Thinking about some new BMX Cranks? Have you given the new Dolmen 2 cranks from Fly Bikes a look yet? These cranks are made from fully heat-treated 4130 chromoly with a 2.5-piece spindle design that helps reduce weight by using only one bolt to tighten them down. The arms have a D shape to help resist denting, one-piece arms and pedal bosses with Investment Cast spindle bosses for increased strength and a CNC machined spindle bolt with a recessed allen head hex for a clean, flush look.

The Dolmen 2 cranks are available in 22mm and 24mm spindle versions with colors of black, Stainless and semi-translucent brown, sizes of 165mm, 170mm, 175mm and 180mm and a weight of 1.98 lbs (175mm / 24mm spindle).

Fly Bikes – Sergio Layos 2016 Video

March 11, 2016

If you saw one or all the teasers dropping online this past week for Sergio Layos‘ new Fly Bikes video, you were probably anxiously waiting for today all week. Now the video is hear and damn is it good! Sergio Layos brings his classic speed and style to everything he touches and this BMX video came out so good. Absolute MUST SEE.

“It must be the upbringing, the culture, the vibe or just a different overall outlook on life and riding, but somehow the riders that Spain breeds have shaped a style that others aspire to emulate. Sergio Layos is at the forefront of this with unique simplicity, speed and being almost ‘as one’ with the bike’s synergy, epitomising this generations’ riders and those that came before him with his pure ‘Suave estilo’.

“I’m super stoked with the result of this, my latest Flybikes video, filmed by Hugo Almeida. Hugo and I have been friends since the early contest days in Portugal and it’s amazing to be able to work with him. Stefan Lantschner and Courage Adams were also on hand to help film, riding some amazing terrain in Catalonia where we spent a few days on some of my favourite spots in the country. Included are also clips from Malaga where I ran into Hugo by accident! The whole video was filmed in less than a week and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Hope you guys like it as much as I do.” – Sergio Layos

The Art of the BMX Sprocket

March 4, 2016

It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these “The Art Of” pieces, so we figured it would be a good time to take a closer look at one part in particular that we’ve been thinking about lately, the BMX Sprocket. The other day we were bouncing around to a few different brands websites to see if there were any new products or anything else new to see, and we ended up staring at the sprockets. When you think about it, the sprocket is one of those things that can really be altered the most as far as aesthetics go. We’ve seen A LOT of sprockets in BMX’s history, so we decided to stick to sprockets that are currently available. Even with cutting it back to that, there’s still a ton of options available. Add in the different combos between the standard bolt drive, Spline drive, and socket drive, colors, versions with guards, etc. There’s a lot to take in. We bounced around and picked out some of our favorites from a number of brands, which you can check out below with a few words about each! Ready?

Fly Bikes have released a new Bike Check with Stefan Lantschner giving you a closer look at his current 2016 Montaña setup decked out with Fly Bikes parts from top to bottom. Not only does the bike look amazing, we’re loving the photos, giving us a look at his shop where he’s got other toys like his motorcycles. Stefan builds custom Cafe Racers on the side, so it’s pretty cool to see the two come together (which you can see better in the other photos).
