Product: Standard Bykes – Over Load Stem

March 3, 2015

Are you on the hunt for a new stem but you want something a little unique and different? Have you given Standard’s Over Load stem a look? This stem is CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum right here in the U.S.A with a 48mm reach, 32mm stack height and 20.75mm rise. This stem features a hollowed out bottom section, extra machining on the sides for additional weight savings, a rounded back for a smooth, knee friendly look, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush compression cap. This stem is unique because it also features a bottom that replaces the top on your integrated headset! Because it has this feature, it sits like a traditional front load stem due to not having spacers or that cap. The Over Load comes in colors of black, blue, gold and red with a weight of 10 oz. Standard offer custom power coated colors and polished as color options as well, just get in touch with them to make that happen.

The Over Load stem is available through all shops and mail-orders that carry Standard Bykes worldwide now.

Insight: Standard Byke Co. with Rick Moliterno

January 29, 2015

When you think of legendary BMX brands, there are always a few that instantly come to mind and there’s no doubt that Standard Byke Co. is one of them! We recently stopped by their warehouse in Davenport, Iowa to learn a little bit more about the brand that was established by Rick Moliterno in 1991 where they have been making high quality frames and products right here in America, along with doing in-house production of their frames and products since 2007. We get a good history lesson from Rick, a look at their warehouse, some insight into their production and of course some riding clips from the man himself! This is BMX.

Rick Moliterno Warehouse Session

November 25, 2014

You can’t go wrong with some Rick Moliterno footage! Especially from a session on the ramps in the Standard warehouse in Iowa!

It’s not every day that we see some fresh footage of Standard owner, Rick Moliterno! In fact, it sounds like this is his first ever web video to ever surface online! Not too shabby for a guy who is just shy of 50 years young. Check out Rick getting a session in on the ramp setup in the Standard warehouse out in Iowa where he puts those front brakes of his to proper use and comes through with some dialed clips!
