GSport – High Pressure Rim Strips

October 13, 2017

You probably don’t put much thought into your rim strips, but GSport have some new ones for you…

Over the years we have seen a lot of interesting things used for rim strips from old tubes to duct tape and even cardboard. Generally when you think of a rim strip, you think of a thin piece of rubber with a hole for your spoke or some heavier duty tape. That works and that’s fine, but if you’re looking for something a little nicer, GSport have released their new High Pressure Rim Strips that was made as a high quality option for your wheels. You can pick up a set of two for $4.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GSport worldwide now.

“When you can’t even see a part, you might forget about it, but it doesn’t mean it’s not important.

Flat tires are probably the most common bicycle failures. Many times, flats are caused by the rims, specifically the lack of protection from the rims sharp edges. Good rim strips didn’t exist for BMX rims.

Our new high pressure rim strips work well and improve the function of any 20 inch rim. If you forget about them, that means they are doing their job.

Hit up your local bike shop, favorite mail order, or our online store to get a pair.” – GSport

Mike “Jersey” Taylor Retires From BMX

November 17, 2016

Hanging my pegs up ?I'd like to thank all my sponsors & friends who helped me out on this awesome journey that is bmx ? #retired

A photo posted by mike taylor (@jerseyt) on Nov 16, 2016 at 9:36am PST

It looks like Mike “Jersey” Taylor has decided to retire from his Pro BMX days as he officially stepped down from the BSD and G Sport Pro teams (but we would imagine he’ll still be apart of both brands teams) in a post on Instagram. Jersey has been an absolute savage on the streets for years, so there are probably a few rails that are breathing a sigh of relief, but we’re sure he will still be out there crushing it on a BMX bike. It also looks like he’ll be making moves in the downhill mountain bike world, so maybe you will see him more if you’re into bigger bikes in the near future, too.

Either way, Mike was one hell of a rider and there’s no doubt that he has left his mark on BMX’s history over the years!
