Failure have been on fire lately with a bunch of dialed looking prouducts. Here’s a look at their new front Chub Guard which will be out this summer. I’m not sure if it will prevent semi-boners or fat chicks from getting to you, but it does look like it will protect your spokes. Don’t forget to hit their news section on their site to check out the new topload stem, pegs and rear hub guard.

Sneak Peek: Madera Top Load Stem
Madera just dropped this sneak peek of their new topload stem they having cooking down in Florida. Here’s all they released about it so far… Expect more details soon.
“Nothing is in stone yet, but, rumors are:
Just as light as the Profile Push Stem
A nice and tall bar location (taller than the Push?!?) to make your bars sit higher
A reach size somewhere in the middle of most to fit the needs of man.”
Sneak Peek: S&M 22″ Bike
About a month back, I had emailed Chris Moeller (name drop) about a few things I was working on. During the conversation he mentioned something about him riding a 22″ bike. For one reason or another, it didn’t really click to me that he was planning on producing a 22″ frame, fork, wheels, or even a complete bike for that matter. Then this thread popped up on Bikeguide and I definitely realized I completely blew being ahead of the game, haha. Above is a sneak peek of a prototype 22″ bike that he’s been riding and it sounds like going into production.
Either way, I shot Chris another email seeing if we can get some answers out of him about what’s to come from S&M in the future. Let’s hope he’s interested.
Sneak Peek: Foundation Top Load Stem
Foundation posted up this sneak peek of their new “Babel” top load stem they have in the works. Clement Carpentier has been giving it a test. Looks like a solid unit. Expect more on this in the future.
Sneak Peek: Fiend Grips
I thought I posted up a sneak peek of this the other day, but it would appear that I’m imagining things. Here’s a look at what the new Fiend Team grips will be looking like. No other details, but I’m going to go with soft krayton rubber, there’s slots so you can cut the flanges and your hands will approve.
Sneak Peek: Shadow Conspiracy Drive Side Hub Guard
This looks real clean.
“You asked for a drive side compatible hub guard and The Shadow Conspiracy delivered. This has been in development for quite sometime and are happy to finally be able to reveal some details. This guard will replace the cone washers on our new 14mm Female Raptor Rear Cassette hub and will be fully compatible with the Shadow Interlock V2 Half Link chain. Keep your eyes peeled as more details will be coming the closer we get to the guard’s MAY release date!” – It looks like Verde have added a fresh new colorway for their 2012 Cadet complete.
