Is it time for a new BMX Sprocket? We just spotted a shot on the Strictly BMX Instagram of the new Federal Bikes BBS Sprocket that is CNC machined from 4.5mm thick 4130 heat-treated chromoly with a unique look to match the popular BBS automotive wheels and a 24mm bore. The BBS sprocket is available in 25 and 28 tooth versions for bolt drive and 25-tooth for spline drive with 19mm and 22mm adaptors included for the bolt drive version and black for the only color as of right now.
Over the years, we’ve seen some interesting colorway combos come out for BMX bikes and we’re sure they will just keep coming. For example, Colony just released TWO new colors we don’t recall ever seeing before — Blue Bubble and Scratch black. It looks like these colors will be available on their
Cadiz sprocket, CC sprocket, Squareback stem and Official stem at the moment. But, we have a feeling this might expand into frames, fork and bars in the future. What do you think?
Here’s some news some of you older guys will be pumped on! Profile Racing have re-released the classic Blackjack Sprocket in a 25-tooth version to celebrate its 18th anniversary since its original relase. This sprocket is CNC machined in Florida out of 6061 aluminum that is anodized black, an then post-production machined to give it the polished details.
What’s even better? They have released the sprocket at the same price that they released the original one at in 1998! $44.99. These are very limited edition, so if you’re trying to get one, hit up your local BMX shop or favorite mail-order and tell them you want one. Otherwise, you can pick one up directly from the Profile Racing Webstore now.
There’s no denying that we’re always big fans of what Tree Bicycle Co. produce because of their quality, attention to detail and design process. During Interbike, we caught up with Sam Schulte and got a look at their OG Sprocket and Guard combo and we’re really digging the look of it, so we figured it would be a good idea to take a closer look and really go through the details on this one. So, let’s get into it!

A few months back we were tipped off about a brand from Russia called “Brotherhood” that was producing a few different BMX sprockets and small parts. The reason we were so interested is because of a two-piece sprocket they had developed called the Oyster which is similar to an actual oyster was hollow and has two parts that come together to make a solid piece. The other day we received a package in the mail and would you know, there was an Oyster ready for us to get a closer look at. Curious what this thing is all about and how it works? Let’s talk about it…
Is it time for a new sprocket? Have you checked out the Profile Racing Sabre sprocket yet? This sprocket is CNC machined here in the U.S.A and comes in sizes of 25, 28 and 30 tooth versions (and additional racing sizes) with adaptors to fit 19mm bolt on and spline drive, 22mm bolt on and spline drive and 24mm bolt on style spindles. This sprocket is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Profile Racing world wide now.
It looks like Colony have been working on a special project that has had its fair share of hurdles to over come to make it happen. Above is a sneak preview of their new Pursuit sprocket that is being produced in Australia. Similar to how the cost to have products produced right here in the U.S.A versus Taiwan is higher, it’s even higher in Australia which makes something as simple as a sprocket tricky to be produced for a good price. But, it looks like Clint over at Colony has found a way to make it work. Get more details below! We’ll keep you posted when more information is released.
“For years now, I’ve wanted to make some products here in Australia for Colony. But it’s proven much more difficult & less viable than expected. Sad but true, it’s not that easy to have BMX products made here in our country.
But, I am stoked to release first images of our prototype Pursuit Sprocket here made by Input for us, right here in Australia.
Inspired by the legendary stock steel pursuit wheels on many a iconic Australian car.
Full details will be released over the weeks ahead. They will be available in limited supplies towards the end of the year.
Sweet pursuities bro…” – Clint Millar
