Shadow Conspiracy – Treymone Stem

June 19, 2017

Let’s take a look at the new Treymone Stem from The Shadow Conspiracy!

Is it time for a new BMX stem? Have you given the new Trey Jones and Simone Barraco signature Treymone Stem a look yet? This stem is based off the original Ravager Stem, but is design to be more responsive for technical street riding. The stem is made from Cold Forged and CNC machined 6061-T6 alloy with a 51mm reach, 27mm rise, a 32mm stack height and a 50mm width at the top cap. You can find heat-treated chromoly M8 6mm solid hex bolts to keep everything nice and tight and a recessed top for a flush fork compression cap. They’ve kept this stem clean and simple, plus having it cold forged versus entirely CNC machined helps keep the overall cost of the stem down as well!

The Treymone Stem is available for $44.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy and in the Shadow Conspiracy webstore in colors of Black, Silver, Polar Blue, Ignite, Livid Purple, Crimson Red and Arsenic with a weight of 11.5 oz.

This stem is Cold Forged, with some additional CNC machining. This process creates a strong, but affordable stem since less work and time is needed to produce the stem. That’s a win / win. Don’t forget it also has solidd heat-treated chromoly bolts to keep things nice and tight.

The Treymone Stem is available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide, or on the Shadow Webstore for $44.99.

BSD Introduce Gorilla Grip Over Size Bar and Stem System (25.4mm)

May 4, 2017

Will we start seeing more bars and stems available in 25.4mm? It looks that way..

It looks like Wethepeople and Eclat aren’t the only ones giving the 25.4mm size bars and stems a go. The crew at BSD will be offering their new “Gorilla Grip OS System” with over sized 25.4mm bars and stems a go. The system increases the diameter of the bars tubing that meets the stem for increased clamping area (roughly 14% more) from 7/8″ to the bigger 25.4mm (1″) size. The size change might not be excessively obvious, but the larger tubing of the bars and stem does increase surface area for clamping, which does help resist slipping better.

The Raider, Safari and Passenger bars will all be available in this new 25.4mm size, along with their existing 7/8″ size they were originally made in. So, you don’t have to convert if you aren’t feeling buying a new stem and bars.

Here’s a look at a 7/8″ bar on the left next to the new 25.4mm (1″) bar on the right. The change isn’t super noticeable. Unfortunately you MUST use a 25.4mm stem with 25.4mm bars, and 7/8″ stems with 7/8″ bars since these aren’t cross compatible.

The new Gorilla Grip OS System stems look like the originals, just a little bigger diameter for the bars to fit in.

The new Gorilla Grip OS System bars and stems will be available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide starting this month!
