Product: Madera – HT Cranks
If you caught our latest Drawing Board interview with Profile on their hubs, at the end they mentioned that Madera would be releasing some new cranks. Well, here they are. Fully heat-treated and a warranty to give you plenty of faith.
“Here they are after a long time testing and lots of prototypes. The HT cranks are made from 4130 Chromoly steel that is swaged to give the HT cranks their initial strength and then heat treated for a final hardening process. One of the biggest changes is that Madera is now offering a warranty on their cranks!
The new HT’s now incorporate a Limited Lifetime Warranty* against bending and breaking of the arms and spindle.They are available currently in Matte Black with other colors to follow.
MSRP of $142.95”
You should be able to pick these up wherever Madera is sold as of today. If not, have your shop give them a call and get a set coming your way! For more information, hit MaderaBMX.net.
Products: Vol. I
Over the years, I’ve definitely developed a big interest in the product side of things with BMX. Something about all the small details, specs and time that go into a product really gets to me just as much as riding these days. I’ve definitely had the opportunity to find out more about how products are made while interviewing brands and product designers as well as the chance to find out about products that the rest of the world only get a glimpse of online during events like Interbike and Frostbike. I was also given the opportunity to handle the Productivity section of DIG from issue 73-87 until recently deciding to step away to focus more of my attention on The Union. I decided I wanted to keep doing what I was able to do in those pages the last few years but turn it into a weekly column here on a smaller scale where I feature 5 products from 5 different brands. Give you all the specs, where to find it, how much and pretty much every other important detail. So here it is…. the first round of Products:. Check it!

Sneak Peek: Sunday – Broadcaster Frame
I think Sunday says it best…
“Jake Seeley has been riding and testing out a new frame for us called the Broadcaster. This bike works so well for him that we are giving him a signature colorway and maybe something else. More information coming later, but for now check out all the detail shots of his bike.”
Not much for details on the frame as of this moment, but it looks to be based around the Forecaster frame which I’ve always heard real positive things. You can get a full break down of Jake’s bike by CLICKING HERE. Expect more details soon!
