Here’s a video showing you all the steps to properly instal Profile Racing BMX Cranks!

Profile Racing have released this new How To video explaining all the proper steps to installing a new set of their BMX cranks with a Spline Drive sprocket. The Spline Drive system allows you to eliminate the need for a sprocket bolt, simplifying things with less parts involved in the process. This video takes you through all the steps from getting the sprocket on the spindle to making sure the cranks are properly tightened down. After that, you also get all the steps on how to remove the cranks as well. This is a pretty easy process that only gets easier after you have done it a few times. If you want to learn how to work on your BMX bike, this is a great video to check out.

Leave a Comment

With the 2017 product starting to land at BMX shops and mail-orders worldwide, it’s a perfect time to take a closer look at all of the new frames and parts that Mutiny Bikes have to offer to their line up! As always, Mutiny did an amazing job of creating a line that is not only strong, but aesthetically pleasing, too. They also have avoided having a massive line of products, by only creating products that they feel they can offer something of value, versus just pumping out every part possible and slapping a Mutiny logo on it. You can get a full look at everything with photos, full specs and details below! Let’s start things off with the frames and bars.

2017 Comb Frame

The Jeff Wescott signature Comb frame is looking dialed with a fresh coat of Honey Red paint. This frame is made from 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with a 74.9-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.8″ bottom bracket height, 9″ standover height and a 13.2″ – 13.75″ chainstay length. You can find a taller 125mm Integrated, offset thickness head tube that is heat-treated for additional strength, top and down tube gussets with the debossed “Badge ‘N Bones” logo, double-butted top tube, straight gauge elliptical down tube to help resist denting, a heat-treated Mid bottom bracket, integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut for better clamping with less torque, a custom seat stay bridge, 6mm thick dropouts with integrated chain tensioners and removable brake mounts on the seat stay.

The 2017 Comb frame comes in Honey Red for the only color with 20.8″, 21.1″ and 21.3″ top tube lengths!

Offset thickness, 125mm tall integrated head tube. The offset thickness allows for a stronger weld where the top and down tubes and gussets meet the head tube to help resist cracking.

Custom seat stay bridge and an integrated seat post clamp with the horizontal cut for better clamping with less torque on the frame.

6mm thick dropouts with integrated chain tensioners.

2017 Death Grip Frame

The brand new Dylan Lewis signature Death Grip frame has been getting plenty of buzz thanks to the past few months where Dylan really caught everyones attention at the Van Doren Invitational and Battle of Hastings contests. The Death Grip is made from full 4130 Sanko chromoly tubing with a 74.5-degree head tube angle, 71-degree seat tube angle, 11.65″ bottom bracket height, 9.15″ standover height and a 13.7″ – 14.2″ chainstay length.

Insight: Demolition Parts – Dennis Enarson Signature Rig Line

Leave a Comment

It’s always fun checking out the latest BMX parts that brands are releasing. Over the past two years, the Dennis Enarson signature range of products from Demolition Parts have been making their way to BMX shops and mail-orders around the world and the final piece has just been released, the Rig stem. We figured now that all the parts are available, we would take a look at the entire range of Rig parts. So, if you’re looking for a new stem, bars, cranks or tires… You’ll want to take a look! Let’s get into this!

RIG STEM
Let’s start off with the newest addition to the line. The Rig top load Stem is CNC machined from 6061 alloy with a 53mm reach, 33mm stack height and 32mm rise. The stem is 45mm wide, which gives it more area to clamp on the bars to reduce the risk of slipping. You can also find a rounded back, beveled edges, a debossed Demolition logo in the face plate, extra internal machining for additional weight savings, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush fork compression cap.

The Rig top load stem is available in black and polished with a weight of 10.8 oz and a price tag of $62.99. It can be picked up through any BMX shop or mail-order that carry Demolition Parts worldwide now.

RIG BARS
The Rig Bars are made from heat-treated, 13-butted 4130 chromoly tubing with two rise options; 9″ and 9.25″, a width of 29″, 12-degrees of backsweep, 2-degrees of upsweep, 6.5″ (9″) or 6.75″ (9.25″) crossbar height and an 11.28″ (9″) or 11.3″ (9.25″) crossbar width.

The Rig bars are available in Black and chrome with a weight of 33.2 oz. (9″) with a price tag of $67.99 for the black or $73.99 for the chrome bars. These bars can be picked up through any BMX shop or mail-order that carry Demolition Parts worldwide now.

RIG TIRE
The Rig tires were designed to go wherever Dennis wanted to go whether it’s the skatepark, streets or trails. You can find a smoother pattern in the middle of the tread to help reduce rolling resistance and deeper grooves and blocks with knurling on the sides to give you plenty of traction while turning. The tires are made from a dual density rubber compound that is 20% stronger and more durable to help prevent the tires from wearing down or cracking quickly with nylon cord plies, 4 cord wire bead steel cables to ensure the tire will stay on the rim and a 110 PSI rating.

The Rig tire is available in sizes of 2.25″ and 2.40″ with colors of black, black with a tan wall and black with a white wall and a price tag of $25.99 each. These can also be picked up through any BMX shop or mail-order that carry Demolition Parts worldwide now.

RIG CRANKS
If you haven’t caught on by now, the entire range was designed with strength being key. The Rig cranks were especially designed for their strength. The cranks start out with heat-treated 4130 chromoly arms with a built in ridge face for increased strength and stiffness with a spindle boss that sits flush to prevent the dreaded crank arm bite, a 24mm, 48-splined heat-treated chromoly spindle and chromoly spindle bolts with 3/8″ ratchet and 6mm allen key slots to keep your cranks tight.

The Rig cranks are available in flat black or chrome with 170mm and 175mm sizes (Note: 165mm will be coming in the near future), a weight of 31.6 oz. (175mm) and a price tag of $149.99! The Rig cranks can also be picked up through any BMX shop or mail-order that carry Demolition Parts worldwide now.

The Rig Cranks also come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY against bending and breaking.
