January 14, 2016

A video posted by Chris Moeller (@moeller_chris) on Jan 14, 2016 at 2:43pm PST

It would appear that Chris Moeller caught everyones requests to see more of how BMX products are made. The other day he posted up a clip of how knurling is added to handlebars, now today we get a look at how they bend the tubing for an S&M Bikes or Fit Bike Co. fork. It seems pretty simple, but it’s still pretty interesting to see since we don’t always get to see the production side of BMX. We want MORE!!!

“Forkin’ A! @sandmbmx and @fitbikeco legs are made one at a time. This one by @jasonball75” – Chris Moeller

Have you ever wondered how knurling on the bars or really any other part on your bike that might utilize this technique to keep your shit from slipping? Well, Chris Moeller posted this quick video clip of them getting the process done on a set of S&M Bikes or Fit Bike Co. bars in their warehouse in California. If you’re a product nerd like us, this stuff is awesome to see.

“Totally knurly bro! One of the most difficult parts of making the best handlebars in BMX! So many little tricks in equipment, tools, cutting fluid and materials to get this seemingly simple diamond knurl right. We’ve been at it non-stop since 1999 and I think it shows.” – Chris Moeller
