Tree Bicycle co just posted pics of the new race and 3/8 versions of their straight pull hubs. The race hub has a 16t tree sproket thread on cog, that looks pretty dang sweet. The 3/8 is going to be for trail, pegless street or park riders. These hubs look pretty nice so head over to Tree for more info and pictures.
The Shadow Conspiracy dropped these new slim bolts for their Raptor front hub. These are for the pegless riders out there looking for a cleaner and lighter bolt option. Weighing in at 0.9 oz. per bolt, with black, crimson red, blue, green and orange for color options. For more photos, hit this link.
Ever since I’ve started riding 10 or so years ago, there has been a brand in BMX that I remember hearing people swear by time and time again. That brand would be Profile Racing. The U.S based brand out of Florida that produces the classic hubs and cranks that have stood the test of time from riders all around the world. I’ve had two sets of these Mini hubs sitting on my desk the past few days and just looking closely at them, it’s no wonder why they have become so popular over the years. I figured it would be pretty cool to take a closer look at these hubs and give you guys a little more insight as to what makes these hubs so special. Let’s take a look…

I’m sure by now you have taken notice to Tree‘s different level of products. There’s a lot of products out there, and it tends to get a little painful seeing the same products with different brand names on them. Sure, there’s only so many ways to make a pivotal post, seat or even a set of bars, but there’s always room for improvement and trying different unconventional routes to creating a new product. Sam, the owner of Tree, is one of those guys who is unconventional and that’s a good thing. The Straight Pull hubs are a prime example of doing things a little different and having it work out great. I figured it would be cool to take an indepth look at their Straight Pull hubs, so I shot Tree some questions about them. Take a look and let them know what you think in the comments. If you are looking to get a set, you better act fast since these things sell fast…
I’ve been running a Cinema Tungsten rear wheel for a while now. I did a review on it back in December after about a month and a half of running it. In the review I mentioned that I would recommend you pick up a hub guard for the wheel since I was seeing quite a bit of wear from grinding. After a few weeks I took my own advice and picked up a Shadow Conspiracy guard. When I went to install the guard, I ran into a bit of a dilemma with the guard not fitting on the wheel right. I figured by now there’s plenty of people running a Cinema Wheel, and it’s a pretty common style of hub, so I decided I’d give a little tutorial on what you should do to fix the hub guard issue. Take a look…
