Saturday already? Damn time has been flying. Only a few more days until Christmas too! I doubt there’s time to get those requests to Santa in time, but I’m sure some of you have a local shop that will be able to come through for you if you’re trying to get some dialed new parts for your bike before Christmas. I can also imagine some of you will have a big bag of cash to blow on your bike in a few days as well. So let’s get into this weeks Products: column to give you a closer look at Colony‘s 2013 Sweet Tooth frame, the 33 Forks from And Forks, Wethepeople‘s Sieze stem, Profile Racing‘s new “Liberty” t-shirt and the Indent cranks from Fit Bike Co.. Let’s get into it!
Product: Deluxe – F-Lite Wheels
Deluxe‘s new F-Lite complete wheels will be hitting shops around the world real soon. This time around they’ve got their brand new F-Lite V3 hub that’s made from a CNC machined aluminum 36 spoke, low flange shell with sealed bearings in the front a rear, a 9-tooth right side drive one-piece driver and 10mm female axles front and rear with a 14mm adapter for the rear. The hub is laced to the M12 6061-T6 double-wall welded rim with stainless steel spokes. You can pick one of these up in black, silver, titanium grey and deep red with black rims and black spokes.

Make your way on over to The Merged where Dave dropped a fresh interview with Odyssey about their 41-Thermal forks. Definitely a real interesting read!
Sneak Peek: Bizhouse – Ratchet Prototype Sprocket?
Effraim at Flat-Matters just dropped this on me and my brain exploded. Bizhouse dropped this quick clip giving you a sneak peek at their “Ratchet”… system? No description, no real information but what I’ve gathered from this video is this.
They’re working on either a sprocket or some sort of bottom bracket that works like a ratchet wrench would work. When you pedal forward it engages and allows you to pedal, but when you are not putting forward pedal pressure on it, it allows you to freely roll backwards without pedaling. Similar to how if you are tightening a nut, you wrench and then pull it back to reset and tighten more.
Essentially this allows you to run a freecoaster without having to replace your rear hub.
I’m not going to lie, this is blowing my mind. Effraim is going to try and get a few answers out of Sean at Bizhouse about this one, so hopefully we can get some answers here soon.
What do you guys think?
