Touring a BMX Bicycle Factory In Taiwan with GT Bicycles

October 5, 2017

As many of you know, a very large portion of the BMX industry have their products made over in Taiwan. In the past, it used to be a sign of cheap products with less than stellar quality, but that has changed pretty drastically over the past decade. Although we love our Made in the USA products, we do know that a lot of products coming out of Taiwan are actually dialed and high quality. During a recent team trip to Taiwan, the GT BMX team had the chance to tour a factory that makes BMX bikes (and a number of other styles of bikes) to get a look at how it all comes together. Ride BMX tagged along for the trip and filmed a little behind the scenes look at what goes on in those factories. We don’t know about you, but we find this all interesting as hell. Check it!

“Have you ever wondered how those complete bikes get assembled and where and by who? Here’s an in-depth look at a reputable bicycle factory in Taiwan that we got to tour while on the road with the GT BMX squad… Complete with hyperbolic test chambers, moving conveyer belts, wheel building machines, and much much more. This shit is pretty nuts, but major shouts to all of the factory workers out there who keep up cruising in the streets! Thank you to Ben Ward and GT for making this happen.” – Ride BMX

The classics keep on coming from GT Bicycles. Let’s take a look at the new and improved Power Series Cranks!

If you have been riding BMX for a long time, there’s no doubt that you’re familiar with the Power Series Cranks from GT Bicycles. These cranks were a staple in history of BMX cranks. Fast forward to 2017 and GT have re-released two versions of the cranks; chromoly and alloy.

Chromoly Power Series Cranks

Up top you can find the chromoly Power Series cranks. These full 4130 chromoly cranks start out with tubular 175mm arms with sprocket bosses on both arms making them right and left side drive copatible. The arms are attached to a 19mm, 48-spline hollow chromoly spindle that allows you to easily run Spline Drive Sprockets if you prefer. Everything is held tightly together by flush mount bolts.

The Chromoly Power Series cranks are available in 175mm only, weigh in at 28.9 oz., chrome for the only color and a price tag of $129.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GT Bicycles worldwide now.

Alloy Power Series Cranks

The original Power Series cranks that started it all. These modernized cranks are made from forged 7050 aluminum with steel pedal inserts, sprocket bosses on both arms making them left and right side drive compatible and 175mm length. You can even find a laser etched logo to match the classics on each arm. The arms are attached to a 22mm, square spline, hollow chromoly spindle with 2 pinch bolts per arm and flush mount bolts to keep everything nice and tight.

The Alloy Power Series cranks are available in 175mm only, weigh in at 34.3 oz., chrome for the only color and also only cost $129.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry GT Bicycles worldwide now.
