Sneak Peek: Subrosa – Sawtooth Tire

Subrosa dropped a sneak peek look at their new Sawtooth Tire!

Here’s a little something we spotted while scrolling through the Instagram today. Subrosa posted this photo of Jabe Jones dialed in a new bike after his old bike felt the wrath of the FloriDeah Swampfest. In the photo, we get a sneak peek look at the a prototype Sawtooth tire that Subrosa are working on that uses a zig zag pattern that resembles, well, a saw blade. This type of pattern has been done on motorcycle tires and even tractor tires, so it has to work, right? No details as of right now beyond this photo, but we would imagine if they’re willing to show a photo of it, that it will likely be released in the near future. We’ll keep you posted when we find out more!

The grip was designed by Cult and sent to ODI for production. Using their proprietary rubber compound, we have created a grip that we hope will become as much of a classic as a pair of Vans.

BSD – White Donnasqueak and Donnastreet Tires

Leave a Comment

Looking to freshen your bike up with some white tires? BSD have you covered with their Donnasqueak and Donnastreet tires.

The crew at BSD decided with the winter ready to hit, they might as well make some white tires for you to get your hands on. We’re sure that’s not the actual reason, but let’s just pretend it is. They have released the Alex Donnachie signature Donnasqueak and Donnastreet tires in this new white with black wall color option to freshen your bike up with.

Above is the Donnastreet tire. Both tires are made from the same great rubber compound that gives you plenty of grip and the right amount of squeak. The difference between the two tires are the tread patterns. The original Donnasqueak tire has a more aggressive tread pattern that is ideal for street, ramps, even a little dirt. The newer Donnastreet has a smoother pattern with a similar look, but is more ideal for street riding.

Both tires are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide starting this week! The Donnastreet comes in 2.30″ and 2.40″ sizes and the original Donnasqueak comes in 2.25″ and 2.40″ sizes.

Leave a Comment

The new Donnastreet Tire has arrived…

Is it time for a new set of BMX tires? Here’s a look at the new Donnastreet tire from BSD. The Donnastreet Tire is Alex Donnachie‘s second signature tire and it’s based off the original Donnasqueak tire that was originally released in 2014. This tire is made from the same grippy and squeaky rubber compound with a smooth center tread to reduce rolling resistance with Z shaped grooves on the sides to give you additional traction while turning. Inside you can find a tear resistant Silkworm casing to help resist flats.

The Donnastreet has a 110 PSI rating, comes in widths of 2.30″ and 2.40″, black for the only color (for now) and a weight of 25.75 oz. (730g / 2.40″ size). You will be able to pick it up from BMX shops and mail-orders that carry BSD worldwide starting this month.

Don’t worry! If you’re a fan of the original Donnasqueak tire, those will still be available and continue to be produced!

Available in black only with 2.30″ and 2.40″ sizes available! These tires are Alex Donnachie’s signature tire, so you know they’re going to be perfect for getting down on street spots and even skateparks. We can’t guarantee they will make you ride like him though!

The tire is made from the same grippy and squeaky rubber material as the original Donnsqueak tire, with a smooth center tread and Z shaped grooves on the sides. You can also find all over micro-knurling to help with the traction.

Bridgestone Air-Free Bicycle Tire? Is This The Future?

2 Comments

No, this doesn’t specifically have to do with BMX… But an Air-Free Bicycle Tire? If this doesn’t peak your interest you have never had a bad day with multiple flats.

Here’s one we spotted on Hypebeast that caught our attention. Apparently Bridgestone have developed an Air-Free Bicycle Tire that is made from a Thermoplastic Resin that is basically hard enough to hold up to the weight of a rider, but still has some give for comfort. It stretches to support the riders weight and, what we would assume, impacts encountered along the ride to keep it from feeling like you’re rolling on a rock. These tires are clearly geared toward the person out for a casual stroll or on a road ride that aren’t planning on hopping, spinning and putting the wheel through serious abuse like BMX wheels and tires are designed for, but it’s an interesting concept to think about.

Could this be applied to BMX bikes? From our best guess, probably not. We would imagine between the side to side and vertical stress being put on BMX wheels and tires, these would probably break pretty quickly, which would be a bigger pain than replacing a tube. These tires will undoubtedly be far more expensive than a new tube would ever be, so it wouldn’t make it worthwhile from an economical standpoint, either.

For any BMX rider that has caught a flat during a session, we’re sure the thought of a tire or tube that couldn’t go flat has crossed your mind. I mean who wants to take their wheel off their bike, pull the tire off, replace the $3+ tube, get the tire back on, pump it up and then get back into the session?

It will be interesting to see where things go in the future as new technologies or ways of doing things are developed. Maybe someday we will see something like this progress enough to make it worth trying! You never know.

It sounds like the Air-Free Bicycle Tire from Bridgestone won’t be available until at least 2019, so don’t expect to see these as an option any time soon, at least not from Bridgestone. Some of you might recall in 2011 Bridgestone also patented a design for airless car tires that had a similar design as these tires that have been used / tested on some cars, ATV’s and even skid loaders. It will be interesting to see if they ever actually become a thing, even on cars.

As you can tell by the photo above, these tires are currently being designed for casual riding and maybe even road or mountain bikes? We could see these tires being use in other styles of bikes, but we don’t expect to see these anywhere near a BMX bike any time soon. Below is a video we found of a similar style of tire being tested on a Mountain Bike, but they aren’t really beating on it, too hard…

Here’s a video explaining how the air-free car tires work, which is similar to what the Air-Free Bicycle tire does.
