Tree Bicycle Co. have dropped a few photos giving you a sneak peek look at Sam Schulte’s new signature Moto bars and their new traditional style 6-bolt topload stem that is looking so damn clean. You can get a look at the photos by clicking here. No word on the release, but based on the branding they’ve got on both, I’d say early 2013 at the latest.
It’s about time that Broc Raiford got himself a signature part. He’s been on fire this year! Volume took notice and that’s why they we have the Bourban Street bars for you to check out. This 13-butted, fully heat-treated 4130 chromoly bars have a rise of 8.75″, width of 30″, 11.5-degrees of back sweep and 4-degrees of upsweep. These bars also feature a widened box and raised cross bar which increases the strength. You can pick the Bourbon Street bars up in chrome and flat black with a weight of 30 oz. even.

Let’s face it, Zippo lighters are the shit. I don’t know a single person that doesn’t think that. You can now pick one up from Dan’s Comp for $29.99. Check out more info below.
“Classic Zippo lighters custom engraved with the Dan’s Comp lightning bolt in three finishes. Available exclusively at Dan’s Comp. Zippo lighters are an iconic pop culture item and known for being durable and reliable. Perfect for camping and countless outdoor uses, as well as just looking cool. Unfortunately, this custom Dan’s Comp Zippo does not shoot lightning bolts, but it will produce a small, controllable flame. Zippos lighters are sold without lighter fluid. Lighter fluid sold locally and not available through Dan’s Comp due to shipping restrictions. ”
We gave you a preview of the new Mutant Bikes Owl hubs during Interbike in September. These unique hubs work on a sliding female axle which not only look really clean and work really well, it simplifies things and even creates a stronger female axle. In the video above, Nuno gives you a look at how quick you can install two hub guards and 2 pegs on the cassette hub and it also gives you a look at how the sliding axle system allows you to tighten both sides down by simply tightening one side due to the sliding axle. I believe these hubs will be hitting shops in early 2013 so start saving now!
“We designed and developed the Fe-Male system to maintain the look of a female hub with the possibility to use pegs without bending axles or breaking bolts.
With the Fe-Male axle, you can use 14mm pegs, but if you don’t use pegs, you just need to put the spacer washers.
To tighten the hub is very simple, just adjust the wheel by hand on both sides, make sure the axle is minimally centered and then give the final tightening with a tool in just one side, it will be properly tightened because the axle slides from one side to the other.
The advantages of the Fe-Male axle are:
Easy to tight
One single axle for a male or female hub
Stronger”
