Another 700c x 26 Debate

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

This old chestnut! with the continued progression of FGFS and a many people switching to 26″ fixed, its understandable bike companies are trying to get their heads around which direction its going… I think companies like Grime offering their ‘Yo Mang’ frame as a 26″ and 700c version is the way as its mostly down to personal preference. Personally I’m gonna stick to 700c fixed, as I have a 26″ DJ bike and will be getting a new BMX for the park and street! Join in the debate this time over on Volumes website!

Volume’s New Hipster V2 Bars

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

A new tougher and wider upgrade to the previous Hipster Bar these have a 2.5″ rise and come in a clamp size 25.4mm, pretty sick, but how come they don’t do a 22.2mm?

FEATURES:

With the majority of riser bars on the market being aluminum, we really wanted something that riders can abuse without sacrificing strength in the process. We’ve seen too many aluminum bars break due to how brittle the metal is. Yes aluminum is cheap and light as hell but would you jump off a building with em’? The Hipsters come from the same tubing as our 13-butted, 4130 CRMO, heat treated BMX bars.

SPECS:

  • Full 13-butted, heat treated CRMO
  • Clamp size: 25.4 mm
  • Rise: 2.5″
  • Width: 27″
  • Backsweep: 11°
  • Upsweep: 1°
  • Weight: 10 oz

COLORS:

Chrome, Raw, Black & White

Volume’s 26″ BMX… yeah boy!

Volume Vandal Build

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

When I first saw this frame earlier this week I was pretty sure it wasn’t designed specifically as a 26″ fixed freestyle frame, but I’m sure quite a few people did and will give it a try… but why fixed? I really like this bike and I’d prefer to ride it with a free wheel as a big bmx! rad!

Anyway what Volume say:

“Apparently our new Vandal frame has gotten a ton of feedback from all sorts of peeps in the industry, I mean blogs.  Is it a FGFS or a DJ?  The Vandal is basically our Sledgehammer 26″ BMX, except simplified.  We’re not saying it’s one or the other.  It’s a 26″ frame that was designed to easily maneuver around for whatever you ride; fixed, dirt or just cruise the curbs.”

I’m loving it

Sunday, November 14th, 2010

Yeah I know, I know, the Volume Thrasher has been out for awhile now… well I only just got mine and this sexy blue color has only been available since about mid September in the UK. The good news is, I’m stoked on it! Hops and 180s etc. feel good and it rides just how I wanted… it feels snappy, light and quick, although on this medium version with 700c wheels I get a lot of toe overlap when the front wheel is reversed, which I thought should have almost been eliminated? this makes those hop bars as tricky as on my previous frame and fork… This fork is the Thrasher fork which has a lower ATC which makes the whole ride feel pretty dam nice… I can’t wait to go ride again!
