) drivers that allow you to easily switch between right and left side drive! This is also available on their popular BTR cassette as well.

The fifth episode of the “Wheels of Confusion” series featuring the FBM takes the crew to their home base in New York where Steve and the crew ride some local spots, check out the FBM warehouse and get close with a blow up doll… Wait… Yeah.

“The FBM crew is back where it all started in Ithaca, NY, where the dudes shred Steve Crandall’s old local, bust some trains, and heckle loan skateboard shredder Josh Swyers. From Ithaca the bus rolls to Binghampton, NY where Kenny Horton, Eric Holladay and Latane Cognill break off to ride some street and Holladay proceeds to bust his balls on a wild rooftop set up. Back at the FBM factory, the crew set up camp for the weekend, Crandall gives us some insight into running a independent business in an ever changing, fickle BMX landscape, and Travis gets acquainted with Lyndsay Blowhan, his “cuddle partner” for the trip.”
